F Words

Some people chase headlines, highlight reels, or hustle so hard they forget what they were hustling for. But there’s a different kind of power. The kind that doesn’t need to shout. The kind that is focused, fruitful, and faithful.

That’s the energy I’m walking in now.

Focused, not busy or scattered, not everything to everyone energy. Just clear, deliberate moves in the direction of what matters.

Fruitful, not just productive, but purposeful. My work means something because it’s aligned, because it ripples, because it lasts.

Faithful, to my values, my calling, my process, and the people I serve. Because results matter, but so does how you got there.

We are in the season of staying focused, faithful, and fruitful. Stay in position.

If you are out of position, I am not going to waste any more time helping you get where you need to be because I’m out here getting me where I need to be. I’m not doubling back to drag folks into alignment when I’ve barely got time to keep myself aligned.

If you keep wandering, shifting, or ghosting your purpose that’s your business. I’m done wasting energy helping people get in position when I’m finally solid in mine.

I’ll help you grow. We can walk together. But this is a partnership, not a piggyback. You’ve got to want it too.

Because distraction loves company, and sometimes the people pulling you off course don’t need your help, they need your energy. And if it costs me my clarity, it’s too expensive.

I’ve been planting seeds, showing up, staying grounded even when the progress was slow. I’m not about to trade that for someone else’s chaos.

Not everything that looks good will grow good fruit. So I’m protecting my harvest, and that means not everyone gets a seat at this table just because they’re hungry.

I’m not being cold. I’m being called.

I’ve worked too hard to lose momentum trying to get folks back in position when they weren’t willing to stay in it.

If you’re ready, I’ll meet you in purpose. But if you’re out of position, I wish you well. I’m just not circling back anymore.

Focused. Faithful. Fruitful. Forward.

Hit the Damn Reset Button. Your Brain is Begging You To

Let’s get real for a minute we are not robots. We are not meant to grind for eight plus hours a day, five days a week, fueled by caffeine and denial, pretending Teams notifications aren’t slowly eating our souls. Yet here we are burnt out, over-meetinged, and holding it together with the classic “Sorry, I was on mute.”  Newsflash : it is not fine. Think of it like restarting your Wi-Fi when the connection sucks. You don’t just keep hitting refresh you unplug it, wait ten seconds, and let it reboot. Your brain needs the same damn courtesy.  You are not broken you are just overdue for a mental reset. And what the hell is a mental reset, anyway? It’s not a vacation (though those help). It’s not quitting your job in a blaze of glory (tempting, I know). A mental reset is a pause.. short or long…that gives your brain room to breathe, stretch, and stop spiraling into existential dread every time someone says, “Quick question…”  Let’s blame hustle culture for making breaks feel l...

Expectation Bomb

I want to talk about the expectation bomb. Do you know it? Clearly stated, uncommunicated expectations are pre planned resentments. (say it again for the people in the back)  And if you are clutching your pearls at that, you are probably the one who needed to hear it. We have all been there, seething quietly because someone should have known what we needed, expected, or assumed was obvious. But guess what? They did not know. People are not mind readers. They are just trying to survive their own calendar full of back to back Teams meetings, a hundred unread emails, and Susan from comp asking just one quick thing. Here is the truth, expecting people to magically meet standards you never actually told them about is a recipe for disaster. And it is not just annoying; it is toxic. It is workplace sabotage disguised as professionalism. Want that report done your way? Say so. Hoping for help on a project? Ask for it. Need your boss to actually give you real feedback instead of vague thumb...

Fuel The Flame

Forget the org chart. Toss the employee handbook. There is a raw, unscripted kind of magic at work no one tells you about. It is not necessarily your boss or your direct report it is your ride or die. This is the one who speaks your chaos fluently, deciphers your frantic shorthand like it is poetry, and fires back a "YUP. Saw that too" Teams message before you exhale.  They are the voice defending you in rooms you will never enter.  They are not just supportive they are catalytic. Throw you two in a room and you can’t be tamed. You bring the fuel they bring the detonator. Kaboom. This is not about climbing ladders it is about lighting up the hallway as you walk it.    Whether they are on your team or in another department, they are the one who sees your vision, challenges your ideas into something sharper, and tells you do it when you float something wild. They do not slow you down  they set you on fire (in the best way). You will know your ride or die when your...
