Such a wonderful read. I’m always so timid to begin something new due to messing up loudly. But what if doing so will allow me to grow in real time?? 🫣
Alexis, “the worldview comes from the living” feels like the sentence that carries the whole piece. You take what began as grief in an old neighborhood and turn it into a larger challenge about substance, authority, risk, fun, and the stories that make a person interesting enough to trust. I especially appreciate the way you name the temptation to stay controlled, legible, tidy, and safe after disappointment, then remind readers that authority is earned through experience, vulnerability, mistakes, desire, and the courage to keep choosing aliveness. Grateful for the wit, honesty, and force with which you are inviting ambitious women to stop optimizing themselves out of a life worth telling stories about.
