Your Move?
I was happy. I was doing great. Until I got restructured. Then I had the time to think, and something wasn't sitting right — something I couldn't name yet.
At some point, the script just stops working.
Not dramatically. Nobody announces it. One day you're knocking the plan out of the park — career, competence, keeping everything moving — and the next day you're sitting with a coffee that's gone cold, wondering: wait, what's this nagging feeling? If I don't know, how am I going to solve it!
If you've spent decades being the responsible one — at work, at home, for everyone else — and life just handed you unexpected breathing room you didn't ask for, this is written for you.
You are so good at handling what life asks of you that you keep moving past what you need. This is not a crisis. It's the Unscripted Middle — the space between the version of you that no longer fits and the one you have not met yet.
I'm JT. One Zoom call "restructured" me out of a 28-year executive career in tech — and instead of panic, I felt relief.
That was the part I didn't see coming. And couldn't stop thinking about.
So I started writing about it.
Most weeks, it circles one of three things: who I am now that the old script is gone, catching myself doing something I was absolutely certain I was too self-aware to do, or quietly sorting through what still fits and what expired without sending a notice.
Maybe one of those resonates for you right now.
Maybe none of them do. You'll know pretty fast.
No wellness theater. No ten steps to your highest self. No woman in linen telling you to breathe into your abundance.
Just one woman figuring out what still fits, what definitely doesn't, and why the whole thing is somehow funnier, more annoying, and taking up more brain processing than my ex-career ever did!
It will be a success for me when you comment: "That's ME!"
If this resonates with you, then you're in the right place.
Sunday 9:18 AM. Every week. No exceptions.
If someone in your life is in her own Unscripted Middle — send her here. There's a seat at the Table for her every Sunday.
Life Interrupted for a reason. Whatever your move is…
Make it unapologetically yours.
