Greetings, Community.
As we enter this new year, many of us are doing so in a season that already carries weight—intensified by a society under strain. Rising uncertainty, deepening inequities, and persistent threats to our collective well-being are shaping this moment. It holds fear, fatigue, anger, and grief—and a kind of low-grade vigilance that never fully turns off.
Through conversations with our members, I know that many of you are also carrying heaviness, exhaustion, and uncertainty. And I hear the quiet question underneath conversations across our field—across roles, titles, and years of experience alike:
How do we keep going when the ground keeps shifting beneath us?
