Hey Reader, Hey [First Name], Something Sarah shared recently got me thinking about a question most of us never actually ask: What still earns its place? She’s been going through old photo albums from the 60s, 70s, and 80s — sorting pictures, noticing which ones still hold meaning, and which ones she’s been carrying forward simply because they’ve always been there. And it landed with me — especially as an only child who will eventually inherit a lifetime of other people’s “stuff.” But here’s...

Hey Reader, I want to share a little more of what last week actually looked like... not the polished version, the real one. I didn’t plan on starting the new year redesigning all three of my websites. But as I sat with what I wanted for this year and the direction I’m moving in, it became clear that I needed a stronger foundation before anything else. From the outside, it probably looked like I was “just working on my websites.” What it felt like was investigative journalism. At one point I...

Hey Reader, One thing this week has quietly reinforced for me is this: Personal Power doesn’t come from doing things the “right” way. It comes from doing them your way... with presence, honesty, and trust. So much of January can feel like a checklist of best practices: start strong optimize early lock in the plan But I’m noticing (yet again) that the moments that actually move us forward rarely come from copying someone else’s formula exactly. They come from paying attention to who we are…...

Hey Reader, There’s a moment that shows up every year — but almost no one names it. It’s not January 1st. And it’s not the first Monday back. It’s later. Usually somewhere around the third week of January. By then: the adrenaline is gone the fantasy version of the year has quietly dissolved and the pressure to “be on track” starts to creep in This is the point where people tend to do one of two things: They force a plan that doesn’t really fit. —or— They drift, telling themselves they’ll...

Hey Reader, This is week already feels like one of those in-between weeks. The holidays are behind us. The “new year” energy is here. And yet… things for me aren’t fully in motion…yet Last week, I spent a good chunk of time doing unglamorous work behind the scenes: updating websites, untangling systems, cleaning up my digital life that had quietly gotten messy. It didn’t look like progress from the outside. But it mattered. Because I wasn’t building for today. I was building for Future Kevin;...

Hey Reader, This first official week of the year wasn’t about big moves or fast starts for me. It was about laying a foundation. I started the week thinking I’d record a short video series to help you build momentum. To share it, I needed a landing page—a place for people to sign up. That simple realization sent me down a WordPress dragon hole: coding, design, structure. Not in a bad way. Just… not what I planned for this week. Still, it reminded me of something important about how I work...

Hey Reader, Padam, Padam. Step by step keeps showing me the way. I’ve had a few conversations this week that all circled the same idea: how to stay with the process instead of rushing the outcome. One of them was with a past client, Shola. During a virtual coffee chat, she said something simple: “I’m in good energy.” I loved the way she said it. It means she’s paying attention to the process of what actually keeps her in sound mind, body and spirit. Which brings me to today. This morning, I...

Hey Reader, Happy first official workday of 2026. In the spirit of starting things off, I want to share the phrase I’m using to guide this year. It’s something my dad and I say to each other... especially over the last few years, when things have felt uncertain: Padam, Padam. It comes from a Sanskrit saying that roughly translates to: “Step by step: at every step, the next fitting step appears.” Not in a hustle-your-way-forward sense. More like this: you take the step you can see… and then...

Hey Reader, Happy New Year. Wishing you a prosperous and abundant year ahead. The week between Christmas and New Year’s always feels strange to me. Routines soften. Time bends. And then, almost overnight, life starts asking us to show up again. This past week is what my friend Ciara Pressler from Pregame calls Zamboni Week — a pause where the ice gets smoothed, the chaos settles, and we clear what needs clearing before the game really begins again. I love that framing. It captures something...
