What is Essential? (Donation Series)
New Series for May
Dear Friends,
How do we REMEMBER, CULTIVATE, and more deeply CONNECT to what truly matters in our lives?
On our deathbed, what will we wish we had done more of?
Will we wish we’d spent more time on social media… or more time with people we love?
FORGETTING WHAT MATTERS
The average person now spends over 2.5 hours a day on social media—that’s more than 900 hours a year.
And yet, nearly 1 in 2 adults report feeling lonely, according to the U.S. Surgeon General’s report on social connection.
Our donation-based series in May—aligned with the launch of my new book The Essential—will focus on this theme, exploring:
What are we PRIORITIZING?
What are we AVOIDING?
And how can we REALIGN with what actually brings us meaning, joy, and connection?

This series couldn’t come at a better time. The question “What are we avoiding?” hit me like a quiet thunderclap. So often it’s not that we don’t know what matters—it’s that we forget, or distract, or numb.
Bringing together voices like Gabor Maté, Doug Abrams, and Yung Pueblo feels like creating a circle of remembrance for the soul. And I love that this is by donation—it keeps the spirit of generosity at the center of it all.
Thank you, Soren, for guiding these deeper conversations. I’ll be there—with a notebook in one hand and a reminder to close the social apps in the other.
