This week’s episode is deeply personal. As I walk through the Pacific Crest Trail, I’m reflecting on some of the most important lessons life has taught me. Before I left, I created a cover letter for my will, trust, and medical directives—that process sparked a beautiful request from my family: to share the wisdom I’ve gained, not just about weight loss or project management, but about living. Really living.

So today, I share some of the most humbling, transformative lessons I've learned—on love, failure, emotions, asking for help, and the beautiful complexity of the human journey. I also share two powerful teachings from the Stoics that continue to guide me, especially when the path feels uncertain. This is the first of a special three-part series where I speak to the weight of what matters most.

I leave you with this beautiful quote from Maya Angelou, one of my greatest teachers:

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
