Clearing Space for What’s Next

Some bridges are meant to burn… let them.

As my oldest brother says, you can build new ones.

I’ve been thinking about this lately - how we hold onto connections and systems that no longer serve us. Out of loyalty. Out of fear. Sometimes because we think it’s all we have. But every bridge that burns clears space for something better.

Something more aligned with who you’re becoming.

In building inclusive, accessible spaces, we learn that sometimes we have to dismantle what’s broken before we can build what’s equitable. The same is true for our careers.

So if a bridge is burning right now, let it. Grieve it. Learn from it. Then keep going and rest when you need to.

What we think is the end is just the beginning.

Don’t lose hope. You’re not starting over. You’re starting wiser.
