Updates on this space and me

Hey there. It’s been a LONG minute. Walk with me?

I have been grappling with what I have to give this community in so many ways. The pandemic and the past couple years have dropped big questions on my doorstep – Where do I find joy online? What do I have consistent energy for? What has worked and what do I keep trying to force? Am I a needed voice in a conversation or are there better voices? Am I the same person who created this space and this discussion about a soulful approach to getting shit done and navigating life?

(Click here to listen on Patreon instead) My last few recordings/posts about finding a planner have been focused around the planner itself, but on a recent drive home I found myself mulling over what’s truly important to me about the systems and tools that I choose and it’s ultimately about the relationship I need and…
