Most people live in constant pursuit, chasing a life, a fantasy, or something outside themselves, so much that they forget what makes them come alive and lose sight of what truly matters.

The Skill We're Losing Without Realizing It (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I had the most interesting conversation with my Uber driver the other day. It started with Waymo, moved into AI taking people's jobs, and eventually became a conversation about what happens when the world changes faster than we're prepared for. I think we spend so much time trying to predict what's coming next that we forget to build the thing that might matter even more: our ability to adapt when we're wrong. It made me think about comfort. Convenience. Risk. Being a beginner.. and all the litt
The Wrong Steak (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I ate a steak I didn't order this week.. and somehow that turned into a very clear look at one of my own patterns. It's funny how the smallest moments can show you exactly where you're getting in your own way.

Read excerpt

The other is the boss-babe world that gives women a model for burnout and call it ambition. The most effective women I know are neither.

The Good Soldier (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I always pictured the top of the mountain feeling different than it did. What I got was standing at the summit of the only thing I'd ever trained for, at nineteen, looking down and thinking, this is not it.. and somehow, in some strange way.. it turned out to be the most important thing that had ever happened to me. I'm bringing you into the years I spent doing everything right. This is an episode about the Good Soldier.. because maybe, like me - you followed all the rules, collected the papers,
