Reader, I've been doing a lot of reflection lately about why I do this work, the journey that has shaped my life, and what I want for you, and everyone in this community.

So today, I want to share something I wrote. It is not a tip or a framework. It is what I believe at my core. If it resonates with you, I hope it...
