Kicking Off 2026 with Inspiring Stories

January has arrived with momentum, and I couldn't be more excited about how this year of storytelling is beginning to unfold.

This month, I had the privilege of interviewing two remarkable local leaders for Middleburg Life: Lucy Zimmerman, CFP®, CDFA® of Buttonwood Wealth, and Bryan Courtney of Goodstone Inn & Restaurant. Both conversations offered thoughtful insights into their work, their leadership philosophies, and what drives them to make a meaningful impact in our community.

These interviews are just the beginning. As I look ahead to 2026, I'm energized by the stories waiting to be told—stories of innovation, resilience, and the people who are building something that matters.

Looking for Your Story Recommendations

One of the things I love most about what I do is discovering the people behind the businesses, the creatives who are quietly changing their industries, and the founders who are building with purpose.

If you know a small business owner, founder, or creative doing meaningful work—whether locally or beyond—I'd love to hear about them. I'm always on the lookout for great stories to tell, and your recommendations help me shine a light on the people who deserve recognition.

Feel free to reach out or send me a message. Let's make 2026 a year of powerful storytelling together.
