I love this for 100 different reasons Alex. The permission slip is *chefs kiss*. I agree, so many people are just looking for someone to say, "hey, it's cool, go ahead and do the thing." Myself, included, still today. It's also amazing watching your growth. I grinned at the beginning to hear about all the calls you're on and interviews your doing. It's funny how quickly things change once you give yourself permission to do the thing!
Thank you Alex. Your permission slip came at just the right time. Tomorrow I am going to do the fucking thing. I am both hopeful and nauseous with trepidation. But I'll do it. (Also, I loved this article, I love your voice and all of the articles I've read of yours. So thanks for all of it)
Wow, so stoked to hear this Kate! Proud of you. I hope that the thing went wonderfully. In my experience, the hope/nausea combo is a signal that it's the right thing :)
This piece is exactly what i needed at this time. Thank you so much for inking and echoing my thoughts beautifully. I'm so glad I found your page! (Off to go binge read your other articles!)
I had this essay saved in my read it later app and I opened it randomly. It was exactly what I needed to read after the difficult conversation - and reality check - I just had. Thank you for writing this!!!
I appreciate the obvious, but oh-so-easy-to-forget reminder that there are always steps present that we can take now that will move us in the direction of what we want. And thanks for the permission slip! Do you also write hall passes? #crazyVoodooShitHappensHere
This came at the right time. Although I am not ready for the permission slip quite yet, I might print it out and use it sometime within the next year. Who wrote your permission slip?
Like Rick said, this is gold. So well written, so fun to read, and so empowering.

And thanks for the kind words!
Literally printed out the permission slip.
Hell yeah
This was great, thanks for the chuckle at the end 😂

Thrilled to hear that it found you when you needed it.

10/10! Really like this concept!
Love this Alex. I wish more people would grab that permission slip and just TRY what they want to do. Pivot! See what happens. Then course correct.
Ha ha loved the unique style of the post. Permission received with thanks 😂!
*standing ovation*
I’m going to be reading this many times this week.
