Remembering What’s Essential Amidst everything—in the middle of all that’s chaotic and painful about the world—what’s essential to your life? What truly matters now?
What We Think We’re Allowed Money was never really about money. It was about safety, dignity, and proving you're good enough. Jerry Colonna on the beliefs that quietly run our decisions long after we've achieved success, and how to rewrite them.
For One Who Is Tired of the Fire Burnout is not a badge of honor. It is not evidence of worth. It is a signal. A signal that you are not meant to be consumed. You are meant to be here. Alive. Whole. Listening to your soul's deepest longings.
Finding Kinfolk In his essay, Jerry Colonna shares his reflections on finding kinfolk—those who feel like family, even if they aren’t. It’s a meditation on grief, grace, and the power of connection in times of uncertainty.
