Running In Place
Most of us don’t realize we’re stuck until years have passed and the lessons finally land. We grind, we push, we survive, hoping clarity will eventually catch up. But life doesn’t pause for reflection, and it certainly doesn’t wait for us to feel ready. If you’ve ever felt like you’re learning everything the hard way,…

Our Mind Is Like An Attorney
Our mind is like an attorney: it will find proof and evidence for any point of view we hold and argue it convincingly, no matter how much that view works against our best interests. Left unchecked, this inner courtroom can reinforce doubt, fear, and old patterns that quietly shape our decisions. We don’t struggle because…

Your Past Informs the Present
Your past informs your present more than you may realize. The strategies you learned as a child to gain love, approval, or safety often become the default patterns you carry into adulthood.

The Day I Argued with a BMW and Met Myself
I was out on a bike ride on my way back to my car. It was a typical busy day on Main Street in Ann Arbor, just the kind of chaos that makes you feel alive yet cautious. Always aware of traffic, I found myself in the left lane, signaling for a turn, when out…

These Directions Make No Sense!
Last Saturday, I volunteered at a men’s wellness event hosted by the Michigan Men’s Health Foundation at Ford Field in Detroit. The gathering was remarkable in its simplicity: everything was freely given, blood work, screenings for prostate health and diabetes, haircuts, dental and foot care. Everyone attending was provided with lunch. About 1,500 men were…

The Mind’s First Reaction Is Not the Soul’s Wisdom
I was kayaking with a friend on the Huron River, just below Barton Dam. From a distance, the water tumbling over the dam looked fierce, fast, like a current you’d be foolish to challenge. My friend hesitated, concerned the flow might be too strong. I could feel her pause. Her apprehension was real, but the…
