As spring brings fresh inspiration, we’re planting some new seeds of our own—here’s what we’ve been up to!
What We're Reading:
The Next Day: Transitions, Change, and Moving Forward by Melinda French Gates, a philanthropist, businesswoman, and global advocate for women and girls, is a personal reflection rooted in storytelling. Within this piece, Melinda shares her own experiences to highlight the universal lessons about navigating crisis, embracing the unknown, and loosening the confines of perfectionism.
What We're Listening To:
Bon Iver’s album Sable, fABLE. OK, so this album starts with the theme of sad goodbyes, but transitions into the new possibilities that endings can bring. The songwriter, Justin Vernon, is a serious and deep soul and a bard for our time. With themes of change, coming to crossroads, and community, this album is a great listen! 😌🎶
What We've Been Watching:
HGTV has become a favorite on some of our screens, especially House Hunters International. Exploring the world through the eyes of couples looking for their home abroad leads to visions of travel and adventure, allowing us to escape to dreamy locations. A lovely gift of relief! 😉
What We've Been Doing:
We have been busy developing a new digital course for YOU, dear ones! This summer, we will launch our course, Picking up the Pieces and Moving on. In the course, we embrace the philosophy of Kintsugi, the ancient Japanese art of beautiful repair. Just like broken pottery is healed with golden threads, you will be guided through a journey of self-discovery and empowerment to integrate changes that are unfolding within and outside you.
We are excited to begin beta-testing a mini version of this course in an online format. Click here to find out more, and please email us here with any questions!
Here's a 90-second video that we prepared while applying for a grant with Melinda French-Gates' Pivotal Ventures Organization.

If you would like a sneak peek at the course, here is a fun exercise to help you embody your strengths!
Other than when we need to call 911, how often do we imagine the toll it takes on the lives of those whose job it is to save our own?
More relevant than ever these variable and volatile times call upon those who remain steadfast on the front lines of caring for our citizens no matter what.
Listen in while Dr. Michael Marks shares his own decades-long journey supporting the mental health of those who sacrifice their own lives in order to save others.
In this episode, Michael Marks distills what he’s learned about the women, men— the culture of first responders from veterans of foreign wars to the everyday civilian heroes who work in paramilitary cultures— the fire, police and EMT’s who put themselves into the fray between dire circumstances, their own safety— while supporting themselves and their families.
To see how Dr. Marks' resiliency tools help people in the field, check out this compelling video that he recently released. It will tug at your heart and fill it with gratitude.

“Celebrate endings—for they precede new beginnings.” — Jonathan Huie HAPPY HOLIDAYS! 2025 is right around the corner! We want to welcome this exciting chapter with open arms, while also soothing ourselves from the stress of the oncoming unknown. As the year winds down and the holidays beckon, the pace of life often accelerates. The demands of work, family gatherings, and end-of-year tasks can leave us feeling frayed at the edges. Amid this whirlwind, the practice of healthy soothing becomes...
The future is uncertain… but this uncertainty is at the very heart of human creativity. ~Ilya Prigogine Uncertainty We like to say that there’s value in uncertainty. LIving with the unknown has opportunity in itself. Initially, this is a hard concept to wrap your head around. Life. Doing it. Moving on a daily basis to take care of “what we have to do” in an ever-changing ratio with “what we’d like to do.” When we know where we’re going, we can proceed in an energetic or even tempered way....
