Here’s an update on what I’ve been thinking since Amelia and I recorded on May 1st:

Perhaps unsurprisingly, I have not been posting as much on Instagram as I was around the time we recorded. I still have Meta ads running to share out my “Work that Works” Training and it has continued to bring in new people into my orbit. But I am dedicating a lot less attention to posting on IG, YouTube, and LinkedIn and it has felt like a nice return to a life with super low social media consumption.

I have also been dialing UP my outreach and relationship building efforts. This has mostly looked like reaching out to a mix of people that I already know and that I haven’t met yet and asking to have a chat, invite them onto my podcast, or even just sending a video of me with a quick hello (a nice reminder that every re-engagement doesn’t have to look like a synchronized call). I am following my intuition and curiosity to help direct me to who to reach out to.

My signature coaching course is up and running (you can get it below with a special discount for Off the Grid listeners below) and I find my desires shifting more into cultivating my IRL life where I live in Portland. I have budding curiosity to understand the landscape of organizations and key people who live in my city and have high hopes of cultivating a IRL participatory events arm of my business under LIGHT STRUCTURE.

(Email me to let me know if there is an awesome person in Portland, OR that you think I should know!)

A BIG thank you to Amelia for this live processing session. It really helped re-center me toward what has always felt natural — relationship building.

My hope is that we can all dial up the amount of reaching out to others to increase the amount of connection and collaboration in these strange and ever shifting times.

Thanks again for listening!
