We know, we know. Learning the ins and outs of Medicare probably ranks somewhere between a dentist appointment and sitting in traffic.

But here’s the reality: It’s the system we have. Whether we like it or not, understanding how this program will—and will not—support us as we age or face serious illness is essential. It’s about knowing what tools you actually have in the shed before you need to build something.

If you aren’t ready to dive in just yet, no sweat. We’ll be right here waiting with this recording whenever the “Medicare mood” finally strikes.

Huge thanks to Chris Hashimoto, certified Medicare Counselor, for walking us through each plan, what they cover, and when to sign up for what. Chris is part of SHIP, an online resource for finding real, local medicare experts.

Healthcare is complicated, and navigating Medicare often feels like a compounding hardship when you’re already dealing with illness or helping a loved one.

Join us on March 13 @ 11am PT for a focused hour digging into Medicare. We’ll cover the most important things you need to know and consider, whether you’re navigating the system for yourself or acting as an advocate for someone else.

The more we can understand the systems we rely on - the good and bad - the better equipped we are to make decisions with clarity.

In the midst of burnout and grief, sometimes the place we think will hold us steady —  a hospital, a routine, a role — no longer feels like home.

Palliative care physician and colleague Sunita Puri shares how she found a different kind of refuge: in nature, in the body, in stillness, and in the acceptance of impermanence.

Refuge isn’t a place — it’s a practice. It’s the pause between breaths, the wind on our face, the ground under our feet, and the understanding that we can feel both joy and sorrow in any one moment.

When life feels heavy, maybe we don’t need escape — but presence.

Humanity captured in art.

Loss is universal. We are all passing through—held for a moment together in this life.

Do you find inspiration for mortality in art, theater or music?

Caregivers: we know you’re busy tracking meds, arguing with insurance, and trying to hold it together while getting enough sleep so you can wake up and do it again.

But just so you know, Ryan is out there, leaning against a reclaimed wood doorframe, wearing a slightly-too-tight henley, thinking about your incredible capacity for patience and care.

Happy Valentine’s Day to caregivers.
