Love this- thank you. I resonated with so much of it, and it sparked some ideas on how I can build some spaces of collective action and sharing (I'm trying to avoid the word 'accountability' but I think I need more places to hear what others are doing and to feel a part of something bigger in my own individual actions).
What an inspiring piece! I organized Soup Swaps with friends, 20 years ago, and just hosted my first one for our homeschooling tween/teen coop. Everyone was a little confused but seemed to appreciate it. Thanks for the push to make this a consistent thing. Most nights, I end taking an Epsom salt bath and attempt to read a book by candlelight. Both my 14 and almost 12-year-old keep coming into chat (even though we spend ALL day with each other). It had been starting to annoy me, but thanks for the reframe. Love your zine, it's been inspiring my eldest to get into zine-making!
Thanks for taking the time to share all this Caroline! Love the soup swaps, the bath reframe, the zine making ripples. Brings me lots of joy to read this
This is interesting because I’ve been meaning to form a little pod with people who are willing to learn and make more conscious decisions as a collective. I met a few of them for the first time last week for iftar and as the only activist in that space, I felt a calling to ignite a space that honors building regenerative fractals! Thank you for reminding me ❤️
It was so easy to connect with others in my area when my kids were little, there were all the groups, right? The storytime at the library, the tumble time at the y, now that they are teenagers I don’t have any places to connect with folks in the same situation as me. Any ideas out there for those of you who have lived this same struggle?
Love this piece - it resonated strongly and left me feeling motivated and uplifted!
Thanks Sogol!

I really love this idea of coming together to let things grow. So powerful, thanks for sharing!
