Continuing on our theme of spiritual and squiggly brained operating systems this month, we’re chatting with Pia Beck of Curate Well Co. about the ins and outs of running her business with a squiggly (or neuro-divergent) brain. Pia graciously speaks about her experience of receiving an OCD diagnosis, and how this has changed her understanding of herself as an entrepreneur, running several businesses. After a career in people operations in the tech and startup worlds, Pia started Curate Well Co. Today, Curate Well Co. helps brands change narratives and redefine norms in industries that are desperately calling for something different.

Happy New Year and welcome back to the Twelfth House! This month we’re reflecting on what’s in our spiritual and squiggly brained SOS kits. Throughout January we’ll be musing on how to soothe our psyches and our souls, when in spiritual crisis, and sharing what we turn towards when going through spiritual growth spurts. We’ll also be dissecting with the team and featured guests how to work with, instead of against, our neuro-divergent, squiggly brained ways of being. On today’s episode, Michelle, Janelle, and Wallis join in discussion to share their most treasured resources and habits for dealing with dark nights of the soul of the past and what’s in their toolkits as of late. We’re musing on big Q’s like… How do we know if we’re in a spiritual growth spurt? What were the integral resources which helped you get through your darkest night of the soul? What’s in our SOS toolkit now? Check out our ShopMy page for the list of resources mentioned in the episode here. Join our free community of intuitives and creators here!

What do we mean when we talk about "Wellness"? We know that it’s a multi-billion dollar industry built on products and services centered on “self-care”, and we also understand that to be "well", means much more than purchasing the latest green powder from Whole Foods. This is part 3/3 in our series unpacking the complex topic of what it means to work, take part, and profit from the (capital W) Wellness industry. This week Michelle and Wallis are musing on the demise of a specific type of “Wellness” consumerism if it’s gone for good, why it matters, and what this means for the future of the complex and weighty world of “Wellness”. We want to hear from you! All we do, we do for you, and your opinions and hot takes really matter. Let us know with a voice note here, your thoughts on this series. We’d love to hear your genius takes and share your sweet dulcet tones with the community on the pod. Don't be shy :)  Join our free community of intuitives and creators here!
