Hey, I'm Rylan

There’s a famous quote by Albert Einstein that reads:

“Once you stop learning, you start dying.”

Well, I had the privilege of learning that the hard way back in November 2021, when I ran a failed experiment and almost didn’t make it back.

I had to relearn how to live, from walking and talking to solving puzzles. resuming engineering writing code

But the humbling journey of recovery became the foundation of everything I do today

Recovery isn’t just about surviving. It’s about rebuilding, redefining, and finding strength in new places.

When life gives you lemons...

Now I write to help others rebuild—whether it’s recovering from burnout, overcoming illness, or simply finding your footing again.

I aim to create a space that I would have wanted during my recovery.

Sharing insights, helpful resources, personal stories, challenges, practical tools, and honest reflections on everything I have learned and am learning.

I hope to provide value, spark curiosity, and encourage transformation one step at a time. I hope to show that there is a benefit to starting from scratch
