The Long Version About Back to Senses
This isn’t a productivity newsletter.
It’s not here to help you hack your way to inbox zero or squeeze more output from your already-fried nervous system.
Back to Senses is for the ambitious overthinkers.
The ones who are tired of optimizing and still feeling stuck.
The ones who’ve done the self-help rounds, read the books, tried the systems… and still feel a low-key ache:
“There’s something off, but I can’t quite name it.”
You’re not broken.
You’re just running a story that might not be yours anymore.
What This Is
This is a space to pause.
To question.
To see the invisible scripts shaping your life—and start writing new ones.
It’s about learning to feel again.
To trust again.
To come back to yourself in a world that constantly pulls you away.
You’ll find notes on:
Reclaiming agency in a world of noise
Story-shifting, belief-questioning, identity-shedding
Clarity in complexity
Emotional resilience for the age of whiplash
Small, intentional experiments that move the needle
… and the occasional rant on why self-optimization might be killing your soul.
Why I Write This
Because I know what it’s like to be smart, curious, and stuck.
To chase clarity while quietly spiraling.
To overthink your way into inaction.
To believe you’re the problem—when it’s really the story you’re swimming in.
I don’t have all the answers.
But I’ve learned how to ask better questions.
And I believe we don’t need more willpower—we need better scaffolding for our humanity.
Come Back to Your Senses.
Not to be more productive.
To be more whole.
More awake.
More alive.
Who’s behind it?
I like to think I’m the human equivalent of a psychedelic.
Not here to fix you. Not here to optimize you. But to help you see your own story—clearly enough to change it, if it’s no longer serving you.
Most of us are living inside invisible scripts. Stories we didn’t write, but follow anyway. I help ambitious overthinkers (hi, I’m one too) get unstuck by unraveling the beliefs, identities, and assumptions keeping them in place.
My work blends systems thinking, emotional resilience, self-inquiry, and small, powerful experiments that build agency in real time—not in theory.
I’m not here to tell you what to do. I’m here to help you see—so you can choose differently.
Because transformation isn’t about downloading better habits.
It’s about telling yourself a more useful story.
