      <image:title>Stories - Jumping Ship: Launching Without Falling Overboard</image:title>
      <image:caption>My father always said to hang onto my job while I searched for my next spot. “Work is not supposed to be enjoyable. That’s why it’s called ‘work’.” “Keep your head down and work hard and you will be rewarded.” The framework of quietly working harder and building financial stability from poverty is his story. Ignoring the physical, mental and emotional strain communicated by the nervous system is a strategy that paid off for him and others like him - Baby Boomers, GI bill recipients, children of the children of the Great Depression…white men.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Stories - Integrity is a backbone</image:title>
      <image:caption>As of late, I’ve been reflecting on integrity. When everything else falls away - the accolades, the titles, the offers, the resume builders, the money - what does it mean to hold onto your integrity? Can truth fill the void in your heart or your belly? Does an allegiance to your core values keep you warm at night and sleeping soundly? Can it keep you afloat when self-doubt creeps in and threatens your very sanity? In my rumination, I am coming to terms with integrity as a backbone. Structurally, it is paramount, but alone, it is limited. It won’t power you in times of struggle or sedentary self-reflection. It cannot propel you forward when you have come to rest, but it can hold you up when few other systems are functioning the way they should. Integrity is a backbone.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Stories - Practicing joy when you want to crawl back into the womb, rejoin the ether, and start over - Practicing joy, sigh.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Doesn’t it feel a little disingenuous to feel any amount of joy when so many things seem to be, well, joyless, or even worse - actually terrible? For me, it always has. It may always feel that way until I expire to be honest. One thing that gives me hope, though, is knowing that joy is one of our built-in, time-tested antidotes to despair.</image:caption>
