You’re tired of the small talk.

If someone asks, “So, what do you do?” at a gathering, at this point you just excuse yourself to go find a snack. [Yep, been there.]

You’re craving connection, but need it to feel authentic and not exhausting.

You want to be around others.

You want to share, listen deeply, play, and connect.

And yet, you’re tired.

You feel lonely even though you’re constantly plugged in.

You make excuses at the last minute about why you can’t show up or do the thing.

You are absolutely not alone.

We live in a world that values instant gratification, approval from others, and traditional ‘success’ (money, power, cis-hetero-normative relationship structures, big houses, fancy jobs, the list goes on).

What if we built a world that took a more holistic and nuanced view of ‘success’?

One that valued our deep and authentic relationships, our ability to show up and care for ourselves and one other?

A world that valued play, pleasure, joy, creativity, and love as a baseline?

I truly believe this kind of world is possible…

…and that we can create and live it on a daily basis, starting now.
