In this episode of RTDB, I’m sharing three things that have been on my mind this week—each one rooted in connection, clarity, and the courage to let go.

From virtual coffee chats and online networking to in-person moments at book club and mahjong, I’ve been reminded how powerful the right conversations can be. Not every connection will click—and that’s okay. The goal isn’t to force it, it’s to find your people.

A conversation with my soul sister Kelsey brought something into sharp focus: I’ve been spinning too many plates. And not all of them are meant to keep spinning.

That clarity led me back to Necessary Endings by Henry Cloud—a book that hits especially hard if you’re questioning what’s next in your career or considering a corporate exit. Sometimes growth isn’t about doing more—it’s about cutting what’s no longer working.

This episode is your reminder that clarity doesn’t come from overthinking—it comes from the right conversations and the willingness to release what’s weighing you down.

• The right conversations can accelerate clarity—keep seeking them out
• If a group, coach, or connection doesn’t click, keep looking
• Spinning too many plates isn’t a badge of honor—it’s a signal
• Growth requires pruning: not everything is meant to come with you
• If you’re contemplating a corporate exit, Necessary Endings is a must-read
