The Courage to Be Seen: Embracing Vulnerability in Work and Life Vulnerability isn't weakness. It’s the most accurate measure of courage. Yet for many of us, allowing ourselves to be truly seen feels like standing on the edge of a cliff, uncertain whether we'll fall or fly. I've learned that vulnerability shows up differently in our professional and personal lives, but in both spaces, it asks the same thing of us: the willingness to be authentic even when it's uncomfortable.

The Shadow Is Not Empty One of the greatest illusions we face is the inner shadow, that dark space that convinces us we are unprotected, unloved, and alone. When we find ourselves in the shadow, fear and sadness can make it feel endless, as though the force of good has disappeared. But here's the truth: the shadow is not absence. It is an illusion. You are always loved, always guided, always connected.

Using Humor to Build Real Connections In my previous role as a Territory Manager, I watched my store leaders carry weight that never seemed to lift. The stress was constant. Tight deadlines, impossible metrics, staffing challenges that never quite resolved. I could walk into a store and feel the tension in the air before anyone said a word. That's when I started leaning into something I'd learned from the FISH Philosophy: the concept of play.

The Beautiful Mess of Becoming a Butterfly Finding Beauty in Life's Messiest Moments You know what’s crazy to me? Caterpillars have no clue they’re about to become butterflies. If someone told you, “Hey, in a few weeks, you’re going to basically turn to soup and then emerge with wings,” you’d probably back away slowly. It sounds like a horror movie, not a promotion. But I think I get it now.
