So Heart Core

Hi Friends,

My partner recently said something that stayed with me:

Never miss the season of growth.

That landed! We only have so many spring seasons in our lifetime. I find it energizing to be in a season of growth collectively, you know, as a species.

Here’s my question for you: What are you growing this season? What’s bringing more life to your everyday?

We went to a nursery to pick up some fresh flowers to literally add more life to the house (that’s the photo!)

Here’s what else is growing in mine:

• The Stress Protection Factor book is coming more alive word by word. Story by story. Chapter by chapter. The book is developing real character—including stories I've never told before. I've finished revising the first 4 chapters (out of 12) with my editor, who asks strict questions: Why is this story here? And so what? She makes sure everything flows and that I don’t get lost in rabbit holes I tend to go down. I love that honesty and precision. It's a true partnership.

My dear founding readers, it’s time to start beta-reading select chapters, and I will be reaching out to some of you with details as this book will be shaped by your feedback in real time before it gets published. Stay tuned!

• The heart rocks (which will accompany the book as tools and delights) are being actively found along the coast of San Diego, rehomed, and painted with love in collaboration with my dear friend and artist Anita, who creates stunning designs like the one below. These creative collaborations with friends that are unfolding are my favorite part of the whole process.

• Community of practice: The best way to learn and understand something is to directly experience it yourself. That's why I've started hosting live Stress Protection Factor (SPF) Skill-Building Sessions on Insight Timer ahead of the book launch to practice and learn together. Come hang out with me this Thursday in a laid-back afternoon SPF session; we will move through the mini SPF framework—Sense it. Pause it. Free it—for building well-being as a stress defense skill. You can RSVP and join here. See you there!

Be well,
