With this month’s back-to-school theme, I wanted to put myself in a slightly uncomfortable position. Not because school itself is uncomfortable, but because learning is. I wanted to relearn things, challenge my limits, and expand my worldview—a constant undercurrent in how I navigate life. I decided to relearn tennis. Equipped with a $40 Target racket…

Every September arrives with the same atmospheric indecision. Imagine crisp morning air, dry leaves underfoot, and unexpectedly warm afternoons. Standing in front of the wardrobe, I find myself caught in seasonal friction. How do I dress for this weather? Does this knitwear still work, or is it hopelessly “last year”?

As delicate as the late-blooming windflower, September arrives with a distinct emotional baseline: nostalgia.

Networking is often misunderstood as a social endeavor. In high-stakes environments, it is a prospecting operation. If you want to leave the room with a win-win, you must not only socialize but start applying these principles of human conversion I learned as a salesperson. A Note on the Craft: These principles are not rigid rulebooks; they…

This August demands a strategy of navigating a calendar of high-stakes social commitments while fiercely protecting the space for a deliberate and much needed reset. I curated this month’s lookbook to anchor that exact tension. From the high-energy networking at the US Open and the refined ease of summer garden parties, to the minimalist luxury…

There are infinite ways to say something. Words are just one. “Sarah, what’s your opinion on this?” I froze. My friends were deep in conversation, and suddenly all eyes were on me. I had a hundred thoughts running through my head. I was agreeing and disagreeing silently with their opinions, mentally cataloging every angle of…

It’s the second month of the year already? I said I was going to hit the gym everyday and read 30 pages every night.Thank God for February because I can try again this month. February is the perfect time to start fresh with Lunar New Year! You have so many to look forward to especially…
