I didn’t plan to take such a long break from sharing.
But looking back, I’m glad I did.
I went offline to live.
To be more present in the season I was in.
To slow down, recalibrate, and finish my book.
During that time, I went through a breakup.
Started surfing and skating again.
Did more of what energised me as a kid.
Took solo trips down the coast. Sat by the fire.
Let things feel simple for a while.
There was a part of me that thought I might not come back.
But another part remembered why I started.
Not for consistency or growth or performance
But to express what felt real.
To connect. To create. To contribute.
At one point, it all started to drain me.
So I stepped back.
And in doing so, I found something I hadn’t felt in a while.
Not a big breakthrough. Just space.
And that space did me good.
The book’s done.
The podcast’s back.
And if you’re in a weird, in-between season of your own, I see you.
Thanks for still being here.
Keep paddling.
