2025 - another one of those years where I look back and wonder how I managed to fit it all in.
It’s been a full one. A big one. And while I won’t bore you with the details, the pace of the past few weeks has made something very clear to me: how valuable time has become.
For a long time, wealth was measured in money, status, or visibility. But increasingly, at least in the West, time feels like the real currency.
The ability to rest.
To think.
To spend time with family.
To choose how our days are shaped.
In a culture that glorifies busyness and productivity, having time now signals a different kind of wealth altogether.
And during these midlife / perimenopausal years, this awareness seems to sharpen even more. We begin to reflect on how time has been spent, where it’s been lost, and how intentionally we want to use what lies ahead.
Lately, this has been influencing how I work, what I say yes to, and how I show up - both personally and professionally.
I don’t have neat conclusions yet. Just a growing sense that time is not something to be filled, but something to be honoured.
