It's all about connections.
In a whimsical world, cats and fish can be friends instead of predator and prey. Strange beings can manifest out of the blue and dance among the flowers or spin in circles just for the fun of it! In a whimsical world, anything is possible.

Have you ever felt that little quiet ache, like a Kuchisabishii i.e. a lonely mouth, not for food, but for real #connection? I know I have, and I believe many of us do too!

Here's my #manifesto, freshly recorded just for you! It's a promise about why I exist, the amazing future we're building, and who we're building it for.

This is for anyone who wants to turn those "awkward blocks" into "awesome breakthroughs" and find truly joyful, meaningful friendships and #partnerships specially for our incredible #BIPOC and #LGBTQ+ communities!

At Good Partner Technologies, we're making it happen with new, fun ways to learn about inclusive intimacy.

Ready to hear our vision for a more connected world?

Press play and let's explore this together!

So. I woke up late… again.
But I didn’t feel guilty. Because I needed the rest - I was awake until 7:30 in the morning (…I think this might be insomnia…help?)

I prioritise my wellbeing - and I work when it feels aligned. That’s part of the life I’m building… unapologetically.

And today, I’ve been thinking about community, and how hard it is to build a community where people really are there for each other. In the good and the bad times, regardless of who we are, and where we come from.

Where it’s not just a bunch of people vibing together - but a real container, of diversity, and genuine authentic space to be.

We weren’t taught how to do that.
Capitalism taught us to compete.
Patriarchy taught us to perform.
Individualism taught us to stay separate.

And status-driven culture taught us to rank each other constantly:
- by money
- by productivity
- by parenthood
- by pain
- by purpose

And then we wonder why it feels so hard to trust people, and connect vulnerably.

I’m building a rebel community in my business - but I am also aware, that it’s a community of like-minded people, right. So we connect because of shared interests in personal development, belonging, and self expression. And it’s online - so I can just go and borrow sugar, og help with the lawn. XD

I do wonder though...
Are we really showing up for each other?
Do we know how to hold someone who’s struggling - without losing ourselves?
Do I know how to ask for help without collapsing into guilt?

I wasn’t taught these things.
I was taught to people-please.
To abandon myself in service of others.
To over-function and burn out in the name of “being nice.”

So I’m asking better questions now.
Not: “Why is it so hard to find community?”

But:
🌿 “How can I create one small connection today — that feels good to both of us?”
🌿 “How can I start noticing the connection around me?”
🌿 “How can I stay rooted in myself… while making space for someone else?”

"It's the idea of health professionals 'literally prescribing you a community activity or resource the same way they'd prescribe you pills or therapies,' she [Julia Hotz] explains. The prescriptions include exercise, art, music, exposure to nature and volunteering, which are known to have enormous benefits to physical and mental health."
