Over the years, I’ve led teams, stepped into new challenges, and, like many, I’m figuring things out as I go. Along the way, I’ve learned that growth isn’t a straight line, self-doubt is normal, and confidence is something you build, not something you just have.

That’s why I started Notes to Self on Substack. It’s a space to unpack the real side of career growth, leadership, and figuring things out in real time. Some days, I’m thriving. Other days, I’m deep in overthinking. Confidence comes in waves, and that’s okay.

Through personal reflections, career insights, and Work Besties wisdom, this is where I turn inner spirals into clarity, share what’s helped me, and explore the lessons that come with stepping up and growing forward.

If you’ve ever second-guessed yourself, felt stuck in your head, or wished you had a work bestie to talk it through with - you’ve come to the right place!
