A Reset, Not A Restart
Behind-the-scenes has been full, so I'm adjusting to accommodate real-life.
Sometimes there are moments when life is just lifein’.
Whether it’s a busy stretch at work, health issues you’re quietly managing, raising a child (and dealing with the invisible load), caring for parents, or showing up for a friend, trying to be a functioning adult can be really hard.
Even when you’re deeply passionate about something, real life doesn’t pause or always allow you to maintain a schedule. That’s been true for me lately.
I’ve been working on executing a long-overdue repositioning strategy, and with that, I’ve been thinking through how to continue building a values-driven community of women and our allies through TheANDLife project.
When I sat down to look back at the last six months, it was clear that the posts that landed most deeply for me (and for all of you) were the most honest. Most raw. Created without pretense or frills. Just honest, real moments we’ve all struggled with at one point or another.
So, that’s what I’m going to do.
It’s not going to look like what I do through my consulting business, creating frameworks, lessons, and leaning deep into insights. In all honesty, that means it’s going to challenge me, push me, and at times make me feel uncomfortable, because I’ve lived in such a performative space for so long.
Of course, I’m still going to share things I’ve found helpful over the years – rituals, reflections, minute changes, and resources – but more than anything, I don’t want to just write for you; I want to build this with you.
Because the entire point of building a platform dedicated to redefining success requires connection, community, and collaboration. Being isolated or feeling alone is why some of these topics exist and why it’s so challenging to discuss them.
Subtle changes are happening.
I’m shifting to a structure that is more sustainable for me and the chapter of life I’m in. Every month, I can commit to:
One long-form newsletter with a TL;DR intro
One short-form version with a Q&A format or video
The distribution day and time might vary, not because I want to be inconsistent, but because I want to be realistic and meet more of you where you are.
Whether that’s adapting to more skimmable content or producing snippets that get straight to the heart of the matter. We’re all busy, and that’s okay.
And now, I want your help.
As a project centered around women redefining success on our own terms, I want to know what you want. If you’re willing, I’ve added a quick poll to help me figure out what you care most about so I can incorporate those topics into my content.
Of course, if you don’t feel comfortable submitting your answers in a public poll or are interested in more than one theme, please feel free to message me directly with your thoughts or anything I didn’t include that you’d like to see.
Thank you for being here. This space matters to me, and I want to shape it in a way that feels like a deep exhale that warms my heart, not another thing on my endless to-do list.
With gratitude always,
Priya 💜
