Weekly recap below!

Which blob are you feeling like today? I'm definitely a 20 - ending the week strong! (thank you Katie Rakusin for the fun check in inspiration)

🎭 Open improv session online for a Chinese client: Yes, #improv does work online! Seeing people lean into play and practice these transferable skills (listening, agility, co-creation) from behind a screen is always a joy.

🌱 First face-to-face mentoring session back with Erika Kessenger: She gently reminded me that progress will always beat perfection, a message that was important for me to hear.

☕ Coffee with Allison Goldberg: Yay for new facilitator friends. We’re co-hosting the IAF España meet-up on March 31st, who’s coming? (Link in comments!)

🏔️ Surprise! Coliving Hub is coming to Bansko Nomad Fest this year: So excited to share our Coliving Gathering with everyone. Coliving, community, and nomad life all in one place… it’s going to be amazing - grab your ticket now (early bird discount until April 1, link in comments)

🌿 Kathrin David and I are hosting our Reconnect talk: A free online session to help you ground, give, and grow through embodiment, play, and meaningful conversation. Who’s joining us? (Link also in the comments.)

This week felt like the best kind of patchwork: coliving, improv, personal development, mentoring, facilitation… so many different communities, all held together by connection and curiosity.

Would you ever consider (or are you already living) a portfolio-style career, one that weaves together multiple roles, passions, and communities?
