Hi friends!

First, thank you for hanging with me while I’ve been away—I’ve felt so much support and will always be grateful.

Second, some housekeeping: This is my first official send on Beehiiv—hopefully this email made it to your inbox. If not, please mark the email as “important” and drag me to your primary inbox (if you found me in Updates, Social, or Promotions on Gmail, for example)—and if you found me in SPAM, please mark me as not spam! I’m sending from my very own website, and so I need to prove to all the email service providers that I’m a real person. If you were a free subscriber on Substack, you don’t need to do anything—you’re here!. If you were a paid subscriber on Substack, you have been ported over to Beehiiv and don’t need to do anything to sign up again either. (There are a few exceptions: If you paid for Pulling the Thread via the Substack app, you are no longer a paid subscriber and will need to redo that over here. The upgrade page is here.)

Third, I’m back on the podcast mic. I’ve been healing from a double mastectomy and I’m doing well! Thank you to everyone who has been thinking of me. This update covers: the surgery experience, the healers I’ve been working with, a few essential things I bought for the recovery phase, something my friends did that was a huge help, and the mini revelations that have come to me during this sabbatical of sorts. I’m sharing a bit from the Omega retreat that I hosted with Satya Doyle Byock, a Jung story that set me straight, synchronicities from an oracle deck that I love, and what I’m up to next—now that I’ve realized I cannot out-robot the robots.

I’d recommend listening to this episode (Apple | Spotify)—though the transcript is below for those who want a quick scroll.

So friends, I am back. I am thrilled to be behind the podcast mic again. And beginning with the first Thursday of August, we will be back to our regularly scheduled podcast programming. I have some amazing conversations coming for you. So thank you for staying with me on this very interesting journey. So today I though I would give you an update on how I'm doing. If you missed it, in June's solo episode, I talked about my diagnoses. I guess it's a plural of breast cancer, very early stage breast cancer, and also a brain aneurysm.
