It’s official, friends.

My book has a release date: June 29, 2027.

This book is about what it takes to separate who you are from what you do. About decoupling your identity from your title so that your work can support your life instead of becoming the place you go to prove your worth. It asks what it means to live unenmeshed. To use your career as a tool for building a life, rather than allowing it to become the thing that defines you.

It is especially meaningful to me because I’ve lived it.

But can I be honest with you about something?

This journey has been so hard.
