“Between every two pine trees is a door leading to a new way of life.” — John Muir
Three years ago, we walked through ours.
We moved here to calm our nervous systems so they could breathe. So our kids could grow up inside nature’s beauty instead of looking at it through a screen.
What I didn’t fully anticipate was how much it would shape the vision for @atlasdaughtersjourneys - that raising children who feel genuinely responsible for this planet requires that they first feel connected to it. Deeply, physically, daily.
You can’t teach global responsibility from a distance.
(Yes, I added an arrow. If you squint you may be able to see where we call home. We are small. The natural world around us is very large. And that feels about right.)
Here's to hoping you all can find your door. Happy Earth Day. 🌲
Tonight in Oxford, we open with a short film. It starts in Samoa — where an @atlasdaughtersjourneys cohort of women funded the pilot that helped unlock a $100M bond instrument for verified plastic elimination. That's catalytic philanthropy in action.
Joining the pre-@skollfoundation Forum conversation tonight to share what's possible when women give together with intention. 🌊🌍

Thank you for an inspiring and insightful few days at the Marshall Institute at London School of Economics. Ready to showcase how private action for public benefit can be catalytic @skoll .

I can't wait for TED2026: All of Us. It's the closing of a beautiful chapter in Vancouver and the start of a new one. On my mind... how can we get further together? How will ai change the landscape of impact? When is focusing on ourselves "enough"? We are in an era of disruption for impact and moving capital - how can we join forces to do more with less, and get there faster? How can we combine all our passions for life into moments that deliver "doing better"?
let's connect @ted

Ski trip, elevated. Had to venture quite a distance to find the last of our snow this season. Thank you @dreambeyond_italy@scandilatina for an epic Italian ski adventure with my hubby. Personalized mixology courtesy of the phenomenal @steurru for dreamy sips at sunset after 20k of vertical ❤️❤️❤️
