Visions for a Radically Different World: A podcast series

This podcast series kicked off in January and features conversations with regular people brainstorming what it might look like to create systems and structures that are rooted in care and designed to serve the collective. Check it out and let me know what you think

The companion Substack and offers folks a chance to weigh in with their experiences and questions and be in conversation with one another. I'd love to hear your ideas for future episodes, know how the conversations we're having are landing with you, and if there's something I'm missing.

Let's Stay in Touch

The world is a lot right now and yet, I know so many amazing people who are coming from a place of love and hope and community care. It is going to take all of us supporting each other in a million different ways to shift systems and structures so that they are really serving us in the best ways. I'm committed to finding ways we can stay resourced and healthy so if you have requests or ideas or just want to share what you're feeling, I'm always here.

XO, Kari

Happy 2026! Visions for a Radically Different World is here! I am so excited for this podcast series and I hope you are, too. The first episode is a 30-minute introduction to the idea and you can listen here (or on Spotify or Apple, but I have issues with Spotify, so in case you do, too, there are options). There will be new episodes on the fourth Tuesday of every month and I really want to hear from folks with their ideas for other conversations as well as comments on the episodes. I've set...

When I was working with my friend Julie and then later, Shelby, to find a way to describe the work I do and the offerings that seemed disparate and disconnected, it became clear that the through-line of all of it is relationship. Our connection to one another is the most important part of my work - helping facilitate repair where there has been rupture, helping folks define their connection to themselves and their passion, and crafting ways for us to strengthen our relationships to one...

Hi, and Happy November. I hope that wherever you are, you're experiencing some ease and joy and finding ways to stay grounded. The world is a lot right now, for sure. This morning, I was reminded of this poem by Nikita Gill and it gave me some solace. Something to Consider... You all know how I feel about AI (and if you don't you can read my rant here). I have strong opposition to it for a whole host of reasons, and then yesterday, I had an experience that gave me another reason to worry...
