Bring Your Truth to Work
I worked in corporate sales for 20 years. At Polycom, it was the end of the quarter, and what mattered more than anything was meeting my number — even at the cost of the client’s well-being. I felt dirty. Numbers mattered. Image mattered. But inside, I felt hollow — like a puppet going through the motions.
Challenging Times
We Can Do Hard Things (And We Don’t Have to Do Them Alone)
I haven’t written in two months—and it’s been a season.
My daughter had double jaw surgery, followed by an emergency procedure for a rare infection. My partner had heart surgery. In between: a sick dog, a broken tooth, failing appliances, major car repairs, and the discovery of mold and termites in our downstairs room.
And still—here I am, back at my desk, showing up to my work.
What I’ve learned is still unfolding, but I want to share what’s clear—especially for anyone navigating their own version of overwhelm, uncertainty, or burnout in work or life.
Because these lessons—about capacity, intuition, and receiving support—aren’t just personal.
They are deeply professional.
