Kasey and I in Maine at my family’s cottage on a lake, where we spent lots of time breathing on the docks together and brainstorming how we might save the world.

Every once in a while we get lucky and meet someone who we have such an instant connection with that we can’t stop talking, or when we do, the mind meld continues to churn harmoniously.

For me, Kasey (KD), Founder of Bask + Being, is that kind of soul mate. We met in our twenties in the Fortune 500 world with a shared passion for how communication, technology and engineering could transform — save — our world. A decade later and we both left the corporate world for entrepreneurship focused on wellbeing for individuals and organizations.

It always tickles me how Kasey and I continue to find ourselves tackling the same challenges, no matter what different paths we take, or how near or far apart we live. It means every time we connect we are learning, growing and healing, on top of all of the fun and living. This woman REALLY cares and wants to live a life of meaning - and it shows. I’m grateful to call her one of my best friends.

Which is why I am SO EXCITED to share and support one of the latest of Kasey’s brilliant ideas she’s been cultivating with her Bask + Being team - “The Cards (That Have Yet to Be NameD)” .

The Cards are straightforward flashcards that offer simple tips to make stress suck less, and I mean simple! I’ve personally seen and experienced the power of these cards in action the past two months to kick-off meetings with senior leaders. The exercises quickly shifted stressed professionals into smiling leaders focused on the moment at hand.

It never ceases to amaze me how quickly mindset and energy can shift when you take those mindful moments to take care of your brain (mental) health. If you haven’t experienced the power — now is the time!

I’ve pledged, and can’t wait to get a deck in every client’s hands - to be used in their businesses and personally when they start to feel overwhelm or the inner critic rise and to stay on top of their wellbeing. Check them out on Kickstarter, and pledge your support!
