These words. This has been my go to quote for years. Each time I’m suffering I reach for these words like the warm sage wisdom of my elders. I wrap myself in them, comforted by the truth that life is meant to be lived in all dimensions. The joy. The suffering. The loss and the profound. All of it. Even … Read More

Working remotely has been a game-changer for me. Balancing a busy life with two kids, it’s given me the autonomy and flexibility I need to make it all work. But let’s be real, remote work has its challenges too. Social isolation and blurred boundaries can take a toll.

Seasons. Sometimes I need to take my own advice. Because I’m in a transition too. After decades of working (to some degree or another) in corporate Canada, I’m learning out of the rat race and into my own space. I’m excited. And kinda terrified too. Transitions can be scary.
