Over the coming months, I’ll be completing my first book, Still Coming of Age: Cultivating a Compassion Practice for Lifelong Flourishing, and moving from writing into editing, publishing, and launch. I’m inviting anyone who’s genuinely interested or curious to follow along by opting in to receive occasional updates.
These updates will share the stories behind the stages — reflections from the writing process, lessons I’m learning, and early previews from the book. Nothing noisy or overwhelming — just honest insight into the journey.
The book explores a simple but challenging idea: most of us are groomed to seek approval and follow directions, yet real flourishing — in our work and in our lives — requires learning to discern what brings us meaning and to navigate the challenges that come with that choice.
The stories draw from corporate and nonprofit leadership, coaching executive teams, compassion and mindfulness practice, prison and music ministry, and my own mental health learning.
If that resonates, you’re welcome to opt in below. No pressure. No guilt. No obligation. Your email stays private, and you can unsubscribe at any time.
Topics you’ll see explored include:
• What “Still Coming of Age” really means
• What flourishing looks like (personally and professionally)
• What is a compassion practice and how it prepares us to overcome adversity
• What executive coaching and prison ministry have in common
• How I connected with Sarah McLachlan — and her contribution to the book
• Why the estate of Harry Chapin asked for a copy for their archives
