Woweee! What a nice time. First official Art Crawl was a success - thank you thank you to the artists who opened up their space to us. And so many thank yous to the people who joined and for asking such thoughtful questions. It was such a pleasure to spend the evening “talking shop” with everyone, can’t wait to do it again :)

Special thanks to @jillnancy for the planning support and the photos!

In our episode with Andi, she mentioned a ritual that she started by herself - writing a letter to her mom on the beach. Inspired by her bravery to share her journey with grief, we wanted to do something to hold space for those in our life we’ve lost.

This year Andi’s opening her tradition up to us. Welcome to The Beach Letter.

Together, we’ll gather at Cox Beach to write our own letters. No pressure or performance, just a quiet evening to share. Whether you’ve lost someone, something, or feel the desire to connect - this ritual is for you.

Guided gently by Andi and Dre Turner our next podcast guest.

Join us on Wednesday, July 2nd at the Beach Shack.

We’d love to see you there!

A little home (and Renny) appreciation post. Even though the wind literally will not quit 😡

Went camping for one night and spent most of the time hiding from the sun and waiting for the tide to come up enough to swim (spoiler: no swims were had). It was a trip of less than ideal circumstances, from getting scorched by the sun on day one to an emergency evacuation for a toddler with second degree burns from dumping a pot of fresh-off-the-stove-chicken onto himself (he’s doing fine now but it was very not fine at the time). And yet we all somehow had quite a nice time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Grateful for my chosen family.

If your job goes away, what is left?

@dreturner and I discuss career ambition and the realization that true fulfillment doesn’t come from climbing the ladder, it comes from having the courage to step off it. 🪜

Stoked for you to hear Dre’s story!!

Went to California to be reunited with some of my fave guys and my gimpy gal @luba.p and came home to a nice long ferry line up (with a side of cherry blossoms!) so here’s a montage because I finished my book and have one more sailing to go :)

A poem about life. When @urszulalipsztajn shared this with me it was related to the process of navigate grief. But it also feels like a reminder to take new routes and to forgive ourselves when we fall back into old ruts. 🌀
Wrote about it in my newsletter (feels surreal to say that) and you can subscribe at dreturner.substack.com or just creep the archives - clickable link in my bio 👹.

This trip. ✨ What a time. ✨ The best group of women, the nicest hosts @alaiamentawai and the funnest boards @boardsbymick. Thank you thank you thank you. It was a much needed immersion after what has been the heaviest year of my life.

The global pandemic aside, the last 1.5 years have been the hardest I’ve experienced. I lost my mom to brain cancer and ended my marriage to my best friend. Luckily he is the kindest person I know (hence why I married him) and is still my person is many ways, forever grateful for you @craigcsb

For those who don’t know… On Father’s Day 2021 I got a call, my parents were in the ER waiting on some brain scans for my mom. A few weeks and a biopsy later, it was confirmed that she had brain cancer (again). In August I took a leave from work and moved into my parents home to help care for her until her final day, the winter solstice, December 21, 2021. Losing her was hard but watching her slip away was worse. Processing that trauma has been a slower and more nuanced experience than I anticipated and I’m not sure when (or if) it will feel any easier. But in that process I have been so grateful for all the people in my life who took me in while I ran away from it all, accepted me in whatever capacity I had (which was often not much), and continue to show up and hold space. I am so lucky, so heartbroken, and so hopeful. Life is short. And it can be really fucking hard. But it can also be really fucking beautiful. Thank you, I love you.

Big shout out to the dream team @zarahuntley @lindsayhenwood @kaitlin.klimosko @stephhardiman @bridgetkellyr 💕 thank you all for being a light when things get dark.
