Today’s soundtrack is My Prerogative by Bobby Brown. This one really got me moving in my morning dance practice—full body, big energy, zero apologies. Total nostalgia + strong “I’m doing what I need to do” vibes. It was so good I stayed with a full New Jack Swing playlist, then shifted straight into some art-making before logging on. One of those mornings where movement opens everything up. What gets you up and moving lately—song, rhythm, practice, mood? Drop it in the comments and let’s keep the energy circulating. 🎶🎨

Today’s soundtrack is about resolve.About standing up when it would be easier to stay quiet.About protecting what matters most—our values, our integrity, and our children. Eye of the Tiger reminds me that courage isn’t loud bravado—it’s the steady willingness to stay in the fight for what we believe in, even when it’s uncomfortable. Especially when it’s uncomfortable. If this song were playing in your body today, what would it be strengthening? Where are you being called to stand firm, stay awake, and keep going? Drop your reflections—and/or your own soundtrack—in the comments. 🎧

Thursdays are a heavy coaching day for me, so I’ll be a little lighter on engagement here today—but I still want to keep the soundtrack of the day going. 🎶 Yesterday, @Ires Aponte shared a song that instantly became my post meditation morning personal dance party track. 💃🏽✨ https://youtu.be/C7tu4EMoDxI?si=osCC2dDB_nvRmSVM I’m collecting the songs that move me during these mornings and weaving them into a soundtrack for our March retreat—music that carries energy, grounding, and joy. I like all kinds of music in many different genres so share what insures you! Drop a song for the soundtrack of your day below. I may just add it to the retreat playlist. 🌿🎧

A few Skool tips to help you get the most out of this community—especially as we grow. I learned a few of these from @Jack Robinson and the wealth of info he has in the Skool Yard 1️⃣ Like your own posts + comments; It may feel funny, but liking your own post or comment does count toward your Leadership Board points. While we’re not doing a lot with the leaderboard yet, it will start to matter—higher engagement will unlock access to some content, and I’ll also be doing shout-outs to folks who are showing up and contributing in meaningful ways. 2️⃣ Customize your notifications: As the community grows and I continue to post more regularly, emails and notifications may start to feel like a lot. You can adjust notification settings for each Skool community individually: - Hourly - Daily - Weekly - Or never I personally keep most of mine set to 1x/week, but you might prefer daily or real-time updates. Choose what supports your nervous system, not what overwhelms it. 3️⃣ Check the Classroom tab: This is where courses, replays, and structured content live. If you miss a live or want to revisit something, this is your go-to spot. This is still very much a seedling and we hope to grow the classroom into a forest. 4️⃣ Pin posts you want to come back to: Pinned posts stay at the top of your feed—great for practices, resources, or conversations you want to return to. 5️⃣ Lurking counts: You don’t have to post to belong. Reading, reflecting, and quietly taking things in is a valid (and often necessary) way of being in community. 6️⃣ Use the search bar: Looking for a topic, practice, or question you remember seeing? The search tool can save a lot of scrolling. If you have other Skool hacks you love, drop them in the comments—we’ll build this wisdom together

A heartfelt welcome to all of our new members— @Jack Robinson @Rajnj Dutt @Liz Siliato @Maggie C @Serena Rundberg - so glad you’re here. This community was created as a place to slow down, reconnect, and remember that healing, learning, and leadership are not things we do alone. They happen in relationship—with our bodies, with one another, and with the living world around us. Sometimes we are reflective and serious and sometimes we are silly and playful You’ll find reflections, practices, conversations, and shared inquiry here—rooted in science, guided by nature, and embodied in lived experience. There’s no pressure to show up any particular way. Come as you are. Lurk if you need to. Share when it feels right. And a very special welcome to my mom @Sandra Pimentel , who taught me early on the power of care, curiosity, and staying connected across generations. I love that this space gets to hold that full circle moment. 💛 I’m grateful you chose to be here. Take a breath. Look around. You belong.
