Valentine’s Day reflections… Life always makes more sense in retrospect. As Kierkegaard put it, “Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards.” ❤️ #ValentinesDay
There’s no doubt that it takes some exceptional qualities to get to the top. Especially when on the way up, a woman will be dogged by charges of “ambition,” “drive,” and “pushiness.”
But the biggest obstacle isn’t the media or male colleagues (or even some of our fellow females). Worse than the culture’s approach to women in power are our own fears about power: the fear that we’re setting ourselves up for attack, the fear that we’ll alienate others, the fear that we may actually become the caricature of the obnoxious, shrill, she-devil boss.
All these fears manifest themselves in the fear of expressing ourselves. It’s an internalized censorship of ambition. Which is all the worse because, now more than ever, we need women leaders to take us beyond the world of fear we live in.
You can find many examples of how to do this in @juliaboorstin’s “When Women Lead” — it’s filled with both research and stories from many of the top women leaders in business of how they fulfilled that ambition.
Sometimes achieving our goals isn’t about adding things to our lives, but subtracting.

Earlier this week, @elmo tweeted to check in on people: “Elmo is just checking in! How is everybody doing?”
And people responded — in fact, over 17,000 answered Elmo.
Some responses were funny, like this one (from the Detroit Free Press, on the heels of the loss by the @detroitlionsnfl in the NFL playoffs: “We’ve been better, Elmo”). But many were serious, sharing that they had just been laid off, or that they were depressed. All in all, it was a good reminder to check in on those you love.
If Elmo can do it, so can we.
Though I mostly watched the commercials, I did manage to catch enough of the game to see that @patrickmahomes was amazing — there’s no bigger stage in which it’s harder to quiet the noise, focus and perform. Congratulations to the Kansas City @Chiefs on their Super Bowl win!
Thank you to @deanbaccarelli and the brilliant environmental health faculty – Kari Nadeau, Joseph Allen, Gaurab Basu, and Caleb Dresser MD MPH – from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, for joining me for an evening of inspiring conversation at my home in New York.
What I love about the School, which came through so clearly during the evening, is their commitment not just to cutting-edge research but to translating that research into action that can make a real difference in people’s lives.
Dr. Joe Allen, who’s the founder of the Healthy Buildings Program at @harvardchansph, spoke about how important to our health is indoor air quality and how deeply connected it is to outdoor air quality — something that’s never been more relevant when climate change, wildfires, and heat waves are impacting air quality around the world. So if your building has a HVAC filter, that’s a good thing.
As Dr. Allen put it, “Buildings are critical to our health — your building manager may have more impact on your health outcomes than your doctor.” The spirit of the evening was summed up by Dr. Gaurab Basu: “Health is about seeing people’s humanity, about taking care of each other. In order for us to truly be successful in our work, you have to marry science with the human face of this work.”

Last night, composer @chadlawson led the most incredible guided breathing exercise for the @Thrive team at my home 🎶
Take a breath, and enjoy 🙏
Loved being in Indianapolis to connect with @elilillyco employees and have a fireside chat with @jenoleksiw, Global Chief Customer Officer. We talked about the transformative power of AI to both drive better health outcomes by improving daily behaviors and also help us connect to something larger than ourselves. One of Lilly’s core concepts is about helping people “get better.” And by hyper-personalizing behavior change, AI can help us get better by making it easier to adopt better and healthier daily habits around sleep, food, movement, stress management and connection.
There is, of course, a lot of overlap between the science of behavior change and the science of business performance. To tap into our creativity, connect with others at scale, and embrace our energy, we first need to take time to recharge. As Lilly CEO @davearicks has written, “In our always-on work world, our bodies and brains don’t get the regular recovery time they need.” So when you take a break, he said, your company, customers and careers will be better for it.
That’s the idea behind Thrive Reset, a 60-second stress intervention tool in the @Thrive Global platform based on the neuroscience of moving people from the sympathetic to the parasympathetic nervous system. It illustrates the philosophy of Microsteps, how stress is unavoidable, and how we can avoid cumulative stress in 60 seconds — and it’s a tool that will become even more powerful if personalized with AI. I loved sharing my personal Reset and it was moving to see Jen’s, with photos of her family, her favorite quotes and music.
And had such a wonderful dinner at the Indianapolis classic @stelmosteakhouse (loved the shrimp cocktail!) with Jen, Patrik Jönsson, EVP & President of Lilly Diabetes & Obesity, Frank Cunningham, Group VP of Value and Access & Lilly Direct, Margaret “Libby” Driscoll, SVP of Global Commercial Capabilities and Innovation, Julio Gay-Ger, SVP & CMO of Lilly Diabetes, Laurie Kowalevsky, SVP of US Consumer Experience Hub, Ben Basil, SVP, Global Customer Office, and Brent Danner, Associate VP of Value and Access.
