Is Right Livelihood Possible in 2025?

In 2023, when I was interviewing for my first “corporate” job as a middle aged adult, I spoke of “right livelihood” and a mission driven approach to my work. Interviews with global directors and even the CMO contained that language and they all nodded along. I’d read the company’

Our Great Reset

How often do we give ourselves permission to reset our lives? If you’re like me, the idea of wiping out all of the human habits that aren’t so healthy, but often necessary to survive being, well, human, is appealing. Unfortunately, the reality of doing so is not so
