Hello, friends,

I just got back from a quick trip with my college girlfriends. We've been friends for 20 years!

Between us, we've racked up 20 children. And about 1,294 life pivots and career changes.

None of us are the same at 40 as we were at 20. What we want now is different from what we wanted then, or 10 years ago, 5 years ago, or maybe even yesterday.

It's amazing to have watched the girls I knew become the women they are, each of them more complex and nuanced and themselves because of their varied experiences and evolution.

Time and life will naturally change us. And, that process is easier when we're willing to accept or pursue the changes when they come knocking. Whether they're actual, physical changes, like the arrival of a baby, or more subtle changes, like an idea that we can't get out of our head.

Whatever potential changes are standing at your threshold, I hope you feel ready to meet them with courage and a smile.

Career Mapping

Your career will naturally evolve over time, and that's one way to figure out what you want to pursue next. And, it helps to have a deep and full understanding of your own personal strengths, skills, interests and values so you may choose that next step with purpose and intention.

Career Mapping is a partnership based on the YouMap® assessment. If you're curious to do some career exploration (before you go to that hiring manager....before you ask for the referral...before you jump ship...) you can read more here.

A quick reminder that this space will now focus more specifically and intentionally on career exploration and evolution. If we're to put labels on it, this is my "professional" email list.

My fun, hobby-esque, more personal writing has been moved to a new newsletter on Substack called The Pinprick.

Here's an excerpt from an essay I posted yesterday:

Cheering you on, as always,
