What would you do with a more spacious day? What if instead of five minutes of downtime littered throughout your day, you had more. So much more. You didn’t wake up and jump right into work. You didn’t finish that work and get right to errands. You weren’t constantly behind. Constantly “swimming” just to stay above water. Constantly so full...

The past few months haven’t been easy for anyone. And no one here needs me to remind them why. Our day-to-day has been turned upside down. There’s a reckoning happening. Vulnerabilities and injustices that have gone on for too long, often without the attention and wide-spread support needed in order to change them, are being exposed. Many of us are...

A few days ago, I watched my friend and mentor Latham Thomas challenge her white community over Instagram live to show up in real life for our Black friends – not just in blacked out email newsletters and instagram squares, but in our daily actions. I’ve been sitting with her thoughts, her urges to action, and her wisdom this week (please follow her work, it’s...

Am I happy?Can anyone be happy in this?Did I just lower the bar on happiness? Honestly, I don’t even know what that word “happy” even means right now.

Bad days happen. Stressed days happen. Shitty days happen. Numb days happen. Just fine days happen. And some good ones occasionally, too. But the feeling I’m hearing the most from what we’re all facing – no matter what the individual situation looks like – is completely, utterly, overwhelmed. Overwhelmed because there’s too much happening too quickly. Too much changing. Because...

I cried three separate times in a 24-hour period last week. About three separate issues. Related to three separate people. Snotty, hands-over-the-face, melt downs.
