When Your Business No Longer Fits Who You Are, and You’re Tired of Pretending It Does
There comes a moment in every founder’s life when the business you built starts looking at you funny. Not because it’s broken. Not because it failed. But because it no longer recognizes who you are now. And if you’re honest you don’t recognize it either. At first, you try to make it work. You tweak the copy. You add an offer. You convince yourself you’re just “in a funk.” You say things like, “I should be grateful” and “This is still good.” You keep showing up out of habit, o

Black Women and the Politics of Looking Put Together
There is a particular kind of pressure Black women grow up with that doesn’t get talked about nearly enough: the unspoken rule that we must always look put together. Not just cute. Not just presentable. Put together in a way that signals respectability, competence, and “don’t play with me.” We learn early that how we look is never neutral. Our hair, our makeup, our clothes, our posture; all of it gets read, interpreted, and judged before we ever open our mouths. So somewhere

The Anxiety of Being Too Informed: The Cost of Always Being Aware
Somewhere along the way, being informed turned into a full-time emotional job. We were told that knowing more would make us better citizens, better people, more responsible adults. And listen, I believe in awareness. I believe in paying attention. I believe in not pretending everything is fine when it very clearly is not. But nobody told us about the side effects. Nobody warned us that being “in the know” would come with a constant low-grade anxiety that hums under everything

Finding Your Voice Again (Yes, You’re Allowed to Sound Different Now)
There’s a moment that arrives quietly but insists on being noticed. You open your mouth to speak or write, or respond, or explain and suddenly the words that used to come easily don’t quite fit anymore. Not because you’ve lost your voice, but because you’ve outgrown the version of it you were using. Welcome to a new season. Finding your voice again isn’t about reinvention for the sake of drama. It’s about recognition. It’s realizing that the way you used to show up, explain y

Quiet Confidence: The Strength That Comes From Self-Trust, Not Performance
Quiet confidence rarely announces itself. It doesn’t demand attention or arrive with a list of credentials. It doesn’t explain its worth or compete for validation. Instead, it moves steadily, rooted in self-trust and shaped by experience rather than approval. Quiet confidence is what develops when you no longer need to prove who you are. For many of us, confidence was once something external. It came from affirmation, productivity, praise, or being visibly “chosen.” We learne

Truth Under Pressure: What They Don’t Want Shown - The 60 Minutes Segment Trump and CBS News Executives Are Trying to Suppress
I want to speak carefully here, not to provoke, but to bear witness. Recently, a segment aired showing the realities of ICE operations; footage that documented harm, fear, and human cost in ways that are difficult to unsee. I watched it before it was removed, and what stayed with me wasn’t shock for shock’s sake, but the quiet clarity that comes when systems are observed up close. When images like these are suppressed, it’s often framed as discretion or caution, but it’s wort

Saying Less, Meaning More: Choosing Presence Over Explanation in Your Next Chapter
There comes a point in life when you realize how much energy you’ve spent explaining yourself. Explaining your choices. Explaining your boundaries. Explaining why something no longer fits. Explaining who you’re becoming to people who still see you as who you were. At first, it feels necessary—polite, even. You want to be understood. You want to be fair. You want to soften the edges of your growth so it doesn’t feel threatening or confusing to anyone else. But over time, somet

The Difference Between Rest and Avoidance - And Why Knowing Matters in Seasons of Growth
Rest and avoidance can look deceptively similar on the surface. Both can sound like canceling plans. Both can look like stepping back. Both can feel like pausing, slowing down, or choosing not to engage. But internally, they come from very different places. Learning to tell the difference between the two is one of the quiet skills that growth requires; especially in seasons where you’re tired, evolving, or reassessing who you are and how you move through the world. Rest Comes

Reinvention Is Not Failure - It’s Alignment When the Old Version No Longer Fits
We’re taught to admire consistency. To pick a path, stick to it, and prove our commitment by never changing course. But no one tells you what happens when the version of you who made those decisions no longer exists. Reinvention is often framed as something dramatic; a breakdown, a rebirth, a total life overhaul. But more often, it’s quieter than that. It starts as a feeling you can’t quite name. A restlessness. A sense that what once fit now feels tight. A knowing that you’r
