Oof. This was my favorite line: "I was trying so hard to look sexy. But really, I just look sad, lost, and in for a hell of a decade."

If the world is being rebuilt, your approach to career and life has to be rebuilt too.

✨Helpful for 9-5ers, multipassionates, portfolio careers, job hoppers, soloprenuers - who are in the thick of creating and surviving while systems collapse. ✨

Funny retelling of a childhood story about stars and why they went away from the ground to the sky

Anyone looking for a light fun read will love the story

I don't know if it's just the plot that you've sketched out--a spouse dying of cancer, a possible infidelity--or something about the dialogue or my own sense of being pleasantly lost, but this reminds me a bit of Ti Amo by Hanne Ørstavik!

Which is to say, I really liked this chapter!

A short story for the animal lovers, the ones who remember, the ones who want change as well as a way back to our roots.

Tarot as a framework for answering questions posed by other writers. This essay looks at career and values questions.

Topic: emotions as a path to heal rather than a burden.

For any deeply sensitive soul who's been told they were "too much":
