Essays

Every event we host is designed with intention, from the atmosphere we create to the way each session flows.

Welcome. This is where I write about the parts of life most people feel but rarely name — identity shifts, reinvention, the psychology of becoming, the collapse of old narratives, and the quiet transformations happening beneath the surface of everyday life.

My essays live at the intersection of applied psychology, lived experience, and the new world we’re all trying to understand. I write about what it means to outgrow an old self, to rebuild after loss, to navigate uncertainty, to discover new capability, and to evolve in a world that’s changing faster than the stories we were given.

I don’t write to inspire.
I write to tell the truth — the kind that helps people recognize themselves in the middle of their own transition.

You’ll find pieces here on identity, reinvention, human behavior, cultural shifts, and the future of how we live and work. Some essays are personal. Some are analytical. All of them come from the same place: an honest attempt to understand who we’re becoming and what it takes to build a life that fits the person we are now.

If you’re navigating change, searching for clarity, or simply trying to make sense of the world and your place in it, you’re in the right place.

Is AI in a Bubble? What It Means for Workers and Policy

AI has all the signs of a bubble. Capital is flooding in, companies are rebranding overnight, and expectations are racing far ahead of reality. Some of that will collapse.

Just as the dot-com crash didn’t kill the internet, an AI bust won’t reverse the deeper transformation already underway. AI is permanently rewiring how work gets done, how power concentrates, and how productivity is measured. The hype will fade. The systems change will not.

The real risk isn’t whether AI survives the bubble. It’s whether workers, organizations, and policymakers adapt fast enough to what remains after it bursts.

Hiring systems, leadership models, and workforce structures designed for slower cycles are now breaking under accelerated timelines. Understanding this shift is critical for organizations and leaders navigating AI adoption, workforce transformation, and the future of hiring.
