sometimes we forget we can explore the little things in life to get through the hard ones.

i have often used these three words when i dissociate in the middle of telling a story. i say "it's funny because..." in hopes of remembering what i was about to say. i usually don't remember. it's a strong signal for me that i have too much on my mind and need to slow down.

i wanted to share that with you because it feels more aligned with who i am…

…so who are you? i’m*:

• a lover 

• an ambivert 

• a self-doubter

• a master of none

• a linkedin fanatic

• guilty of caring too much

• a self-pessimist yet external-optimist

*including but not limited to

why pay for my substack?

because i want to dive deep into my topics and find real gems to help us navigate this world together. i am guilty of frequently undervaluing myself, this is me working towards not doing that anymore (you should too by the way).

my lovely logo is designed by london’s own @homejab. i wanted it to represent a hug. the comfort of lying in the grass with a book and the sun beating down on you in the summer.
