My puppy, "helping" me in the garden
You are generous, kind, and transparent. I'm grateful to be able to spend this summer writing about what matters to you! You shared stories, thoughts, and the things keeping you up at night. Here is a short list of what you said so you know you're not alone:
- life balance
- the intense job market
- how to design the next phase of life (ie retirement)
- AI
- self care
- caretaking like aging parents
- too many emails
- your mindset around money
- family drama
And overwhelmingly, you wrote about your distress over the state of the world and our country. Many of you lie awake at night worried about the cost of gas, groceries, the job market, climate change, and the feeling that humans have stopped caring about each other.
All of these subjects share common themes, like change, living with uncertainty, managing fear, trusting life and yourself, and sustaining hope as a way of life.
I'll tell you up front: I am hopeful. I believe in the power of human ingenuity, resilience, and care.
I will be writing about all these things. Stay tuned.
Love to all of you, and thank you!
