  • Grief and Continuance: What My Dog Taught Me About Moving On
    Dec 26 2025

    In this episode, I reflect on grief, not as something to overcome, but something to carry. Through the story of my dog, my hair, and a period of quiet depression, I try to understand what it means to sit with loss without letting it consume you.

    This is a meditation on heartbreak, identity, and the strange lessons that arrive when comfort doesn’t show up the way we expect it to. Sometimes, the world doesn’t abandon us, it simply steps outside and waits.

    If this left you with a question, write to me.
    If it makes you remember someone, go for a walk toward that memory, and then write to me.

  • The Poison Tree: On Discipline, Rot, and Renewal
    Nov 13 2025

    In this episode, I offer you an exercise, a lens through which you might see yourself more clearly. Imagine your life as a garden. Every relationship, every decision, every path, a flower, a seed, a patch of earth tended by your own hands. But what happens when what you’ve grown begins to rot?

    The Poison Tree explores the slow, unseen decay that hides beneath our progress . The habits, the patterns, the quiet poisons that shape our lives. Through the story of a gardener, it invites you to reflect on the balance between grace and violence: grace for the flowers, and violence for the weeds.

    💭 What is your poison tree?

    If this leaves you with a question, write to me.
    If it makes you remember someone, walk toward that memory, then write to me.

    The Noise of Ideas Kills Your Productivity

    Ever fallen in love with the start of an idea only to realize minutes later you’re lost in your own noise? In this episode, I reflect on why ideas so often derail us, when they stop being about the work and start becoming about us.

    This is a reminder to see when the loudest idea takes over who you are.
