Over the years, this space has grown into a living body of work — reflections written in real time and in retrospect, across seasons of change, clarity, disruption, and growth. It now also includes links to my SilverDisobedience® Perception Dynamics™ podcast interviews.
Feel free to scroll or use the search bar to choose a topic that reflects where you are right now and explore at your own pace.
There’s no order required. No finish line. Read or watch whatever meets you where you are.
Essays explore how perception — consciously and unconsciously — shapes experience, decision-making, emotional response and self-trust. They also address timing in life, trade-offs, internal alignment, and the often unspoken pressures behind big choices. Many posts look at how to separate fear, urgency, and outside influence from true readiness. Some tackle awareness of our nervous system, maintaining emotional steadiness, and returning to center — especially during periods of uncertainty, conflict, or fatigue. Plenty examine interpersonal perception, unspoken cues, boundaries, loyalty, projection, and the subtle mechanics of influence — both personal and professional. Others tackle leadership as an internal state, not a title. Topics include presence under scrutiny, decision-making in high-stakes environments, and maintaining integrity while operating in complex systems. I explore personal evolution, self-trust, and the quiet courage required to outgrow old identities — without abandoning yourself in the process. You can also expect to find posts about space for grief, patience, waiting, and the uncomfortable middle — when clarity hasn’t arrived yet, but something is clearly shifting. Basically you’ll find thoughts about the entirety of the human experience.
Enjoy! Thank you for visiting. I hope you find the content valuable. If you ever need to go deeper, I offer private consultations.
