Thank you for the real talk - you are speaking to my soul! I have also been teaching myself to appreciate the freedom unlocked by saying no. I'm not good at it yet, but I'm getting better. I wish you a wonderful, slow but rewarding summer!
I didn't answer your question. Besides some relief from the heat (AZ), I hope summer brings clarity in a career transition. Hoping to land work that draws on the skills and experience I’ve built over the years, whether in short-term projects, fractional gigs, or something more stable. Like you, I’ve also been exploring a new way of engaging with AI, not just as a tool for productivity, but as a partner in reflection, iteration, and growth. If I can find a way to braid these two threads, livelihood and evolution, I’ll count that as a meaningful summer. I've given up on beating the heat.
This resonated with me on a lot of different levels. You were absolutely right to write it and I’m glad you did. Thank you for sharing your vulnerability which is also your strength.
I appreciate the authenticity, and literally felt this in my bones as I was reading this.

You are speaking to my soul. Un-optimize it, sis. Slow down and do less. It's the new doing more.
