​Why I’ve started giving up on my goals​

Today’s post is a vulnerable one, but I felt it felt important to share. It’s a life lesson I believe many can relate to. In a recent chat with my therapist, she threw me a curveball: What if you were single for the rest of your life? 🀯

β˜€οΈ Quotes & Inspiration

I was really inspired by this interview with bell hooks about her relationship with Buddhism. I resonate deeply wither her take on how it isn't enough for progressives to just deconstruct the things we don't want.

I used to believe that progressive people could critique the dualities and dissolve them through the process of deconstruction. But that turns out not to be true. With the resurgence of forms of black nationalism that say white people are bad, black people are good, we see an attachment to notions of inferiority. Dualities serve their own interests.

πŸ“• Interesting & fun shares

  • πŸŽ₯ Elizabeth Gilbert's talk on creativity. I recently re-watched this talk (it's my favorite TED Talk of all time!). I found myself being moved to tears for almost the entire talk. 😭 If you're working on a creative project, I suggest (re-)watching it!
  • πŸ”‰ 7 surprising truths about attachment theory - I rarely go more than a few days without talking about attachment theory. My dear friends Jessica & Josh just dropped the latest episode of their podcast.
  • 🌊 Feminine Climate Leadership - Jess Serrante (another badass coach and dear friend) is leading a 4-month leadership coaching program. This is her fourth cohort and every group so far has been incredibly impactful for folks. Starts in a couple of weeks!
  • πŸ˜‚ My favorite funny video from 2022: "I want to be a marshmallow."
    ​

🌲 Upcoming programs

  • COMING SOON: 6-month coaching cohort for executive directors: Keep your eyes peeled in the next couple of weeks. I'll be announcing my new program for Executive Directors of social impact organizations who want to bring more ease and clarity to their work for change. It'll be an intimate cohort of folks. If you're interested, reply to this email and I'll make sure to send you a link directly when it opens up!

Big hugs,
