Hello, I’m Lyra.

Welcome to In Transit, Intentionally — a collection of reflections, detours, and soundtracks from a life lived somewhere between airports and epiphanies.

It took me a while to admit how much I rely on writing to process the world. It’s something I return to when life feels too full, or too quiet. Over time, it’s become a way to pause, notice, and keep track of the things that move me — sometimes literally, sometimes not.I

By day, I get to indulge my curiosity and learn from some of the brightest minds building our future at work.

This blog, however, is something slower. It’s where I document the in-betweens: quiet revelations, cultural snapshots, mental health check-ins, and the music that scores them all.

Travel is a big part of my life, not just for the sake of movement but for meaning. I’m drawn to place, people, and stories that help me understand how others live and, in the process, understand myself better, too.

I believe that kind of perspective makes us gentler with the world and with each other.

Even when i’m standing still, i feel in transit. I’m always looking for ways to live more intentionally. testing routines, letting go of old thinking, and figuring out how to build a life that’s both grounded and expansive.

It’s not always graceful. But I try to meet it with honesty and a sense of humour.

I didn’t get here on effort alone. Privilege and luck opened many doors. That’s why I believe in sharing what I’ve been given, and helping others find space to begin again, however many times they need to.

At the heart of it, I am an unfinished story.

And this blog is where I keep track of the view from the middle of things.

I hope you find something here that makes you think, or breathe easier, or simply feel less alone. If nothing else, i hope it makes you smile today.

in transit, intentionally,
