Stumbling Towards Clarity

20 years in aviation ➡️ Sabbatical ➡️ Self-employment

I came to Southwest Airlines straight out of college with no specialized skills or ambition. I had no aviation or business background. I had never used Excel. I had barely flown on an airplane.

Yet, somehow managing airline operations became an addiction and turned this Gen-X slacker into a workaholic.

Cancer changed that, for a while.

Several years later, when COVID-19 decimated my industry, I grabbed the golden buyout parachute, jumped out of my 20-year aviation career, and started a year-long sabbatical. After a year of experimentation, I founded Resolve With Clarity to offer airline crewing consulting and mediation services.

I’m still figuring out how to have a healthy relationship with work, and what that even means.

As I stumble towards clarity, I’m sharing what I’ve learned

If you:

• Have a complicated relationship with work

• Are navigating a health diagnosis while working

• Feel like you’re on the outskirts of “normal” screaming, “Why does this feel so unnatural???”

…you’re in the right place. Let’s hang out and share ideas.

I live in Dallas, TX, USA. I’m happiest when chasing sunsets, hiking in a redwood forest, or on the dance floor.
