By: Gabriela Yareliz Candace Owens led an interesting discussion around the attempted erasure of ancestry. Cue the Cracker Barrel controversy. (Truly one of my favorite places to be.

A Back-to-School Special
Books
“Books are as essential as breathing. In my experience, when going down for the third time, it was often word-to-word resuscitation that saved the day.” Sarah Ban Breathnach
Podcasts of the Week 9/4/25
By: Gabriela Yareliz Happy Thursday! Given the short week and packed trains (thanks to school restarting), we are all disoriented. I see tiny kids in new outfits and sweaters they will regret later in the warmer parts of the day. There is a woman with a visor that extends at least a foot away fromContinue reading “Podcasts of the Week 9/4/25”

Narrowed
I heard this quote recently that is a profound expression of truth: “Love eliminates options.” Andy Figueroa People make choices. Choosing is the most sacred thing we do. Love rules our choices, if we allow it to. And when it does, it eliminates options. I heard someone discussing this phrase in coaching. “How have youContinue reading “Narrowed”
