Momentum, Unplanned (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every Sunday this quarter, I wrote Momentum in my planner, the same way I did in Q1 and Q2. I felt Momentum in July and early August. It just wasn’t the version I expected. I thought the summer would be busy with work, full of project pivots and deadlines. Instead, Momentum showed up as Substack sports punditry, art exhibits, chamber music, book clubs, and more fun than I realized I was having at the time.<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!
The Quiet Ascent (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Judgment is the quietest form of career capital, and the one that changes everything once you have it.Michael Polanyi wrote that we know more than we can tell. Judgment lives in that space: the tacit layer of experience that becomes visible only through action. It’s not a skill, not a credential, not a relationship. It’s the part of your work that emerges slowly, almost imperceptibly, until one day you realize you’re making decisions from a deeper place than you used to.<a class="image-link imag
Coach, We Found a Bass in Sector B‑41 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I grew up on a small lake, the kind of lake where bream hovered under the dock and periodically on Sunday afternoons my sister, Dad, and I went fishing. This was entirely before leash laws, and the cats and dogs used to wander down with us, settling in the grass like they were part of the outing. The blue laws were still in effect, so there wasn’t much else to do on Sunday afternoons.<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!mLVi!,f_auto,q_auto:go
Silver for Women Who Actually Used It (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I once read an essay — in the old House & Garden, back when it still wrote for women who lived with their thing — about silver and the strange fate of ornate bridal‑registry patterns. The author described the brides who registered for Francis I and Grand Baroque, all scrolls and repoussé, and then never used them. Too fussy for weeknights. Too formal for modern holidays. Too heavy to polish. Silver chosen for the wedding album, not the table.<div class
Network (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I didn’t start out thinking much about networking. Early in my career, I went to conferences for the content, not the people. I stayed in my usual rooms without realizing it. It wasn’t until I was laid off ten years ago that I began to understand what a network actually is — not a set of contacts, but a shift in perspective. A hallway that opens when your old vantage point stops working. And clarity is what lets you recognize that you’ve stepped into a different room.<a class="image-link image2
