The problem with “love yourself first”
Everyone says it. Love yourself first. Fill your own cup. And for years, I said nothing. But I’ve been thinking about this since Valentine’s Day — and I think it’s time to say the thing I’ve been sitting on for twenty years. There is a problem with “love yourself first”. It started with a book. […]
What your 3am wake-ups are actually trying to tell you
You wake up at 3am. Heart racing. Mind looping. That familiar dread sitting on your chest. Here’s what I’ve noticed after years of working with accomplished people who struggle with sleep: the 3am wake-ups aren’t actually a sleep problem.

When self-care becomes another thing to fail at
You know what you’re supposed to do. Meditate. Journal. Morning routine. Yoga. Breathwork. Gratitude practice. Get to bed earlier. Drink more water. Move your body.

The Uncomfortable Truth About Staying Relevant (That Nobody Admits)
Last week, we talked about why panic isn’t the answer to AI disruption—and why personal agency matters now more than ever. Since then, I’ve had some heartfelt conversations with clients and friends. Behind the headlines, what I’m hearing is something more human: quiet worry, curiosity, a longing to feel prepared. So this week, let’s keep […]
Is AI Making You Feel Left Behind?
Last Saturday, a friend WhatsApped me an article: “Graduates have been mis-sold a promise—AI is stealing entry-level jobs.” His accompanying comment: “This is a bit concerning.” And honestly? It is. A few days later I read in Peter Diamandis’ newsletter. Anthropic’s CEO predicts that within five years half of all entry-level white-collar roles could vanish. […]
