If you're the founder, you're the future The easiest future of work is the future you create at the beginning. The one that you establish when you start a company. Everything else is a battle to change established norms. Systems like to stay the same. So make one you want to keep--sounds easy, no? Join me, Leela Sinha, for a showcase of the best ideas out there for changing the way we work (and live) for the better. If you're a leader, if you're a founder, if you're an executive who just doesn't believe the way it's always been is the way it has to be, this podcast is for you. We'll talk ethical growth, real change, and networking that really IS about relationships. We'll get creative about solving the problems that make people quit by deconstructing the assumptions that keep us stuck and asking over and over: where does the power need to pivot? How could this be better...and the big one: where do I have the power to change it? If you're sick of feeling like you have to trade in your integrity to reach the top of your game, tune in.

    honoring the intensity of intensive grief

    "This is the hard part about being intensive: that people have told us all our lives that we're dangerous. And mostly, I will tell you that we are not. That we just need to find the right structures. But the size of our emotional experience means that sometimes we can push ourselves over the edge." Grief is enormous. And there is a lot to grieve. And, as intensives, our ways of expressing grief are often unwelcome (at best) in an expansive culture. How do we honor the intensity of our grief, and process it. And also- how do we remember that we can do that, and so much else, in a community? How do we let others take up our burdens so that we can grieve and rest? And how do we take up those burdens for others? As usual, we will look for answers in community, in relationship, and in the earth. And let's also talk about how to keep our grief from harming us, physically. Because there is a shade of truth in phrases like 'my stomach is tied up into knots." And that truth can be very painful indeed. Relevant Links: About the Tank Man from Tiananmen Square: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank_Man Leela's Substack!
