Tell us a little something about your business...

Connecting is as natural to me as breathing.
Over time, as I met so many people on my personal and professional journey, I discovered a passion for creating opportunities for others. I love connecting people who would thrive together, whether as friends, synergistic partners, or collaborators in business—providers and customers or invaluable resources to one another. However, the most profound part of this journey was deepening my connection to my kids and, ultimately, myself.
As a parent, I understand the challenges of meaningful communication in a digital age. In my books Text Messages to My Sons: A Guide to Using Mobile Devices to Connect and Communicate Deeply With Your Kids and the first edition, Text Messages to MY Sons: Connecting Deeply In A World of Devices, I guide parents in using mobile devices not as distractions but as bridges to more profound, heartfelt relationships with their children. Connection, after all, starts at home.
Through Women Beyond the Table, I create a space where women business owners unite to accelerate their professional success and personal growth. This is more than a community; it’s a network built on shared experiences, mutual empowerment, and an incredible value proposition that transforms ambition into action. Here, women elevate one another, discovering that success is most meaningful when shared.
At TC Brand Consulting, I help business owners connect to the essence of their purpose—their mission, vision, and core values—and express it through authentic messaging. Together, we craft narratives that resonate, build trust, and inspire. Connection isn’t just about marketing; it’s about aligning who you are with how you show up.
On the Women Beyond the Table: Beyond the Table Podcast, I bring to life the powerful stories of women who have faced challenges, embraced resilience, and achieved remarkable growth. These stories are meant to inspire and connect listeners with the boundless potential of the human spirit.
Following the connection theme,
I am blessed to own Eighteen Restaurant, a beloved spot on the Upper East Side where my husband Sidney and I connect with guests and friends over delicious meals and warm hospitality.

When was your lightbulb moment?

When everything shut down at the beginning of the pandemic, I had the time to take stock of myself.  I realized I was not very happy and needed to figure things out.  Suddenly, there was all this time to go inside and look into my mindset, and I did not like what I saw.  So, I began to immerse myself in programs, coursework, and seminars, learning how the mind is wired and works.  I was learning about the effects of thoughts and beliefs. I was learning how much of what we believe comes into being at a very young age.   It was a very enlightening time for me.  I was reading books written by visionaries and leaders. My AHA moment happened when I was able to see possibilities and opportunities, which resulted in 1) Transitioning my consulting business from a sole proprietorship to an LLC: TB Brand Consulting,  2) Organizing the very first Women Beyond the Table Virtual Call in January 2021, and 3) In March 2021, I started messaging my kids, love, inspiration, accountability, gratitude, and knowledge every day.  I did not have any thoughts of becoming an author. Only when friends and colleagues urged me to compile the messages into a book. My first book was published in October 2023.

What are your three words of advice?

Focus: Don’t let the many pings and distractions dictate your day. Map the three things you want to accomplish daily and take one step at a time. The first step motivates the next step.
Collaborate: Do not come from a place of competition and comparison. Know your strengths and join forces with others who can bring their strengths to the table.
Learn: We do not know everything; you are done the day you think you do. Listen to your team and continue to grow.
