Yeah, I've been slowly pulling back on following "influencers" whose values in terms of consumerism don't seem to match my own.

How whisky-y is that boba?? 🧐

Pretty boozy! Japanese whisky + wintermelon tea + boba. Sooooo good!

It's amazing how consumer-y pretty much everything is. It's the water we're swimming in. But more and more of us are consciously choosing to reclaim our humanity and reject being reduced to consumers. Have you encountered Jon Alexander's work (Citizens: Why The Key to Fixing Everything Is All of Us) yet? I think you'd like it!

Thank you, Del! Your encouragement and generosity mean so much to me. Kindness and compassion have always been important to me, but it's taken me a while to figure out how to tangibly activate it in a world that is largely designed to prevent us from leaning in to our collaborative, compassionate instincts. It means a lot to know that my work has value and is resonating with people who long for better way forward TOGETHER.
