Most of us were handed a script. Get in line. Sit still. Work hard. Buy a home. Build something stable. Stay there.
But what if stability is the biggest trap of all?
My new book, Downshifting: I Am Where I Am, is not about rebellion. It’s about clarity. It’s what happens when you stop pretending that ownership means safety, and begin questioning why movement is treated like failure.
This is not a self-help book. There are no checklists, no fake optimism, no productivity hacks. Just truths. The kind that come to you when everything else is stripped away.
Inside the book, I write about:
- The moment I walked away from a philosophy degree after one conversation that shattered my logic
- Why Plato’s cave is more than a metaphor… it’s a mirror
- How most people are just riding the same bus to nowhere
- Why Jesus, Buddha, Gandhi and others lived without fixed addresses… and what that means
- The modern myth of “home” and how it became a tool of emotional control
- Why stillness is an illusion and motion is the truth
- How presence can replace permission, and why you don’t need to prove where you are
This is for the person who never fit in. The one who moved too much. The one who was told to settle down. The one who stayed quiet in rooms that never felt right. The one who is not lost, but no longer interested in being found.
If you have ever felt trapped by success, this is for you.
If you are tired of living in someone else’s definition of stability, this is for you.
If you are ready to untie from everything that was supposed to make you whole, this is for you.

Let it sit with you. Let it break things open. Let it remind you that you don’t need to arrive anywhere to be free.
Because the truth is, you were never behind. You were just not where they told you to be.
And that changes everything.
