Slowing Down at High Speed (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Has September been the most firehorse month of the year, or is it just me? These past weeks have really been a test of resilience for me personally, what a rollercoaster! While everyone is talking about the fresh wind and new energy that often comes at this time of year, I feel I’m just trying to keep my shit together. Since July, I’ve been mentally living about 2-4 weeks ahead of schedule, working towards deadlines and counting down milestones. It’s felt like river rafting at high speed, trying
In Two Minds... This Is a Personal One (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A little over a week ago I had a miscarriage. It was an early one yet, as I’ve learned, that doesn’t matter. The grief, of a life already imagined, is there.

Yet thousands of people had followed along without questioning it.That story has been stuck in my mind.Not (just) because it’s a scary new reality, but beca
What comes after clarity? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The first time I really noticed a shift was during our summer vacation last month. I had deliberately fully taken time off work – a first – with a plan of doing exactly nothing. We stayed at a beautiful hotel resort, and the daily decision-making came down to: pool or beach? Ice cream or affogato? Most days, I decided on both.Typically, when I slow down, my mind gets louder. Taking a step back (from work), restarts a different kind of thinking. Space for words and inspiration. Not this time. I o
