Feb 12 Intention-Setting Program

And my most recent writing about boundaries and...protests? Yes, protests.

February 3, 2026

Hello there - I’m writing today to invite you to a program on February 12 and to read my latest writing on boundaries.

2026 Intention-Setting, With Mad-Libs! Thursday February 12, 11 am-12 noon EST/New York (UTC -5). 

Join me and the Liberatory Livelihood Association (LLA) for this workshop.

You might be wondering if it's a little late in the year to be doing "annual" intention setting? Well, we at the LLA say it's never the wrong time to articulate what you really want now and in the future.

The world is a heavy place right now, so I'm planning to facilitate this workshop with just a touch of humor. It's important to me not to dismiss heaviness, but I'm taking this approach because sometimes it helps to shake thoughts loose from a slightly different angle.

If you'd like to attend, leave a message below, DM me, or reply to this email. This program is free but we always welcome contributions toward LLA administrative costs. We’re hosting events frequently now (including a weekly writer’s working hangout), so make sure to join the mailing list here.

I'm always sending gratitude to the other 3 core members of the LLA for making good trouble together with me: Chris Musei-Sequeira, PMP, Heather Luna and Dr. Kimberly Terry, EdD.

Read my latest thoughts on how protesting can be a powerful and inspiring expression of your boundaries, on my “Poison Spoon” blog on Substack, here.

As always, please keep recommending me to friends and colleagues who might need a business/leadership coach or strategic planner (my specialty as a planner is small shops). My equity pricing structure means I can help most folks. I have extensive experience, especially in the area of social justice. Some of my clients run high-revenue businesses, while others run non-profits or one-person businesses.

I try to be transparent about my identity as a white, cis-het, middle-class, non-disabled woman in the U.S., because I think it’s important for my potential clients to know. I often get to work with people who have identities that differ from mine, and together, we are building a more just and equitable world where our lives and work are much better because of it.

Here’s to setting intentions to make the world a more equitable place,
