From Balance

This week’s From Balance recommendation 🍊🍊🍊

Mattering by explores one of our most fundamental human needs: feeling valued and knowing that we matter. Drawing on research and personal stories, the book offers an insightful perspective on the connection between purpose, belonging, well-being, and the role these play in living a meaningful life.

This book will resonate with you if… you are curious about the deeper drivers of well-being, long for meaningful connection, or want to better understand what creates a stronger sense of purpose and belonging.

In turbulent times, I remind myself that what allows a surfer to ride the wave is never control of the ocean - but an understanding of flow.

Regret is something most of us are familiar with—yet rarely something we choose to sit with for long.

In this week’s reflection, I explore what can become possible when we begin to meet regret with a little more curiosity. Not as something to fix or push away, but as a quiet signal pointing us toward deeper self-connection and growth.

Perhaps the question is not what we regret—but what our regrets are trying to show us.

A small note… this piece is also the first one shared from a new home. I’ve moved the newsletter over to Substack — to create a space that feels a little more like a conversation than a one-way note.
