A metaphor upon which we can hang our open tabs and mental laundry with more grace and a lot less guilt.

We care about a lot - our work, our people, ourselves.

And we know life doesn’t happen in neat lines.

More like spirals, squiggles, and polka dots.

The carousel of progress* visual shared in this episode gives us a way to see and welcome that.

It helps us look forward to what’s coming, be more present with what’s here, and appreciate what’s already passed and quietly making its way back to us in perfect timing.

In other words: it’s a visual model for chilling TF out about not being able to do and care about everything all at once.

What if we could relax, knowing the things that matter are present and accounted for? Bobbing and weaving, but not lost.

Just waiting for the moment when we actually have the desire and capacity to meet them.

Life in layers.

A rhythm of return.

Part of our growing #onherterms visual values language -- from recycle emoji, to the lazy Susan, to baggage claim, now this.

Tune in for more, and let me know what resonates.
