We don’t need more hustle. We need more humanity.
The systems we’ve trusted are cracking, and that’s not collapse, it’s compost. What’s breaking down are the old ways of leading from fear—fear of slowing down, fear of being replaced, fear of being human. What’s emerging is a different kind of leadership, one rooted in clarity, authenticity, recognition, and empathy.
The Hard Work of Being Human
I’m writing this from bed.
My sleep has been disrupted lately, part of the shifts that come with perimenopause. I woke up already tired, carrying both exhaustion and hope. I’m an entrepreneur striving to cultivate a culture of care in a world where fear has infiltrated so many hearts. My savings account is thinning, and some days that reality feels louder than my faith.
The Gift of Clarity
For most of my life, I thought clarity was about decisions. Now I understand it’s about honesty and it’s about having the courage to see yourself clearly without filters, distractions, or performance.
