            <description><![CDATA[&#160;Most people expect misalignment to announce itself loudly. They wait for a breakdown. A clear failure. A moment dramatic enough to justify change. Something undeniable that removes ambiguity and gives them permission to act. But that’s not how it usually happens. More often, misalignment lives in the middle. Not in crisis. Not in clarity.

            <description><![CDATA[Most people don’t struggle with smoke because it’s confusing. They struggle because it looks familiar. Smoke doesn’t arrive as a warning. It arrives as a variation of what you already know. You’ve felt something like this before. You’ve moved through it before. You’ve survived it before. So you assume you know what to do. The problem is that smoke rarely announces what kind it…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Most people don’t notice smoke right away. There’s no alarm. No collapse. No obvious reason to stop. Life keeps moving. And because it does, you assume you should too. Smoke doesn’t feel like confusion. It feels like mild resistance. A sense that things take more effort than they should. That decisions linger longer than expected. That momentum exists, but doesn’t quite carry you the…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[By the time I counted them, the number surprised me. Eighteen jobs in fifteen years. None of them were disasters. None of them ended in flames.
