Every week, I publish one essay, written to start a better conversation.
Executive Unschool is a publication for ambitious women who have lost interest in optimizing a life that doesn't feel like their own.
If you've ever caught yourself wondering:
→ Why does work take up so much space in my mind?
→ How am I this successful and still this exhausted?
→ When did ambition start feeling heavier than it used to?
→ Why do I keep waiting until "after this project" to start living?
You're in the right place.
Here's what you're signing up for: a place to step back, notice what modern work quietly teaches us, question what deserves questioning, and imagine something better. Productivity tips and leadership clichés live elsewhere.
WHAT YOU’LL RECEIVE
Every issue reads like a letter, a thoughtful conversation that helps you see your work, and yourself, a little differently.
Inside Executive Unschool, you'll find:
-
Fresh perspectives on work, ambition, identity, leadership, and the lives we're building around them.
-
I spend hours with studies, books, and emerging ideas so you don't have to. Every issue turns complex research into practical insight you can actually use.
-
The best ideas stay with you long after the reading is done. Every edition leaves you with a question that has the power to reshape how you move through your week.
-
Early access to new frameworks, podcast conversations, retreat announcements, and the ideas I'm exploring before they become something bigger.
THIS IS ABOUT EXPANDING LIFE
Work, leadership, and meaningful contribution all matter, and none of them were ever meant to become your entire identity.
Executive Unschool exists for people who believe ambition and aliveness belong in the same sentence, who want careers that support a beautiful life rather than replace one, and who decline to accept exhaustion as the cost of meaningful work.
EXECUTIVE UNSCHOOL is for you if...
You're ambitious and no longer interested in proving your worth through overwork
You love meaningful work and want it to fit inside a full life
You enjoy big ideas, thoughtful conversations, and questioning assumptions
You're drawn to evidence without losing your sense of wonder
You're building both a career and a life with intention
You're building both a career and a life with intention
If that's you, welcome.
WHY I PUBLISH
Fifteen years in executive leadership and employment law taught me something I couldn't unsee.
People rarely came to me because they didn't know how to work. They came because work had quietly changed them, shifting what they expected from themselves, what they tolerated, how they defined success, and where they spent their attention. Eventually I realized the conversation I wanted to have was about becoming a healthier human while doing meaningful work, something bigger than becoming a better executive or founder.
That's why I publish Executive Unschool, and every week is another chance to ask a better question.
