I’m not here as an expert—just a fellow traveler on this bumpy road, figuring things out as I go. Think of this as a field trip through my current human experience: a mix of wins, lessons learned the hard way, and moments where I still have no idea what’s happening.

As an elder millennial, I suspect I’m not alone in feeling like adulthood is a mix of beauty, complexity, and perpetual improvisation. Somehow, we’ve blinked and found ourselves in our 40s, still trying to wrap our heads around how we got here.

By sharing my stories, I hope to connect with others who feel the same—a reminder that we’re navigating this unpredictable journey together.
