Ducks.

Ducks. I'm a duck.

I've been thinking about ducks a lot lately.

You know? That ancient metaphor about ducks gliding smoothly on the surface while paddling for their lives under the water where we can't see.

That's me.

And?

I think that's so, so many attorneys, type-A folks, high achievers, first/eldest born, perfectionists, and more.

To the world, we appear to have it all together.

Under the surface? We're paddling for our lives.

And, we're tired, exhausted, burnt out.

And, we're often scared--to lean on others, to let a ball drop, to show our vulnerability.

The solution?

Pausing. Asking for help. Letting our feathers ruffle--no matter how hard or uncomfortable that feels. Showing up with vulnerability and authenticity in small steps that snow ball into genuine living over time.

Here's to all my fellow ducks out there. I see you. I am you.
