Reflections from 21 Days to Digital: What I Discovered About Power, Progress and the Pivot
Disclaimer: This post makes me feel uncomfortable. And I’m writing it anyway.
For the last 21 days, I’ve been sharing daily reflections on LinkedIn as part of my 21 Days to Digital experiment. It started as a skills challenge. It ended as something far deeper.
I learned how to code and design a website — things I never imagined I’d touch, let alone enjoy. I cracked open a whole new world of capability, from digital security to site-building, and for the first time in years, I felt excited by the unknown. But it wasn’t just the hard skills that shifted.
It was the soft stuff — the vulnerability, the fear, the imposter syndrome of stepping into someone else’s arena and writing about it publicly. I’ve faced this before. I knew it would come. But this time, I welcomed it.
Because this is what Unstoppable by Design is really about.
It’s about what happens when life knocks you flat — and you choose to rise anyway.
I’ve been stuck many times. I've lost a partner. I've parented through grief. I've faced health challenges — physical and mental — in myself and others. I’ve felt the fear of irrelevance, the pressure to pivot, the discomfort of change forced upon you before you’re ready. And every time, the question has been the same:
What now?
That’s the question Unstoppable by Design is here to answer.
I believe we don’t move forward in spite of the hard stuff — we move forward with it. By holding space for grief, for fear, for failure… and still taking one brave step. Then another. Then another.
Last night, I hosted an awards panel dinner for the Women in Change Changemaker of the Year judges. The room was full of fierce, brilliant women. And after a few glasses of wine, the real conversations began.
We spoke of recovery after major surgeries. Of careers reshaped by divorce, death, or burnout. Of new puppies that broke the rules (and us along with them). And we laughed. We held each other. We remembered the absurdity and joy that somehow coexists in the darkest of spaces.
That is Unstoppable by Design.
So I’m shaping two offers — both forged through lived experience:
Career Pivots
For women facing personal or professional change who need help rebuilding, rebranding, and restarting.
Project Leadership in Change
For delivery professionals navigating volatile environments and complex transformation, needing to reset and drive clarity under pressure.
Both paths share the same foundation: Fear of the unknown. And both require the same strategy: A step-by-step plan to reclaim confidence, capability, and direction.
If this resonates with you, I’d love to know.
If it feels too personal — I understand. But this is personal. It’s taken me time to find this voice. And I’m proud of every uncomfortable word that brought me here.
Because it means I’m building something honest. Something human. Something unstoppable — by design.
