All the texts I’ve recently published in The Slow Burn have been born from a desire to share and inspire. I emphasize this because I recognize that it wasn’t always like this. In the past, when I called myself a publicist and entrepreneur, my writing was often driven by a need to build my personal […]
It’s curious how, at certain moments in life, you start hearing questions that reflect what people think and expect of you. “Have you retired yet?” “So, what are you doing now?” “Are you reinventing yourself?” “What’s next?” I’ve found myself facing these [...]
