Coming Spring 2025NEW BOOK
If you're someone who loves your work but wants it to come at less of a cost, you know there aren't many conversations happening in the space between burnout and booked up. Balance has been called out as B.S., yet we still crave a playbook for moving through the world. In my forthcoming book, I Don't See It, I share what it looks like to outgrow your goals, quit, and change direction, even (and especially when) there's no model of success to point to.
CHOOSING A WINDING PATH IN A WORLD OBSESSED WITH HAVING IT FIGURED OUT
I DON’T SEE IT
We’re scared to admit we don’t know what’s next. Of slowing down. Entertaining what might happen if we pause. That’s because we’ve been applauded our whole lives for having a plan, reaching it, and immediately aiming higher. And we’re exhausted.
In our final days, we aren’t reflecting on KPIs or bonuses. But we sure do spend a lot of our life obsessing over them. And while money is a requirement of life, how much is enough—a point where we can offer ourselves permission to coast or even step off the treadmill and meander a while?
So what would it take to live without a 5-year plan?
So what would it take to live without a 5-year plan? To try multiple careers instead of a single path? To define our worthiness by our personal satisfaction rather than traditional markers of success?
These are the questions I explore as I reflect on my own portfolio career and begin to question the validity of a tightly scheduled life. I Don’t See It is about change—what stirs the desire within us, how we confront the unknown future, and what it takes to make the decision to move towards your excitement. It’s about normalizing transition periods that are frequent and necessary for high-achievers and the importance of knowing yourself well enough to not be swayed by public opinion on your life.
