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

A Williston edition · from the book

The bravest sentence a settled person in Williston can say isn't 'I want more.' It's 'I still do.'

And this is Williston: an established Burlington VT-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 why the honest answer has to start local, not generic.

🎧 A note for Williston readers (short audio)

“Gratitude and growth can coexist.” — There Is a Fine Line Between Gratefulness and Complacency

The line, as it appears most days

You're not waiting for permission — you're waiting for a crisis that never comes.
Everything is paid for except attention.
You call it contentment in public and 'ugh, is this it?' in traffic.

The two-column dinner question

At dinner this week, ask someone you trust: 'What am I better at than I was a year ago?' Sit with the pause before they answer.
Write the pause down. The topic of the pause is your next move in Williston.

The goal isn't to despise the life you have. It's to love it enough to keep growing inside it.

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 Williston readers keep whole paragraphs taped to mirrors.

What Williston readers want to know

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.

I'm in a good season. Should I skip it? Those are the readers it's most for. It's about keeping momentum through comfort, not waiting for a crisis to start growing.
