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 asked myself:
"What's the world view underpinning the expectation that we validate ourselves by showcasing our professional credentials?"
"And how does that shape how we engage in our livelihoods and economies?"
And I also asked,
"What if I first ground into a 'regenerate life' paradigm, and then from there, discern how I want to introduce myself?"
I wrote about this process, which I at first called an "UNbio," and I wrote about it on my Medium account.
In the process, I got clear that I didn't want name what I don't want, but to name what I'm desiring to call in.
The screenshot and title of the piece is below.
Please check it out!

The link above is my friend link, so it doesn't count against your Medium free article quota per month.
I'd love to hear if this approach to a "bio" resonates.
Let me know! You can email me at karryn@regenepreneurs.com.
Or in Medium, you can highlight passages that stand out; or "clap" up to 50 times.
If you feel moved to share the piece further, that will also spark more conversations. Thanks in advance if you decide to do that.
Here's where I shared about this on Instagram, and LinkedIn. It should be crossing to my biz Facebook account too.
I have two slots open for clients right now.
If you'd like to explore working with me, or get on my waiting list for later in 2023, sign up for a complimentary "Are We A Fit" session. (After you fill out that form, make sure to follow the link to a confirmation page with questions to help you get great value from our time together.)
After this session, folks say that they now have a clearer understanding of their next evolutions.
Do it soon! I'm leaving Feb 13 for a "Regen Biz Road Trip" in Mexico with a colleague there. If we decide to work together, you'll have the front row seat!
Warmest regards,
Karryn

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. 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). And therefore it's understandable that some days, it's just hard to metabolize all that is happening. It's painful that too many people's daily work is eroding our communities and beautiful living world. In...
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...
