Press & Partnerships

For over a decade, I built the forward-facing business, scaling retail,
supporting emerging brands, and leading private founder communities.
I lived in the spotlight of entrepreneurship: creating,
hosting, guiding, delivering.

And then I turned inward.

Hats Off began as a personal practice.
 A quiet moment before I poured into others.
 It’s since grown into something bigger,
a platform, a movement, a reminder to pause
before we step into go-mode.

Today, I create spaces, both online and off, for people who carry a lot.
Founders, creatives, caretakers, leaders. Hats Off
 is where we return to presence before pushing forward.
Where we remember
 what we’re here for, not just the
title we identify with.

I’m building this for myself, for my community, and for anyone
craving something deeper than
methods to do more, faster. Hats Off
is how I stay close to what matters.
It shows up in how I speak. How I slow down. How I gather. How I listen.

This isn’t performance.
It’s presence, practiced.
