If attendees take one message from The Seven-Year (Sw)itch, it’s that change isn’t failure, it’s part of the cycle of a full life. We all hit points where we feel restless in our careers, relationships or personal lives. Too often, we beat ourselves up for it or jump blindly into the next thing. What I want readers to see is that these moments are predictable. They follow a pattern. And if you can recognise the itch before it takes over, you can make smarter, braver choices about what comes next. My hope is that people walk away with a sense of relief, that there’s nothing “wrong” with them for wanting more, and with the tools to handle that restlessness in a way that builds rather than breaks. You can’t stop the itch, but you can choose how you scratch it.
