A Season of Inner Work

Over the past few months, I’ve been quieter than usual.

Not because I’ve stepped away from the work, but because I’ve been in a different kind of work—the kind that reshapes you from the inside out. After leaving my job earlier this year, I entered a liminal space that was less about producing and more about unwinding.

Long-running relational and emotional patterns began to surface and dissolve. I’ve turned inward to make space for what wanted to emerge next.

It’s been a season of slowing down enough to hear the subtler layers of my life—of letting an identity shift happen at its own pace rather than the pace I wished it would move.

What This Year Has Taught Me

A few lessons have become foundational:

• My intuition is far more trustworthy than I realized.

• Inner work moves according to its own timeline.

• My growth tends to come through softening, not forcing.

• I can move toward intensity and complexity rather than away from them.

• And what looks “unproductive” from the outside is often the most essential work of all.

A Serendipitous Partnership

One of the unexpected threads of the year has been my connection with my new business partner, Ethan Wells.

We were paired in a developmental psychology course, and our regular check-ins gradually revealed a natural alignment of interests, experience, and a certain way of relating to what is unfolding in our world. In a quiet bit of synchronicity, he was the last person I spoke with during my final hour at the office on the day I left my job.

I ended that call, turned in my laptop, and stepped into the unknown.

Since then, our partnership has gained its own momentum. You’ll begin seeing Ethan’s writing regularly woven into The Liminal Leap, adding another perspective as we explore how the world is changing and what that means for individual and collective development.

Together, we’re preparing new offerings—an eight-week group experience beginning in late January (more on that below), and The Liminal Leap Community will be launching this spring.

The Value of Liminal Space

Looking back, I can see threads that once felt unrelated now forming a pattern.

In a culture that ties worth to constant doing, it’s easy to believe that anything else is wasted time. But slowing down and embracing spaciousness is not a pause; it’s preparation.

And the more time I spend in it, the more I trust its purpose.

What’s Emerging Now

1. The Art of Conscious Relationship with AI

One offering Ethan and I are bringing forward is an eight-week experience called The Art of Conscious Relationship with AI.

Across our time together, we’ll explore the space where human intelligence and machine intelligence meet. Rather than treating AI as a productivity tool or reacting to it with fear, this program invites you to engage AI as a reflective partner—one that can illuminate blind spots, clarify tensions, and support your unfolding when approached with presence and nuance.

This is a developmentally informed, conversation-driven cohort designed for people who sense we’re entering a liminal moment—one where AI will play a defining role—and want to meet that moment with grounded discernment. If you’ve had glimpses of meaningful interactions with AI, or you’re curious how it can support your inner work and leadership rather than bypass it, this experience is for you.

Early access is already open for those who reach out directly, and a public launch is coming soon.
If you’re curious, reply to this email or and we can explore whether it’s a fit.

2. Opening 1:1 Client Spots

I’m opening six to seven new 1:1 client spots in the new year.

I feel called to work with thoughtful, high-capacity people in transition—those sensing an internal or external shift and wanting to meet that change with depth and discernment.

A central tension I help clients navigate is learning to trust what is happening within them, especially during uncertain or transformative seasons.

3. The Liminal Leap Community — Launching This Spring

This spring, we’re launching The Liminal Leap Community—a gathering place for people who want to grow in a world that’s changing faster than any of us expected.

At its center is a simple question:
How do we show up differently in a moment that asks more of us?

This community is designed for thoughtful humans who sense that something new is emerging—both in themselves and in the wider world. Together we’ll explore how technology, especially AI, can become an ally in our inner development rather than just a tool for productivity. Through monthly calls, shared practices, and ongoing conversation, we’ll look at how to deepen self-awareness, strengthen discernment, illuminate blind spots, and stay grounded and connected while the world transforms around us.

My hope is that The Liminal Leap becomes a place where no one has to navigate this liminal moment alone—where we can develop the subtle capacities the coming decade will require, and learn to relate to technology in ways that support our aliveness rather than diminish it.

The Deeper Invitation

If there’s a deeper thread running through everything I’m creating—beneath the writing, the programs, the coaching—it’s this:

To return to the most honest version of ourselves
and to fully inhabit the human experience.

Recently I’ve noticed a kind of grace inside struggle and conflict—not as something that removes difficulty but as something woven through it. I sense that same grace in the collective moment, as old structures fall away and new possibilities begin to take shape.

The future I’m imagining is one where subtle capacities matter more than accumulation of things—where clarity, depth, relationship, and inner alignment carry more weight than ever before.

If This Resonates…

If something in this mirrors your own journey, I’d love to connect with you to learn more about your experience…

More soon!

Much Love,
