Hey everyone šš¼
Welcome back to A Day in the Life. If you're new here, or havenāt been with me since the beginning of this Substack journey, let me say: I'm so glad you're here!
I started this whole thing to reveal the behind-the-scenes. The real life, the unfiltered stuff. Not just polished advice or curated aesthetic momentsābut the messy, in-between, full-body experience of what it means to survive and show up in a world on fire.
I'm a career clarity coach, yes. But I'm also a solopreneur, a government contractor, and someone working at the intersection of nonprofit, government, and corporate development. And right now, I'm navigating all of that while the systems around us crumbleāand while still trying to walk in integrity, practice what I preach, and stay grounded in something bigger.
Lately, Iāve been thinking a lot about the foundations: why I started, how I'm surviving, and what it means to keep choosing self-trust in the face of structural collapse.
I grew up reading The Hunger Games, 1984, and Animal Farm. I share a birthday with George Orwell.
June 25.
Dystopia is kind of in my DNAāan intuitive understanding that structures can be beautiful and violent at once, that survival takes scaffolding, that systems can both support and suffocate.
