You Don’t Have to Do Everything Today (opens the original)
Read excerpt
, thank you for being here!I have been writing about life for close to 5 years now. Over the last 5 years, I’ve written about routines, balance, reducing screen time, finding joy, letting go of guilt around rest, and many other ideas rooted in living a more intentional life.Everything I share comes from personal experience or from experiences I’ve witnessed closely. But I must admit, I don’t always manage to follow my own advice.I write about rest. But sometimes I fail to slow down when I know I
Failures That Didn’t Make It To My Resume (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I must admit, I did not join LinkedIn by choice. It was a gruesome night in 2020; I was 20, sitting in my room wondering what I wanted to do in my life.

We’re taught that to pursue one, we must give up the other.We’ve been told this story so often since we were young that we eventually stopped questioning it. It became something we carried deep within us. Constant hustle became the norm. Taking days off ‘just because’ became rare. Every minute spent not doing something productive started invit
Welcome To The Unwind Circle! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hi all,This letter took two years to reach your inbox. I have spent the last four years building Unwind from something that didn’t exist into a space where I could slow down, think clearly and make sense of life. I knew that I wasn’t alone in feeling that the idea of life handed over to us as kids went beyond chasing a title and delaying gratification. It was about defining our own version of success, embracing peace and living intentionally in a world filled with noise. Unwind was my dream at 1
