I've been thinking a lot about these 3 topics lately:
Topic #1: Identity Reconstruction
I’ve spent the past few years being known for something deeply personal: co-survivorship, caregiving, and medical trauma. It’s important work, and I’ll continue doing it.
But I’ve also been craving more room.
Room for curiosity, humor, and creativity.
Room for stories that have nothing to do with trauma.
Room for the full version of me, not just the one people met during a crisis.
Over time, I’ve revisited old identities like old clothes. Some still fit. Some never did.
Becoming a co-survivor changed me.
So did parenting.
So did getting an ADHD diagnosis at 40.
So did career pivots that ultimately led to running a business.
I’m learning to integrate past versions of myself without getting stuck in them.
Topic #2: Accidental Entrepreneurship
I’m interested in building a business backward because… well, that’s exactly what happened.
We started with an audience instead of a product, and a message instead of a business plan. We built the plane while flying it backward.
Along the way, we’ve learned a lot about the importance of defining your values, understanding how money flows, and designing systems that protect your time and energy.
We've been reverse-engineering a business model that honors both creativity and capacity, figuring out how to make it sustainable, ethical, and scalable without losing our minds. Probably.
Topic #3: Storytelling for Human Connection
The stories we tell shape our expectations, our systems, and our ability to imagine something better.
Whether it’s a podcast, a keynote, a sketch, or a post, storytelling is how our business connects with people and brings humanity to healthcare.
It’s not just what we do.
It’s how we lead, teach, heal, and build.
And I want to keep learning how to do it better.
