“Okay, see you in 20 minutes,” I say before turning off my Zoom camera, setting my “Time Timer” and getting to work. For the last several months, my speaker Mastermind has gotten together weekly to check in and get things done. We lovingly call it “Study Hall” but the cool, on-trend word is… Body Doubling.

“Whoa, pause the movie,” I say to my husband. We are midway through the movie “The Banshees of Inisherin” when the text comes through. Our “faraway daughter” from Turkey is messaging us that she has just experienced a massive earthquake and is feeling terrified. It’s early morning her time and her normally well-written message is showing signs of …
Storytime. We are drawn to what we need. Hello there, friend!
