@cal.calamia: The objectives for the Mental Athletic issue 5 cover launch were to help people feel connected to themselves and each other, and to walk away feeling inspired to reclaim their autonomy. I am so inexplicably grateful for everyone who made this evening possible. I was able to think and speak more candidly at an event than I have in a long time because the collective presence and intention was so palpable. When we take the time to know ourselves fully and commit to living in alignment with our own values, we create stronger relationships and coalitions within which we can dream up the world we want to live in and mobilize toward it. I have deep hope and abundant love, and I’m never letting them go.
