Reset is not a vibe. It is a process. I chose reset as my word for 2026. Not because I needed a fresh start aesthetic or something to put in a caption. But because something had to change, and I knew it, and I needed to make that commitment concrete….
Avoidance is not neutral. Delayed decisions compound. There is a decision you have been sitting on. Maybe more than one. You know what it is. It is the conversation you have been meaning to have with a client whose relationship has run its course. The hire you keep almost making…

The difference between being productive and just occupied. I used to wear busy like a trophy. If someone asked how things were going, ‘busy’ was practically a reflex. It signaled momentum. It meant the business was alive, that people needed me, that I was doing something. It felt like proof….
