If This Wasn’t the Plan (And That’s the Point) sparked something for you, you’re not alone. Much of what I write - and speak about - comes from years of navigating real careers, real detours, and the quiet moments when people realize they’re ready for something more honest.
I enjoy connecting with readers, students, and professionals who are thinking seriously about work, growth, and the choices that shape a life. Whether you’re hosting a podcast, organizing a book club, planning a career event, or looking for a guest speaker, I’m open to conversations that go deeper than surface-level advice.
I speak and facilitate discussions on topics including:
I’m available for podcasts, virtual and in-person talks, webinars, book signings, readings, and facilitated discussions. I’ve had the chance to engage with a range of audiences - from students to professionals - and I’m always glad to explore opportunities with high schools, colleges, book clubs, mentorship and coaching groups, and organizations interested in thoughtful conversations about modern careers.
If you’d like to invite me into your space - digital or physical - I’d love to hear from you. Let’s create a conversation that gives people language for where they are and confidence for what comes next.
