New Hindsight

At 29, I fell in love and made a completely rational, well-thought-out decision…

I packed everything I owned into a Mitsubishi Eclipse, left Milwaukee, and moved across the country to start a new life.

At the time, I had a master’s degree, strong opinions, and the homemaking skills of someone who could barely boil water without supervision. Naturally, I felt extremely prepared.

Spoiler: I was not.

Since then, my life has been a series of plot twists—some intentional, some not. New roles, new identities, new risks I didn’t fully understand until I was already in them.

Here’s the thing: I’ve tried a lot of things. Some stuck. Some absolutely did not.

And somewhere along the way, I realized—people love to call that “flaky.”

I don’t.

I think it’s called living.

New Hindsight is a space for all of that—the risks, the pivots, the uncomfortable starts, and the quiet realizations that only make sense after the fact.

This isn’t just about my story. It’s about creating a place where we can all get a little braver. Where trying something new isn’t embarrassing. Where walking away from something that doesn’t fit isn’t failure.

If you’ve ever felt the pull to change something, try something, or become someone new—but worried what people might think…

You’re in the right place.

Let’s figure it out together.
