Hey friends,
You may have noticed my newsletters have been… a bit inconsistent. I’m now a full-time single dad, and while that’s brought its challenges, it’s also helped clarify what matters most. Life has a way of focusing you, doesn’t it?
One unexpected outcome is that Alana and I co-created what we’re calling our Living Constitution. It’s a written document of our values, expectations, communication strategies, boundaries, shared goals—all designed to help us show up for each other with honesty, kindness, and respect. And it’s been utterly transformational. If you’d like help creating something like this with your teenager(s), just reach out. I'm happy to share.
And now, some more exciting news...
My Book Is (Finally) Coming Out!
The Healing Mindset: Mastering the Art of Skillful Awareness will be published on November 1. This book is the heart of everything I’ve taught, practiced, and lived over the past 25 years. It’s a practical, deeply personal guide for transforming stress, healing old wounds, and showing up in life with clarity and compassion.
The book will be accompanied by three powerful workbooks for readers who want to delve deeper into meditation, raise their awareness, and engage in shadow work.
A Fully Reimagined Online Course: Project SkillfullyAware
I’ve also rebuilt my flagship course from the ground up:
- Foundations: A 6-week intro to ethically-based mindfulness, attention training, and regulating your nervous system
- Intermediate: A 6-week deep dive into emotional triggers, stories, and subtler shadow patterns
- Advanced: 6 weeks of vertical growth, leadership, and conscious living across all domains of life
What’s Next: Unfinished Business
I’m now feverishly writing my second book, Unfinished Business: The Inner-Work Behind the Work of Great Leadership. At the center is the SA360—a transformative new narrative assessment tool that helps individuals see where they’re leaking personal power, understand their stage of development, and grow in the precise ways life is challenging them to.
2026: Sharing with the world
If 2025 was a year of prolific challenge and creation, 2026 will be about sharing the fruits of the journey far and wide. I’m so grateful you’re here and part of this unfolding mystery. Let’s make the coming years our best ever!
Wishing you abundant health, happiness, and prosperity,
Mark
