the thread has always been the same.

i’ve spent decades in conversation with writers, artists, meditators, teachers, and seekers. all of it, in some form, was trying to understand the same thing: how do we live here, as present and true as possible?

i taught embodied writing courses, led workshops on radical wholeness, founded an artists’ collective, and coached clients around the world. i’m a certified movement meditation teacher, lay ordained Zen Buddhist, embodied present process guide, and breathwork facilitator. i host a podcast in the top 2% worldwide and have written a (somewhat) weekly newsletter for years.

throughout all of it, i’ve been asking questions. big questions. the kind that help me understand how to navigate this crazy journey we’re all on.

then my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. and the urgency of it — the preciousness of story, of being known — became visceral and personal.

now i sit with elders and the dying. i ask them what they know. i interview teachers, psychologists, death doulas, and spiritual leaders about what it means to be human, what’s most important to hold close, and how we live this one life.

which brings me to the work i do now: the Legacy Project. because everyone’s stories deserve to be heard. and every person deserves to be witnessed.

this is the one life we have. together we help each other live it.
