Welcome back, it’s lovely to see you here and with such wisdom to share too - thank you!
I seem to be following in your steps.. building a business now and getting ready to welcome our first child in March next year.
I love the comparison you make with your cherry tree (and I’m sorry that it went down). I will take that as an invitation to keep my own as supported (and well rooted) as I can :)
Thanks Cecile! so happy to hear about your new arrival coming in March. such an exciting development for you and Michael. and congrats on the new business, I'm pumped to see you strike out on your own!
Whoa, crazy timing. I just listened to the podcast you recorded with Sam back in 2022 literally today. Mentioning it here since the vision for the future you described in it gave me goosebumps. I'm 6 months into my own journey (after leaving the software engineering world) and it's unbelievable how much your experience seems to line up with my own. Breathwork is next on my list; as is your substack. Wild world we live in
Sounds like the real lesson here is we need to have a strong internal foundation — a system of deep roots, if you will — and can’t let external coping mechanisms (like a buffer of invasive plants, or perhaps even an afternoon nitro-brew coffee) absorb the brunt of the stress we deal with on a day-to-day basis. Otherwise, if you take those away, you’ll inevitably hurt your back.

agree on focusing on the foundation. building healthy soil one might say. but leave my 12pm cold brew out of it!
He's back!! Love it.
