Dear Ones, Many of you said my email from last week LANDED, especially where I spoke to these threshold times that we are living in: "We live in a f'd up economy when people are literally getting paid bonuses to build better bombs, obfuscate justice, forcibly abduct and disappear people, exploit workers more efficiently, and, and, and... (sadly, we could fill in the blanks here for days and not be finished)." Today I want to invite you to feel somatically into the metaphor around living and...

Dear Reader, I've connected with many badass women working in permaculture. One is Kendra, CEO of LadyBug EarthCare. Kendra started her biz years ago and it took off, exploded basically. That's a good problem to have, right? Because so many women I talk to have the opposite problem: they start a biz and don't find eager customers and their biz limps along. Well, Kendra and I connected because trying to keep up with her business growth and ALL the THINGS as a biz owner in a new field had...

Dear Reader. It's Solstice this Friday, and with everything going on in my life and the world, I am so looking forward to my retreat ritual that I've practiced over a decade now: I go offline and reflect on these 4 questions: In this process, I aim to reconnect with Source and be radically open and present to what is trying to emerge through me. I also aim to root into fierce compassion... meaning: If I take a plain look at what's present, I may hear confirmations, or I may discern that...

Dear Reader. Are you feeling just sick about what is going on in the world? Me too. And here's my take on the root causes of the polycrises unfolding right now. I'll share it here with the request that you test it through your own experience: Our economy arises from the investments of our life energy that each of make each day through our work. It's that simple. And, ugh. And with the dominant systems accelerating the erosion of life, instead of giving advice about how to change your career,...

Who do you need to become to serve the Great Turning? Dear Reader, Are you feeling that grief and change are themes so alive right now? And, what do they have to do with your livelihood? Soooo much.

Dear Reader, Do you want to explore questions like: What does wealth that supports LIFE look like? Feel like? How does it differ from conventional wealth? Can wealth be regenerative? What role does a regenerative right livelihood play in cultivating regenerative wealth? These are just a few of the themes we will explore when I talk with Laura Oldanie. I so deeply respect and appreciate how she has figured out her life and livelihood path, and so I invited her to share about it with me, and...

Dear Reader, A big part of my work is rooted in shifting towards paradigms of thinking and being that allow us to be regenerating Life through our work. I'm continually diving deeper on this, and wanted to invite others to join me; so I wrote the first of a series of articles on Medium where I ask these and other provocative questions: What if work wasn’t a way to sell your labor to earn the means for your existence? What if Work was a way to inquire in each moment into this question: “What...

Dear Friends, In an email I sent you last month titled "Don't Compete. Cultivate!" I shared that I recently received a lovely invitation from Silvia DiBlasio and Della Duncan to participate as a guest speaker in their Cultivating Regenerative Right Livelihoods course. In that process, I was requested to submit the usual bio and headshot. I used it as a developmental opportunity--to stretch into thinking about our default expectations, and what paradigms give rise to them. In other words, I...
