Like many in 2025, my career took a turn I didn’t plan for. My federal senior executive career ended two years early. I found myself in the in-between: no clear next chapter, just the decision about how to move forward without knowing what I was moving toward.

I kept moving without the ball. And I started writing.

One month ago, I launched A Seat @ the Table, a newsletter about leadership, visibility, and what it costs to be in the room. If you’re just finding this space, the launch post is where to start.

The seat is hard-won. This newsletter is about what you do once you’re in it.
