#DigitalDetox

I was in the middle of closing the biggest deal of my career.
A $12 million contract.
Three time zones.
A hundred slides.
And then the wifi went down.
My laptop screen froze.
My hotspot failed.
My heart stopped.
I sat in the Starbucks bathroom for an hour.
Crying.
Not because I missed the deadline—but because I had built my entire identity around “always being available.”
That moment shattered me.
And rebuilt me.
I learned that your most valuable asset isn’t your internet connection.
It’s your ability to stay connected when there’s no connection at all.
Because in the silence between networks, you hear what really matters.
The wifi being down wasn’t a failure of infrastructure.
It was a lesson in presence.
