We have spent the past months exploring the nuances of social energy and how every scroll, comment, and pause can contribute to refilling or draining our inner well. And we are curious about how these explorations have impacted you:

• Have you noticed how your social energy shifts throughout the day?
• Have you noticed how a single scroll, comment, or pause online can either lift you or quietly drain your inner well?

If so, then you have actively engaged in our explorations. 👍

From exploring the subtleties of social energy and digital connection to understanding how our online habits ripple stealthily through our days, each of the concepts introduced within every article was an invitation for you, our readers, to step toward greater self-awareness, intention, and well-being. Every article was a mirror and a nudge, plus an invitation to notice what fuels you, what drains you, and how awareness itself begins to replenish your reserves.

Our secret mission was to influence you to pause, recharge, and discover fresh ways of showing up, both online and in your daily lives. What we did not anticipate was how your reflections, questions, and stories would recharge us. You’ve shown us that even in digital spaces, real connection and collective insight can thrive.

But lately, a deeper question has been stirring:

• What if resilience, as vital as it is, is only a threshold?
• What if resilience could be the metaphorical soil from which something new can grow?

Just as nature renews itself endlessly, we are interested in exploring how workplaces and communities could shift from simply enduring change to actively creating conditions for new life and collective flourishing.

In our next chapters, we will dissect this idea in more depth. We will seek to dig beneath the surface, see how we can draw inspiration from living systems, and explore what it means to lead and organize regeneratively, from the smallest team to the largest community.

As we close this season, we are excited to turn our attention to what’s next: exploring what it means to move beyond sustaining ourselves to regenerating our teams, organizations, and communities.

We can’t wait to share how we now experiment with cultivating spaces, at work and beyond, to not only restore energy, but generate new possibilities for everyone they touch. Can you imagine what leadership would look like if it were inspired by the wisdom and vitality of living systems?

We are seeding these questions now, and inviting you to join us in the next chapters of growth: a series dedicated to regenerative leadership, organizations, and communities.

Together, let’s imagine and practice what it means to co-create cultures where people and purpose truly thrive.

Thank you for being part of this “Sustaining Resilience” community.

The next season begins right here.

Let’s grow beyond resilience.

With gratitude,
Deborah Goldstein & Ute Franzen-Waschke
