Hi Friends!

It’s 2pm, and I still haven’t gathered enough spoons to get out of bed today. But my window says it’s a lovely sunny day, and I’m trying to convince myself to go for a walk.

So, instead of wasting time writing some convincing reason why you should keep scrolling and clicking and exploring the stuff below, I’m gonna trust that you’ll keep scrolling and clicking and find at least one delightful thing that will get you out of bed and into the sunshine this month.

This month, we wrapped up our Transitions Collab Lab and started the new Trickster Resistance Lab. I hope you’ll join the chat group; I’d love your thoughts!

(please don’t try to catch up on old conversations – leap in, and we’ll catch you up!)

Aside from that, our only urgent deadline-esque item is that enrollment for the Winter Incubator closes on 12/31/24, and we have one spot left. Members who registered early got to pick the schedule, but we have a good range of gathering times, so I hope you can join us this year.

Supporting Kids Through Transitions

The Transitions Collab Lab tools include children’s stories, caregiver bingo, a podcast, printable planners, reflection activities, parenting guides, handy-dandy checklists, and more.

Particularly for neurodivergent families like ours who rely on routine - change can be hard. So let’s pool our resources and make this a little easier for each other.

Trickster Resistance Lab

This winter, we investigate fun and clever ways to survive and thrive under encroaching fascism. Using clever strategies and wit, we shall poke holes in structures of power that our oppressors will never see coming.

A Guide To Becoming Dangerous

Let your enemies quake in their boots – for they shall fear you and everything you stand for! MwwaAhaHahHAHHAahAHa!!!!

Normally, you’d have to join the Winter Incubator to get access to silly bonus exercises like ‘How To Become Dangerous: A Guide To Disrupting Inertia Spirals.’ But I’m feeling mischievous.

Use this guide to mkae trouble for your local book banners, multi-billionaire CEOs, and extortive landlords.

One spot left in the Winter Incubator!

We all need recharging communities where we don’t have to be the helper, the fixer, and the one who has to hold everything together.

Not everyone has access to neurodivergent & disability-friendly communities who care deeply about smashing the kyriarchy.

If you’re tired of carrying all this alone or need a community where you are not the default helper – we’d love to weave you into the tapestry of our community collective.

January Toolkit & Story Bingo

Regardless of how talented, resilient, and resourceful you are, sometimes the chaos grows beyond your control. Luckily, January is the time to brush up on tenacity and resilience when we stumble and fail.

Tiny Steps For Big Change

This December, I started a 10-second habit that gave me a breakthrough in resisting my late-night binge eating.

If you need to break a bad habit, or want to build a new one, let our accountabili-buddies help you develop a discipline of resistance.

Little Wins & Failure Party

Every step forward gets drowned out by new emergencies – which is why it’s vital we track our little accomplishments.

With our little wins & failure parties, we learn from failure and fuel ourselves to keep going with little successes.

You’re great. Your attention and voice makes a deep rippling impact, and I’m grateful you’ve chosen to focus it here.

So THANK YOU! I appreciate the heck out of you, being here, doing the work you’re doing in the world, igniting that next generation of luminaries. ​​

Gosh, you worked hard in 2024. Take a deep breath, and be kind to yourself. To get through 2025, we’ll need you well-rested, focused, and with access to joy in liberation work.

So what brings you this kind of joy? Leave a note in the comments so we can make it happen!
