The combination of relatable situations, creative presentation, and authentic storytelling makes "The Ballad of Squishy Brain" an irresistible read for young professionals just starting their work/life journey and seasoned professionals feeling alone on theirs.

We’re starting Part 3 today, with a ballad.

Join us by reading or listening to the book Preface here.

P.S. I’ll be back on Friday with “3 things worth thinking about”. Here’s last week’s edition in case you missed it.


They told me life was all about the grind. Never-ending weeks, no room to unwind. Now I’m standing at a crossroad’s edge, scared to step back because I’ve made my pledge. 

I’ve been chasing shadows, running out of time. Dreaming of a balance and losing my mind. It’s hard to let go, afraid of what I'll find. I need to make space, to leave this behind.

I want to live where work and life collide. Where meaning and purpose walk side by side. No more chasing balance, let the ebb and flow guide - to places where my true self shows. I’m scared of falling and excited to fly. Time to make room for the things I can’t deny.
