This letter is very timely. My mental health has fallen down a deep ravine over the past 1.5 years, while trying to build a business online. This week, I started a new in-person, part time job at a local farm-based, Waldorf-inspired school. I cannot express how quickly my nervous system is rearranging itself. A necessary remembering. I feel rather lost at the moment in regards to my business, which is exactly where Im realizing need to be - away from it, away from screens, outside, with children and other humans who appreciate and understand this cellular need for presence with what is present. Love your letters Ema, thank you 🕯

Just loving this voiceover feature so much! My full time job is on screens all day, and to be able to hear your voice and participate in this way has me overjoyed! Thank you for recording it. I currently feel over stimulated and at max capacity of what I am taking in and how to process it- so this is so timely to ‘read’ (hear!). I’m not entirely sure how to disconnect more yet so I can fill myself back up better and not become devoted to this internet space...🤍

As a long term expat I've built up a healthy community of folks around the world in the past 20 years. However, since my IRL life was so contricted during the beginning of the pandemic, I've felt lop sided. Its going on four years but I just cant seem to get an in peraon community going. And just being a head on a screen online is super lonely. My entire business is online too, ahhhh. Am looking into how to balance this out again. I know with time I will but this post resonated with me so much. So so much. Thank you!
