Reflecting on why the phrase “success leaves clues” has always felt incomplete to me.

And how looking at **your own life** tells a much truer story.

Join me to noodle on:

• Self-defined, context-dependent definitions of success (of course)
• Presence, inhabitation (fave word of late), and feeling alive as core measures of success
• Using memory and imagination as tools for grounding in the present
• Time as feedback, not pressure
• How past experience and future desire can inform this moment (without getting stuck in either)

A philosophical yet practical take on paying attention to the clues your life's leaving AND letting that guide how you show up today.

In case you're allergic to religion and/or language that leans woo:

When I say "spirit" - I mean that non-physical life force that animates us.

The undeniable breath and energy that leaves the physical building on our last day in this form.

Spirituality, then, is defined as what brings us to life. What gives us the truest most powerful energy.

In other words: our highest values. Our telos. THE thing that matters most to you.

(That we uncover and refine every quarter in our What Matters Workshops.)

We define spirituality in this way because it's grounded, personal, and usable.

More in the episode, and those to come. ✨

PRACTICE.

My word o' 2026. (I usually resist words of the year, but this one came through loud and clear at the end of last year.)

I'm sharing this not for external accountability but for shared humanity, in case you're naturally nosy curious like me and love behind-the-scenes documentaries:

My plan is to record and publish 52 episodes for On Her Terms® in 2026, each corresponding with the 12 monthly themes I've laid out for myself and my clients behind-the-scenes.

My filter: If I could only share 4-5 notes on this topic, what would they be?

(In theory I'll lather, rinse, repeat, and continue to expand the living library year after year till I run out of breath or things to say, whichever comes first ;))

Letting this feed continue to serve as evidence of my humanity and evolution of thought.

An audio archive / public notebook where I'll continue to share useful reframes and insights for you and for future me.

In the ep I share more about my "ideal" recording conditions and how today was exactly not that, which turned out to be pretty perfect anyway.

I'm quite curious how having a regular publishing cadence (new for me 🙃) will impact my own energy, creativity, etc.

I'll take notes and park the overflow in my clients-only feeds. The restraint will be a practice in itself!

First theme: SPIRIT in January.

Meet you there.
