Can you be a taste-making generalist? 💅 I think so. Today I asked ChatGPT: How do I get paid for my taste? And while 98% of it was useless, I enjoyed the prompt: What does my taste do?

I’m curious about the term “Generalist” Because, as someone who’s been searching for “the right words” in all that I can do, I feel seen and encompassed by this word. Often, people see me as the most competent person in the room. And I feel like there is literally nothing I can’t do.

Nicky Haslam, a prolific UK interior designer and socialite, has a plastic bird scarer from B&Q (think Home Depot) that he spray-painted white. Most people who see it in his home assume it’s an 18th-century porcelain statue.

I am very interested right now in using the 3D to make behaviour change. Aka, rather than introducing frameworks, meditations, or new ways of thinking, I’m much more interested in what I can move in the three-dimensional, tactile, and earth element to initiate change. Avoiding mental discipline altogether.

I visited my dear friend Pini’s 4th floor flat in Berlin, where I undertook a gardening development project of her balcony. Using my development strategy of 80/10/10 (see my last post for reference), here’s how it went down . . .

I’m obsessed with betterment: personal, professional, spatial, relational – you name it, I’m into it. I have found with friends, family and clients that when they ask for my help, they see their project as half-baked; sitting at 50%.

Are you land-centred or human-centred? Places I don't like because they feel too human-centred include: strip malls, Las Vegas, ski resorts and golf courses. Places I absolutely loved, yet I felt restricted in my relationship with the land because of my limitations as a human, include: Scottish Highlands, Iceland, Canadian Rockies

To end my 5 week stint in Europe, my friend Kristin Borlinghaus took me for German dumplings. It was my final night in Berlin, so I loved the idea of celebrating with something very German. Also in honour of my last name, I jumped at the opportunity to delight in ancestral food.

I write this to you, hours before I step foot on a plane and enter a 1-month portal in Europe. To leave you with something divine, I wanted to share 2 videos that rocked my world last month and continue to imprint on my psyche today. May your May be filled with growth, blossoming, and earthly abundance 🌿

I have a VERY strong design philosophy when it comes to architecture. I believe THE MOST EFFECTIVE interiors represent and authentically embody the surrounding landscape. And by “effective,” I mean resonant, grounding, supportive, and inspiring.

I often wonder why someone would choose to listen to me. In a world where anyone is at our fingertips – what makes me so special?! And also . . . why not me? This is a tension point in my being and by naming it I am on the journey to accepting it.

I tested and reviewed 6 of the top newsletter platforms [Mailchimp, Flodesk, MailerLite, Cyberimpact, Kit (previously ConvertKit), and Squarespace] to see which was the easiest to use, had the best design features, and provided the most value ~ 🤓

Two Sundays ago, I did a presentation with Recess Calgary's Show N' Tell (shout out to Tyson). My presentation oriented around Butterfly Pea Powder, which is blue and I wore a blue t-shirt, underneath a blue sweater and a blue scarf. I had blue makeup and talked a lot about the throat chakra.

This month’s newsletter is all about potions! January through March hasn’t felt monumental, as the defrosting of my hibernation has taken place. However, what has accompanied this gentle transition are the potions that have made their way to me.

This is the official launch of Season 3!!! In this brief episode, I cover two things. The first is I really have no idea what happened with Season 2 – and why I like the mystery. of it all The second is we are back for a label-less Season 3 – and what that entails.

About a month ago, James Cannell accidentally sent me Sal Khan's 2015 TED Talk “Let’s teach for mastery –– not test scores” when he meant to send me Kahn's original talk from 2011, “Let’s use video to reinvent education”.

Why Millennials and Gen Z Are Rethinking Work 🐣 You know when you have one of those instant scary thoughts that you quickly brush away but you also know there was a haunting truth in it?!

This is a concept I am currently using to evaluate the decisions in my life. You see, I previously entertained mediocrity and chaos. I was The Queen of “making something work”.

I have a cooler - you know, the ones you use for picnics or BBQs – it’s nothing seemingly special. But you see, it is also a keeper of kindling. A magical chest. As the seasons change, I gather bits within it to burn…

I started working with Internal Family Systems (IFS) at the end of last year. The most drastic change that has happened since I started tending daily to my younger parts is my disinterest in wanting to be absorbed into other people’s businesses. Now let me explain . . .
