The Practice of Beginning Again
A long flight, a retreat I didn't have to produce, and a quiet question about what it means to keep learning in midlife. On shoshin, layoffs, AI, and the discipline of meeting our lives, and the people we love, as if for the first time.
Imposter Syndrome
A conference room, a contract, and a familiar voice asking who I think I am. Imposter syndrome does not disappear at the edge of expansion. It meets us there, asking whether we will shrink back or name our worth anyway.
Perimeno-PAUSED
A midlife pause at the edge of sanity, where burnout ends, clarity begins, and we get to choose purpose over perfection.
