Sometimes “what’s next?” creates more pressure than clarity. In this week’s article, I explore why softer, more revealing questions can help you reconnect with yourself—and make decisions you’ll feel proud of.

Even before the renovations, the retreat, and this RV trip, the real growth was happening where no one could see it. This is a story about invisible work, growing capacity, and what matters most when things don’t go as planned.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how relationships shape our growth especially during seasons of change. This piece explores what it means to redefine success through intentional connection, the evolution of friendship, and how making space for new relationships can open the door to something even better.

Lately, I’ve been hearing a familiar theme: “I should be grateful… but something feels off.”
This post is about the quiet ache underneath a good life—the kind we don’t always name, but feel. You can be grateful and still long for more. You can be surrounded by people and still feel unseen. And naming that doesn’t make you selfish—it makes you honest. What does it means to hold that tension—gratitude in one hand, longing in the other—and how we start listening to what that ache is trying to tell us?

Are you standing at the door of your life?

I watched a client’s skydiving video today. As she stood at the open door of the plane, looking out into the unknown, fear and excitement mixed on her face. And then, she jumped.

It made me think: how often do we stand at the edge of our own lives, dreaming and planning, but never taking that leap?

Life doesn’t happen in the planning.
It happens in the doing.

We don’t need to be fearless. We just need to make one brave move. The life you’re waiting for isn’t out there someday — it’s right here, on the other side of a decision to live fully awake.

One morning, just before sunrise, I had a realization: I felt energized—not in a caffeine-fueled, push-through way, but in a grounded, rested, truly okay way. It caught me off guard. What had changed?

I’ve been learning how to hold emotional boundaries more gently but firmly. I’m practicing not carrying what isn’t mine—other people’s moods, their stress, their expectations. And it’s paying off.

In this post, I’m sharing what that shift looks like in real time. Not perfectly, but honestly. Because maybe the tiredness we feel isn’t always about how much we’re doing—but about how much we’re carrying.

Have you ever felt like something is missing, even when life is good?

Maybe you have stability, success, even purpose—but there’s still a feeling of flatness. That’s where psychological richness comes in.

This kind of life isn’t just about being happy or having meaning. It’s about deep experiences, shifting perspectives, and stepping into the unknown. It’s about saying yes to the unexpected.

The best part? You don’t have to get anything to start living this way. It’s already available to you—you just have to notice the opportunities, question the status quo, and be open to new experiences.

Lately, everything feels a little heavier. Like there's a miasma in the air, making it harder to see the way forward. I felt it too last week.

The hardest part of discouragement is that it convinces you that you have no control. But listening to your inner voice is an act of agency. It’s how you take back your power, one small choice at a time.

What if transformation isn’t about leaving the past behind but about rediscovering the best parts of yourself? A renaissance moment is a return—a chance to reconnect with the pieces of you that once brought joy, curiosity, and confidence. The next chapter isn’t a goodbye; it’s a welcome back.

"One day when..."

We tell ourselves we’ll start when life slows down, when we have more time, when we feel ready. But what if waiting is the very thing keeping us stuck?

What if one small choice today could change everything?

Grace has many meanings, but today, let’s focus on the grace we offer to others and ourselves—'courteous goodwill.' In moments of frustration, what if we paused and asked, "What am I missing?" This small shift can foster empathy and connection, reminding us that everyone is fighting unseen battles. Choosing grace helps us navigate life with kindness and understanding.
