🌿 Wayfinding Key: This entry is for the high-achiever who feels BUSY and is ready to Un-become.

But I realized my creative energy was draining as I worked to create transformations with clients who saw themselves as a "set of apologies," all the while I was quietly suffocating under my own expert mask.

I had to un-mantle my success to find my soul. I traded the rigid 5-year plan for chapters, seasons, and cycles. I learned that "un-becoming" isn't a loss; it's a homecoming.
