Some Days, We Do Hard Things

As Glennon Doyle so brilliantly says, “We can do hard things.” But…how? And, there are so many hard things. Having the hard conversation. Making the tough decision. Deciding on your next career move. Navigating a challenging health or relationship situation. Not knowing how any of it will go. …

Some Days, We (Over) Check Ourselves

Ice Cube taught us that we need to check ourselves before we wreck ourselves. And, certainly, I’m a proponent of intentionality, thoughtfulness and self-reflection. But, how much checking is too much checking? Can you also wreck yourself by over checking yourself? It shows up time and again in our professional…

Some Days, We Are Reborn

Each year at this time, as the birds start to chirp and the cherry blossoms burst in the cool spring skyline, I am taken with the metaphor of rebirth. For as long as I can remember, and most certainly since I was old enough to yearn for something more, this…

Some Days, We Just AIM

Humaning is hard. There are so many layers of humaning. Many break your heart. Racial and social injustice. Inequity, systemic and otherwise. War. Violence. Illness. Pain. Loss. Disappointment.

Some Days, You Need to Retreat

For a long time in my career, I struggled to take vacation and to truly unplug if I did. I thrive on productivity and it always felt impossible to really step away. I remember the first time I read about unplugging being pro-productivity. And, pro lots of other things, including…

Some Days, We Get Out Over Our Skis

I took up skiing later in life…once I was already indoctrinated in the legal school of risk aversion. At this point, for better or worse, it is second nature for me to think through all of the things that could possibly go wrong or present challenges and develop solutions for…

Some Days, It Breaks You

Have you ever had those days, weeks, months, years where it feels like it just breaks you? I know, the canned response is “Don’t worry. It won’t break you.” I have a different perspective for you to consider. What if breaking is necessary? …

Some Days, There’s So Much I Want to Say

Have you ever had a situation where the emotion or the practicality and tacticality take up all the space, leaving no room for the words that want to spring forth? Or, perhaps, etiquette dictates one does not express such things in such moments? Maybe there’s just too much to say…

Some Days, Everything Changes

There are seasons in life. And every season has a start and an end. Though, maybe not as much an end as a connection to a broader evolution. The leaves begin to fall in subtle glimmers of gold, ruby and amber, then you look a few weeks later and the…

Some Days, We Have Déjà Vu

“I can’t believe we’re here again.” The refrain resounding among friends and colleagues, round the country and the world, as the Omicron variant jolts us all into this latest phase of the pandemic we’ve been struggling to navigate for the last two years. Right when so many felt like things…
