It’s easy to slip into the belief that I could live here, stay here forever. Stay square in the middle of this chilly 5-in-the-morning moment, in a super cozy fleece, bare-footed in the kayak, mostly floating amidst the sounds of nature, waking up.
But that not-wanting-it-to-end is attachment; and the not-wanting-the- next-moments-to-come (with whatever they contain) is aversion; and BOTH of those keep me from deeply experiencing this moment...
The truth is that it’s easy to see the beauty here. It’s easy to experience sweet peace here. And, we think, harder to experience when the moments don’t appear like this or sound like this.
So, I’m practicing not only allowing myself to be filled by these moments but also staying with the moment, which is continuously unfolding and ever-changing and unknown. And there’s so much beauty and freedom in that - in this life, unfolding.

The support system you always wanted, but never had time to cultivate because you were in head-down and hustle mode. Women, like you, who have often been the “only”, who show up every month to cheer you on and keep you focused. Your very own cohort of driven professionals helping you solve the unique challenges of our time.
HOW SWELL WORKS: Groups of no more than 6 members - curated based on life stage, as well as personal and professional experience come together monthly to support one another.
You are assigned to a small group (cohort) based on your response to our intake form
Your cohort is matched with you based on a number of professional and personal criteria
You’ll be matched with women at your level, but not necessarily your industry or your same career path
Each cohort meets once per month for a 90 Minute Virtual Session Hosted on Zoom with our facilitators

Undoing Unconscious Racism
Workshop Series & Racial Affinity Group Work UPDATES:
The second cohort of this workshop series started this past weekend. This wonderful group of individuals showed up with courage, vulnerability, and a fire to create deep and lasting change in the realm of unconscious racism and with the goal of racial justice. It is such an honor to now have close to 50 people working together in this way.
If you are interested in participating in the 3rd cohort of this workshop series & racial affinity group work, please email me to let me know. Next cohort will begin in the early Fall.
