As this year comes to a close, the storm doesn’t feel abstract anymore.

From conversations in my recent travel to Dubai and Abu Dhabi to the quiet patterns emerging back home, I found myself noticing the same undercurrent everywhere I went. People are bracing. Families are recalibrating. Financial stress is no longer isolated, it’s global. There's a growing sense that it's time for a financial reset.

In this year-end reflection, I share what travel revealed about human commonality, why rising searches around mortgages and bankruptcy matter, and how demographic shifts and climate pressures are quietly reshaping our financial reality.

And I'm excited for the upcoming release of my second book, The Storm, exploring how social change, economic stress, and environmental forces are converging and why moments of disruption often create the clearest opportunities for reset.
