30 and Thriving
Navigating the Rapids of Change with Grit, Grace, and Gratitude
Week 30 has been more of a reality check than one might hope for. I feel incredibly blessed this week as I've received the opportunity to join a new 9-5 role after my previous position ended at the close of 2023. This has filled me with excitement and renewed hope as I approach the arrival of the next generation.
In addition to the professional front, I've engaged in some amazing discussions recently, particularly focusing on stories in business and the insights gleaned from data. Reflecting on these real and challenging conversations during the process of embarking on this new adventure has left me eager to expand on them in my upcoming subscription of my returning monthly newsletter, Medi Dashboards. You can stay updated by subscribing here.
On a more personal note, I've found myself deeply immersed in the realities of organizing a baby shower with my wife and assembling the furniture for our little one on the way. Even without a 9-5, it feels like there's a lot to manage, especially with my partner working from home so noise needs to be at a minimum. I look forward to carving out some dedicated time to tackle the preparations and nurture the relationship with our baby in a very few short weeks.
