There 's a moment usually somewhere between the school runs, the board meetings, and the late-night scrolling when you stop and ask: “Whose life am I actually living?” It’s a confronting question. Because somewhere along the way, so much of what we call our life starts to belong to everyone else.

If you’ve already been through burnout, illness, loss, or upheaval — of course you hesitate.

Feeling behind in your own becoming? You’re not alone. In this reflection, I share a simple moment — an 80-year-old jogger’s cheeky comment on my morning walk — that reminded me how often we rush change in search of clarity. But sometimes, slowing down is the bravest and wisest thing we can do. If you’re navigating a life or career shift, this one’s for you. A gentle invitation to walk, not run.
