I try to treat each guest with honor and reverence
But truth be told I have a preference
For those that make my heart smile and eyes flutter
At others, the idea of welcoming
Makes me shutter

I’ve learned that these, however
Are the ones, at times with violent fervor
Bring the greatest gifts of valor
And offer blessings of the human bind
The kind life ‘lessons’ t…

The amount of posts exclusively about AI and how it’s coming to replace you, needing to future-proof, critical thinking becoming a commodity to be sold back to us, what Palintir’s CEO said, what Sam Altman said - my heart began to race.

For a moment, I felt the fear creep in - I had to put my feet on the ground. Get…

She rounded the final bend — hi-fives from her running club waiting at the finish. She looked at her time. Negative splits — and a final-mile time she hadn’t seen in years.

Each mile was faster than the last — she thought about how her body communicated what it needed each step of the way.

More than anything, fulfillment — for listening. For not overridin…

The temperature was warm with a cool breeze, the sun was shining brightly but everything looked so dim.

She woke up tired yet again and wondered what she could do differently. She looked up and beckoned — something’s gotta give.

She looked forward and continued to get dressed — she prayed that whatever she wasn’t seeing, whatever she was doing wrong, woul…

As one learns to listen to the sensations of the body, presence to one’s feelings and emotions in the moment becomes more accessible. Instead of suppressing, you now feel anger well up like a wave crashing ashore.

How to Use Early Symptoms as a Wake-Up Call.

Hello Creator,

Burnout is often misunderstood as a dead-end, but what if it’s actually a signal for transformation?

In today’s exclusive post, we’ll break down the Pivot Point Framework—a three-stage model to help you recognize when burnout is asking you to shift, not just push through.

What’s Included:

  1. An overview of the Pivot-Point scale and the three phases to assess and look at what recovery may begin to look like

  2. Self-reflection exercises to identify where you are on the Pivot Point scale

  3. A Burnout to Breakthrough Worksheet to map out your next steps (coming Friday)

Ready to turn burnout into your next breakthrough? Use the Pivot Point Framework and start designing your pivot today.

Like many I spent hours watching and rewatching Kendrick’s halftime show decoding the brilliance that is him and Dave Free,

As part of this rabbit hole I gladly journey, I also (very much post game) watched the pre-show interview with Kendrick and the gems dropped…ever so subtly.

The interviewer asked him, in a few different ways, about his journey and …
