Reflections on the Art of Being Human at Work.

Big Feelings and the Compulsion To Work What fuels your relationship with work? If you’re not working, what happens for you? What does your organization or workplace culture say about work-life balance, and how does everyone at the office behave regarding work-life balance? What are the unspoken office rules about how we work?
Building Resilience Science tells us that the best time to meditate is not when it’s easy. Bringing mindfulness and perhaps even a pocket meditation for recentering to the situations when you are getting off-kilter, ungrounded, and upregulated are the moments that create more lasting change.
The Body at Work When you have a chronic illness or chronic pain, not only does your ability to navigate life feel slippery, but you feel like you get through a basic day held together by the metaphorical providence of bandaids and a prayer.
From Both Sides Regret gives you a chance to see things from both sides. The one you lived through, and the retrospective. Pausing to reflect on what was or has been allows us to see what we’ve learned from the vantage point of where we are now.
Where The Flowers Grow Shared leadership is counter to the image of the leader at the top of the pyramid, and more in line with servant leadership. At deeper layers, this way of leading has a quality of inclusion and equity.
Finding Your Ground We’ve all been there: the feeling of groundlessness. By coming back home to ourselves, we feel more steady. The key is to unhook from the ride our anxiety takes us on.
Taking Joy Into Your Hands Experiencing joy doesn’t make us disloyal to our pain. But a life focused solely on the various sufferings that grace our humanity leaves out the other even more juicy parts of a wholly-lived, soulful life. 
When Your Soul Comes To Take You Back Learning to build awareness of our nervous system also allows us to learn its wisdom and lean into it when the going gets tough, and the emotional currents are rough. Here, we learn to return to our very self so that we can ask: Where am I, now? Who am I now? What do I need to return to?
The Ones That Stand Behind You How often do you connect with those who came before you? What did they live through? What were their unfulfilled dreams? What stories are still alive in your family to this day? What is unknown?
