Sometimes Curious, Often Confused

Spiral 20: The Devil You Know: Why do We Stay in Situations That No Longer Serve Us?

We have all made excuses for people's recklessness just because there is a part of them that we admire, and that part of them, the one we love them for usually has little or nothing to do with what they are being held accountable for in the moment.

Why do we do this? Why do we keep showing up for people who’ve already shown us who they are?

Spiral 19: Maturing early, but at what cost?

You know, we love when children start acting mature early. We clap for them. We say, "Wow, you’re so responsible. You’re so reasonable. You’re so mature." And who doesn’t like that? Who doesn’t love a child that acts older than their age?Because it makes your job easier. And who doesn't want easy? It’s almost like half of your job is already done. Now, you don't have to teach them every step of the way.

But deep down, a part of that child is being rushed. A part of them that they don't get back.

Spiral 18: What if you became the friend you wanted?

We want people to show up for us the same way we show up for others. But who gets to show up first is usually an internal debate. In this episode, I discuss the upside of showing up first for "our people".

Here's a little question: How much help do the nice, selfless ones actually need?

Spiral 17: Maybe Consistency Isn't Overrated

Sometimes consistency feels overrated. It feels like showing up daily doesn’t mean anything if you don’t see results.But what if the real power of consistency isn’t about instant results but about staying in the game long enough to grow?Could it be that consistency is less about daily progress and more about keeping yourself in motion, so you don’t fall behind?

Spiral 16: What if fame had an off button?

Can we talk about what people think fame is? Because that’s not the same as what it really is. In this episode, I’m starting a new series "If Wishes Were Horses, Beggars Would Fly" and we’re beginning with the dream of fame. From the highs of recognition to the pressure of staying in character, I’m wondering… what’s the real cost of being known? And if there was an off-switch for famewould anybody use it?

Spiral 15: Access Granted

What if every thought, compliment, or criticism needed permission before it could shape how we see ourselves? In this episode, I’m thinking out loud about the mental checkpoints we don’t even realize we have—and how trust, self-image, and past experiences decide what gets through. Who have we given access to… and why? And more importantly, what would happen if we got better at choosing?

We all say we want open conversations, but do we really allow people to change their minds? From influencers to politicians to everyday social media debates, there’s an unspoken rule: once you’ve taken a stance, you’d better stick with it—because admitting you were wrong? That’s risky.Why do we cling to old opinions, even when we know better? Is it integrity, or just fear? And where do we draw the line between accountability and growth?Maybe the real trap isn’t being wrong—it’s never letting ourselves admit when we are.
