Welcome to What’s Possible
This is a space for the woman who is building something meaningful, and who knows that growth starts on the inside.
Some of what you will find here looks at mindset and behavior through the lens of the culture we are all living in. Some of it is drawn from my own work and what I have learned along the way. The goal is always the same. To leave you a little more grounded, a little more equipped, and a little more sure of what is possible for you.
Read what resonates. Return when you need to.
“You build it in the calm seasons so it is there for you in the hard ones.”
The Test I Didn't See Coming
What an Unexpected Layoff Revealed About the Work That was Already Done
By Iram Mehal
Earlier this week, I was part of a large group of people let go in a reduction in force.
It was unexpected. There is no version of that news that does not land as a shock, and I am not going to pretend otherwise. One moment you are planning your week, and the next you are in a meeting that changes your immediate future.
And yet, almost as soon as I heard the words, something steadier rose up in me. Not denial. Not forced positivity. Just a quiet, grounded thought.
It is what it is.
I felt calm. Clear. And somewhere underneath the surprise, already ready to move.
It took me a moment to understand why that reaction surprised even me. And once I understood it, I knew I had to write this.
