Twenty-five years ago, I made a decision that changed everything: to stop chasing surface-level success and start noticing what actually felt aligned. That shift took me from a high-achieving career in biopharma to fashion, from triathlon to sustainable ranching, and through a series of radical pivots I never saw coming. Along the way, I’ve learned that fulfillment doesn’t come from checking boxes. It comes from noticing, listening to the part of you that knows when something isn’t working, and having the courage to do something about it.
I’ve lived the chapters most people are afraid to start: the bold pivots, the quiet unravelings, the moments that didn’t always make sense to others, but finally made sense to me. This isn’t a story about chasing more. It’s about finally living a life that’s aligned with what matters.
