Notes From a Slow Coach
Notes From a Slow Coach is my regular blog-style newsletter where I explore something that has recently caught my attention. I often unpack ideas, assumptions, and trends that, if left unexamined, risk diverting us from our natural rhythms and depths. And consider meaningful ways to resist and rebel sustainably, gently, and creatively.
Receive my Notes From a Slow Coach in your inbox whenever they are published (generally every week or two):
I often release video versions of the posts, which you can find through the NFASC Playlist on YouTube.

Power in persistence
Persistence has power—it can contribute to a better world, but it can also do the opposite, extracting value and coercing people without consent.
Strength in numbers
Numbers can topple buildings and spark change but can also reduce individuals to statistical fodder and data on a spreadsheet.
No pain, no gain
Without it, we gain nothing. Pain is love, creativity, compassion, and care. Without it, we gain nothing; we simply exist.
