The most fabulous @danielyep + @missbbrom got married and it was so full of love, joy, music + community. Here’s to a lifetime of happiness to you both, what legends ♥️
I’ve imagined over the years what @danielyep’s wedding + worship music would be like, + it’s been like fireworks in my head, @missbbrom + @danielyep, + their incredibly talented friends + family were soul stirring, felt like an honour to amongst them all in this special moment ♥️
And obvs @danielyep didn’t disappoint, he’s always thrown great parties, with the best tunes in town, of course only he could meet the most talented musical match and now they will throw even more legendary ones with @missbbrom, some matches are just joy personified 😍
Man, we’ve all been through a lot together over the years, + I’ve def underestimated in myself how special days like this feel when such, love, joy, connection across our personal, professional, purpose. What a flipping honour it is to be journeying through life with y’all ❤️
It’s been a struggle the last few years more than ever to know how we navigate so much together where something starts + another ends, but today something deeper reminded me of what has always joined us, a reverence for something greater, friendship, joy, love. What an honour.
Thanks for reminding us all of who we are and who can be together @danielyep + @missbbrom ♥️
There is something so special in being invited to each other’s worship, families and most sacred moments, I feel so lucky when we do get to share that ♥️

I don’t have any resolutions it’s not really my style, but I wasn’t able to show up in 2021 as my best self if I’m honest, + I just want to make sure I can this year, + be less irritated, exhausted, + annoyed over small things. Need to find that peace again, + spaciousness ♥️
I do miss having my Nani around so much, they would give me a stern talking to about things, when I was losing my way, or being to harsh or loose tongued, or forgetting how easy it is to make mistakes + not get too ahead of myself, + it’s worse when I’m tired.
The elders though, they the ones a stern straight through the soul talking to can change instantly 💔♥️
Creating legibility, coherence, being proximate, turning up, synthesising, connecting dots, emergence, knowing how to move through complexity and so on and so on, there’s lots you can do but seek certainty in uncertain, emergent, unknown, complex work is not what you can seek.
The things you can do is actively connect dots, nurture connection, understand, create iterative cycles of legibility, coherence, communication, make visible the invisible, be proximate the lightbulb will switch on, get hands on, create cycles of learning with peers ..
… distribute this, if there connection, tend to these edges, not everyone can go bonkers deep + that’s good. But, your heart and soul has to yearn for that, because it’s always going to be bigger, more complex, more uncertain, unnerving than certain + predictable, everyone ..
I’ve been meaning to do this thread for a while, but never quite get the chance to stop and word it quite right, but over the years with anything #DoughnutEconomics related two things happen, and I thought I’d explain those two things and answer some of the questions people pose.
So, it is really exquisite work, but I hadn’t quite realised that fully until this year, and I think I realise that a bit more now, and wanted to share. Most of my experiences without it were absolutely gut wrenching inspiration, like exploding out my heart type thing when I ..
... heard Kate talk about this idea, it’s so simple, so much common sense, like surely of course we all should have known this, starting back in 2018, when Andy shared the book at the Hub, every talk, every exploration was exactly that so inspiring, so I went back and read ..
Any person, group, community, neighbourhood, org, place getting up and trying to put their frustration, hopes, energy into action isn’t in opposition or anyone else doing anything to other groups, not MPs, not councillors, not councils, not peers, I know everything feels zero ..
... sum, I know so many are incentivised to only be able to do anything they can take credit for, I know it’s hard we have to be aware of power, resource, capacity, but it’s not a zero sum battle against each other, we all need 1000x more to find ways through what is here ..
COVID-19 has definitely confirmed one thing UBS, UBI and a overhaul of the purpose of the economy, changing the goal as Kate Raworth would say, is going to have to be at the heart of any chance of anyone having the capacity and structure to think beyond themselves.
The changes will keep happening to us, but whether we can respond or just flap about in a set of crisis one after the other and metaphorically drown from exhaustion of flapping, is going to be down to what conditions we create and wow we are screwed with this government.
Even within the philanthropic and funding world, caution and risk is pretty high even where there is signs of the future it’s not flooded with support or unpacked boldly, climate funds are a subset, this is all terrifying really. The future is being unpacked by heroics ..
I’m still fascinated by the psychology where whatever happens with the kids is just a big experiment, infection, variants, long COVID, just anything to prop and ensure we don’t forget most of our economy functioning is based on consumption, and we need to get out and spend.
If the NHS is exhausted well that’s their job, well the kids, we’ll just see what happens.
Like this is how the micro parts of our unspoken social contract is made, and this is what we decided. I find this absolutely fascinating.
