You can feel it when something’s quietly outgrowing you.

Dear Reader,

There’s a moment in every big transition that no one else can see.

Not panic. Not drama. Just that quiet shift, when your current path starts to feel too small.

I remember mine clearly.

It was after a call with my manager during a company reorg. I was offered a stable, technical leadership role back in Aberdeen. A role I could do well, with my eyes closed.

But something in me said no.

Maybe you’ve felt it too.

That low hum in the background.

The quiet moment when staying starts to feel like a slow kind of shrinking.

It wasn’t rebellion.

It was a deeper kind of knowing.

A conviction I couldn’t un-hear.

So I made the call:

We’d stay in London, at our own cost.

No safety net. No roadmap. Just a quiet refusal to go back to a version of myself I’d already outgrown.

But conviction without preparation can still become regret.

So I built a plan.

What followed was a 60-day pivot—deliberate, uncomfortable, and necessary.

I mapped my strengths. Spoke to 19 leaders.

Reverse-engineered the roles I wanted to grow into.

And most importantly, I made peace with being a beginner again.

That part was harder than I expected.

Because for many of us—especially those who’ve always had to prove we belong—starting again can feel like erasing everything we’ve earned.

But it’s not.

It’s expanding who we’re becoming.

And here’s the truth:

Some people choose to pivot.

Others are pushed by restructure, redundancy, or leadership shifts they didn’t see coming.

But the moment they meet is the same:

Standing at the edge of what used to make sense, trying to figure out what comes next.

If you’re in that place—whether by choice or circumstance—this episode is for you.
