if you've been waiting for a sign, this is it
Today is the last day to lock in our founding member rate.
If you've been sitting with the idea of becoming a founding member of rōot — consider this is a sign.
As of tomorrow, July 2nd, our founding membership switches to a standard membership and the rate goes up to $200/year. By becoming a founding member, you not only lock in $100/year for life, for as long as you stay subscribed, but you also get:
- Full access to the member library — a growing collection of downloadable resource guides, talking points, and toolkits drawn from the story-healing, moral courage, and rooted leadership work at the heart of rōot
- Unlimited access to weekly community journaling circles — a live, intentional space to slow down, drop in, and write alongside others
- Unlimited access to monthly community conversations — live sessions built around the themes we explore here together
- 10% off all other offerings
- A signed copy of Tell Me My Story: Challenging the Narrative of Service Before Self — named a Distinguished Favorite by the NYC Big Book Award and Independent Press Awards and excerpted in the Stanford Social Innovation Review or a one hour virtual coffee with me.
And I want to share one more thing. Writing messages like this isn't easy for creators like me. In an ideal world most of us would simply share everything we can with everyone we can, but this work — the essays, the reflections, the poetry, the letters, the live gatherings — doesn't happen inside an institution.
There's no department budget, no communications team, no algorithm pushing it to the people who need it most. It happens because independent writers like me show up and keep going, and because readers like you decide what we're offering has value and is worth sustaining.
I created rōot because I wanted to create space where we can stay connected to our humanity and learn to hold pain and possibility as we navigate the challenges of being human in this era of polycrisis. If that's meant something to you — if even one piece landed at exactly the right moment — supporting this work through a founding membership is one way to say: keep going.
If this isn't the right time or you're not sure yet, that's totally fine. Regardless of whether you become a founding member or not, I want you to know how grateful I am to have you in this community. There are some exciting new things coming soon and I look forward to sharing them, in addition to my writing, with all of you.
Becoming a founding member today to lock in $100/year for as long as you're subscribed.
I am not a therapist, and these resources are not a substitute for therapy or professional mental health support. If you are navigating something that feels beyond the scope of this work, I encourage you to engage with these resources alongside therapy or other forms of professional care. And if you're not sure where to start, reaching out to a mental health professional is always a worthy first step. Your well-being matters, and it's important to have the support you need to navigate what you're carrying.
