    Allowing Yourself To Grieve

    Six months ago we had some things come into our life that were difficult. Extremely difficult. We lost someone unexpectedly and then someone we know was diagnosed with a difficult illness. On top of that, there were some medium-evocative stuff: my kid moved into his junior year of high school which made me start thinking about empty nesting…I was noticing how it takes long for my body to recover after a hard workout… and recently a lot of my work has been changing, due to the pandemic. We are empathizing with the extreme suffering out there for the victims families and for healthcare workers. The theme that holds all of these together is Grieving.

  3. Supporting Caretakers & Ourselves

    Supporting Caretakers & Ourselves

    I wanted to share this interview with you all, in this challenging time. It's an interview I conducted this past week with my dear friend Laura van Dernoot Lipsky of TraumaStewardship.com. She'a an expert in caring for people who care for people in trauma—like nurses and first-responders. I'd wanted to talk with her because I've been feeling so much concern for my friends and family in health care, and like all of us I've been disturbed by what we've been reading about the workers in health care in Italy, Seattle, NYC and beyond. I wanted her advice on how to support them. In talking to her, though, I came to realize that her methods for supporting caretakers is also excellent advice for how we all can support OURSELVES through this. I hope you find this as helpful as I did. And of course please share it with anyone whom you think might benefit from it. Stay safe, and look out for one another, Katie

    Growing, Growing, Gone

    Why entrepreneurs always move onto the next thing ("Ooo! Squirrel!") and why you should not stay to slog it out, even when your mother's like, "But you were finally making money!" Does this sound like you? You're bored easily, you always have new ideas, you're not sure which to pick, you start things and don't always (maybe never?) work to completion before you get excited about some shiny new object. And you're making everyone around you, um, crazy? You are a creator, you do a million things because that's your gift to the world. Want to stop feeling bad about that??
