Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.

- John Dewey

My mission for writing is to help you navigate life’s biggest changes.

I do that by reflecting on big changes in my life, and sharing tools, tips, science, and stories to help you with changes in yours.

I’ve experienced (or am experiencing now):

  • Starting a business

  • Leaving a job

  • Starting a new career in my 30s

  • Getting married

  • Having children

  • Changing my major multiple times

  • Losing a loved one

  • Getting healthy

  • Overcoming shyness

Through it all, I returned to certain principles and practices again and again.

Why? Because they’ve helped me grow through changes I’ve chosen, and deal with the unexpected curve balls life has thrown me.

That said, some changes don’t call for growth, but demand we survive. What then?

As you can see, there are limitless topics and sub-topics to explore here, and I’m excited for you to come along.
