How to want more without feeling guilty for new moms: honest answers for Englewood

Englewood · this week's honest page

Somewhere in Englewood tonight, someone will close the laptop on a full inbox, look around a house they truly love, and think: this is it, isn't it? That thought deserves an honest answer.

And this is Englewood: an established Sarasota-area community where the houses are cared for, the calendars are full, and the question 'is this all?' shows up right on schedule Which is exactly why this question lands differently here than anywhere else.

🎧 A note for Englewood readers (read for you)

“Ambition is not ingratitude.” — There Is a Fine Line Between Gratefulness and Complacency

Three questions Englewood readers dodge

What would you try if nobody would ever find out if you failed?
When did you last do something you weren't already good at?
What did you stop wanting — and was it a decision or a drift?

The gratitude / growth ledger

Two columns on paper: 'What I'm grateful for' and 'What I'm pretending not to want.'
You don't have to act on column two today. You just have to stop hiding it from yourself tonight.

The kindest thing you can do for the life you've built is refuse to let it become the last thing you build.

The size and the density

At 239 pages it respects your schedule without ever feeling thin — essays tight enough for a commute, deep enough that Englewood readers keep whole paragraphs taped to mirrors.

What Englewood readers want to know

Is this a religious book? No — it's a personal-growth memoir-essay hybrid with universal themes. Readers of any background (or none) quote it the same way.

Is it another hustle-culture book? The opposite. One of its most-quoted lines is literally 'This is not a hustle book.' It's about honest ambition, not grinding.
