What’s something you thought you wanted… but learned more by actually living it and know better now?
For me, that question led to thoughts about commitment, love, and where staying starts to cost too much. Not to tell anyone what to do or to shame past choices. If this question stirred something in you, I’d love to hear what your answer is.

This topic reminds me of the song in Wicked called "Defying Gravity". For myself, I think this thread applies to my views on my career path.

Share some learned wisdom
“What’s one lesson you learned later in life that would’ve saved you years if you learned it earlier?

@Jason Munroe I think people hesitate on their financial literacy journey as 1.) it sounds very complicated and maybe even boring, and 2.) getting started wasn't as easy in the past as it is today where you see teenagers looking to apps and YouTubers for advice.

@Jason Munroe Yes, the guaranteed pay check definitely inspired me to extend myself at times 😅, so now I'm a lot better at managing my resources since my earnings vary day to day now.

@Jason Munroe Likewise, I think there's something very therapeutic about simply sharing what's weighing on us, even if the person listening can't necessarily fix what's wrong.

These are the people in your neighborhood
What is one "invisible" service a neighbor does for the community that deserves more recognition?

Well my parents' neighbour always helps to shovel their driveway when it snows too heavily without being asked, which I think is amazing. My parents are impatient and don't want to wait for my brother and I in case it snows more or they want to go out at lunchtime.

@Jason Munroe That's very cool, did you ever have the chance to ask that neighbour why they did it?

Some things don’t end because they’re bad. They end because they’ve done their job.
Lately, I’ve been noticing a quiet shift..not dramatic, not urgent.. just a growing awareness that certain patterns no longer fit the person I’m becoming. People pleasing.Comparison.Perfectionism disguised as “high standards. Waiting until I feel ready before starting. For a long time, these habits felt protective. They helped me belong. They helped me stay safe. They helped me feel “enough.” But over time, they started costing more than they gave. This coffee-time reflection isn’t about fixing yourself or pushing harder. It's about noticing what you might be outgrowing and giving yourself permission to let it go. Not all growth looks like adding something new. Sometimes growth looks like setting something down. If you’re in a season where motivation feels different, or old strategies aren’t working the way they used to, you’re not broken. You might just be changing. What are you letting go of ?

@Drew Gillette I fully understand as I tend to overshare about topics I'm passionate about as well and can even be a "conversational bully" 😅. I once took an improv class at Second City about the "Yes, And" concept and there was an exercise to try to have a conversation with another student for as long as possible. At first it was easy and we'd simply ask one another more probing questions to see if we could find common ground and build rapport on the random topic we chose. However, when things started drying up or I'd feel uncomfortable, I'd simply change the topic about something I was more familiar or passionate about. And by constantly changing the conversation that way so I could talk more, it was defined as being a conversational bully. And the point of the Yes, And concept was to take what the other participant in the conversation was giving you, add something and allow the other person to reciprocate.
