I had just wrapped up an inspired profile writing session and was still taking in the resilience and shine this client had shared. I went for a walk around the neighborhood to enjoy the afternoon sun and let it all settle.
About 500 feet from my house, I looked up and saw these beautiful mockingbirds, looking quite regal, perched on the bare branches of a plumeria tree. There was a single bright pink blossom blooming right where one of the birds sat.
I paused with the moment, thinking about how many times I’ve heard mockingbirds in South Florida on my afternoon walks. Not once had I seen them in such striking light or positioning. And it got me thinking about their songs.
These careful listeners take in a multitude of sounds as they look out over the landscape, and then they offer them back — refined, rhythmic, with a kind of poetic grace and ease.
That’s often how I feel when I offer profile writing support. Together, we take in the song — the sounds, the rhythms, the stories — and capture the essence each person carries in their backpack of life experiences. The ones they’ve already lived. The ones they dream of packing for. The ones that help them feel steady and uplifted along the path. And the ones they’re ready to leave behind.
We also get curious about the playlist they want to hear, and be heard in, as they move forward.
Writing a great profile is, ultimately, the art of filtering in and filtering out the soundscape you want for your life. It’s your song to sing from the depths of your heart. Your unique birdcall cast out into the universe, so that whoever is walking by feels touched by its beauty and pauses to step into the scene, just as I did when I saw these mockingbirds today.
If you’re looking for support in writing your song, I’m here. Some people feel ready to sing it out into the world for others to read. Others want to pause and write it just for themselves — as a kind of therapeutic massage, a gentle wordsmithing for the soul.

And I’d love to hear from you: when was the last time you paused while walking outside — a moment, an impression, something that stayed with you and spoke deeply? When you reply to these emails, I truly enjoy reading your words.
Thanks for being you out in the world.
