Hey friends, in this solo episode I am taking you along today's stream of consciousness about just wanting to play - exploring how I relate to responsibility, curiosity and adaptation through deeply uncertain times and wondering why we often make playfulness and responsibility another useless binary. What I've come to feels simple and beautiful, like something tangle to orient towards that can guide me through winter and beyond.  Enjoy!

Hey friends, it seems like this was a week of many solo episodes (I also talked about embracing upper and lower limits around money over on my business podcast: https://pinkwellstudio.com/2022/05/19/77-embracing-upper-and-lower-limits-around-money/). - in this one I wanted to talk about the darker parts of the last few years and how loss can really become a portal to other, better, sometimes insightful things. I find this hard to talk about because I don't want to stray into victim blaming or spiritual bypassing, yet there are these things about pain and shock that I think are important to say out loud and that I wish I had known sooner.  Overall, and I know I've been talking about this a lot, I wish we'd do more good grieving, because that is where the magic is. That is where we grow and avoid making the same mistakes over and over again. That is also where we really get to know ourselves and each other.  This episode comes with a content note for suicide, death, hospitalisation, break ups, sexual assault an

Hey everyone, ah I am so happy to share this conversation, truly. Ever since speaking to A.J.
