The Blank Page That Talks Back
I want to tell you something that might sound strange at first. Stay with it, because I think it might change how you think about a tool you probably already have access to. I have been using Claude. Not to write my emails. Not to summarize reports. Not to generate...
The Awareness Is the Way
There is a particular kind of loneliness that nobody warns you about. It is not the loneliness of being alone. It is the loneliness of seeing clearly in a world that has agreed, collectively and without much debate, to look away. You do the work. You bleed through the...
The Cost of Clarity
There is a version of me that certain people still think they know. They call her name, and I hear it like a sound from another room – familiar, but distant. That version is receding. Not because I abandoned her, but because I kept growing when she stopped. Awareness...

The Painter and the Paintbrush
I had a conversation with Claude today that I think is worth sharing. Not because it was extraordinary in the way people usually mean when they talk about AI, but because it got at something I’ve been thinking about for a while: where do I end and where does the tool...
Your Why Was Always in You
You don’t get to your why until you’ve had the knocks. At least that’s been my experience. It’s like peeling a carrot. Maybe not that thin. In my case, the layers have been thicker. Layers of life experiences where you’ve taken on everybody else’s narrative and made...
