Does everything you’re carrying still belong to you?

BREAKING UP WITH STRESS is a live guided experience for women over 40 who are ready to take a closer look at what they’re carrying and decide what comes next.

Bring one burden and leave with one decision, the words to communicate it, and a next step you’ve already practiced.

Happy First Day of School! 🍎📚🎉

A new school year brings new schedules, new expectations, new classrooms, and a whole lot of moving pieces.

As we welcome another year of learning and growth, let’s make room for something else: CALM! We’re welcoming calm into our homes, classrooms, and schools, and into the way we lead, teach, parent, and learn. Raising Calm™ begins with the practice of PAUSE. ♥️

Some of us have been carrying stress longer than we stayed in certain relationships.

We handle things, solve problems, say yes, and make ourselves available. But does everything you’re carrying still belong to you?

BREAKING UP WITH STRESS is a 60-minute live guided experience for women over 40 who are ready to name their stress, examine the pattern, and decide what comes next.

Bring one burden and leave with one decision, the words to communicate it, and a next step you’ve already practiced.

The Last Living Libraries: What AI Can’t Learn 🎉

So much of what we know comes from what we’ve lived: the wisdom we’ve gained, the stories we carry, and the very experiences that shape us year after year.

Yes, AI can know a lot. BUT there are some things you just can’t put into Chat or Claude…you MUST live to understand! Take it from someone who’s lived eight decades. 😉

Exciting news! 🎉 Our proposal, The Last Living Libraries: What AI Can’t Learn, has been selected for community voting for SXSW 2027.

Together, Benita Johnson and I are bringing a conversation about something deeply human: the wisdom, stories, experiences, and knowledge we carry that cannot simply be replicated by technology. Now, we’re asking our community to help us bring this conversation to the SXSW stage. South by Southwest Music Conference and Festival (SXSW)

🗳️ Vote for our session: https://participate.sxsw.com/flow/sxsw/sxsw27/community-voting-sxsw/page/community-voting/session/1783434632304001um6Z Voting is open through August 23.

If this conversation resonates with you, we’d love your vote. And if you know someone who should hear this conversation, share it with them, too.

Let’s bring this conversation to big stage. Texas, here we come! 🤠
