🌴280. Reunion
This weekend marks a pretty wild milestone — it’s my 25-year high school reunion. Yep, class of 2000. I can’t quite believe it’s been that long.
I talk about what’s different this time around (spoiler: it’s being held at the actual school), what I noticed at our 10-year reunion (how everyone was still so themselves), and why I think personal development is really about unpeeling layers rather than completely transforming who we are.
I also explore the social dynamics of reunions: how a simple Facebook thread can transport you right back into the high school hierarchy, and why I’m choosing to approach this one with curiosity, not comparison.
Finally, I share a reframe for small talk: Instead of asking, “What do you do now?” — try asking, “What are you excited about?” (Thanks to Vanessa Edwards for that gem!)
I’ll report back next week with how it all goes. Until then, think about it:
If you walked back into your high school today, what parts of you would still shine through?
