I recently learned the Japanese word yutori. It means spaciousness or having room to breathe.

Humans hate being bored. It feels like wasted time. When a gap appears in our day, the natural reflex is to reach for our phones.

Every year, I choose a word to act as a compass for my decisions and actions. For 2026, that word is strength.

I was working with a coaching client recently who was struggling with the size of their to-do list. They were overwhelmed and couldn’t see a way to get to the bottom of it.

Journalling isn’t one thing.

"In today’s culture, responsiveness is a proxy for care."

It’s time to focus. What do you do first?

Do you ever find yourself watching a big screen while scrolling on a little one?

500 days without booze. Done.

Has anyone ever told you that "feedback is a gift"?

"A monster hiding in the dark will never be as scary once you’ve turned on the light."

We often think about boundaries in terms of what to say no to. But there’s another way to frame it.

Have you heard of the "30-minute ick factor"?

If you want to start a new healthy habit, how often should you commit to doing it? How about daily-ish?
