Therefore I Learn

New year, new you? How about instead of writing a list of things to change about yourself, you make just ONE intentional shift to just ONE thing: the way you consume information.

In our newest article, we explore the case for long-form content.

What do you think?

The Case for More Long-Form Content in 2026 Trust me, your brain will thank you!

We are so back! I’m excited to share TIL’s first newsletter in a long while.

In it, I share 3 lessons learned from burnout recovery, 2 resources for you—including a custom made energy (“spoons”) tracker—and 1 guided meditation for you to try led by yours truly.

Check it out, and don’t forget to subscribe for biweekly neurodiversity affirming and inclusive wellness resources.

PS, if you have something you want me to discuss or a question to answer, leave it in the comments or DM it to me and you might find a reply in our next edition.

Keep Kalm + Karry On Did you know the reason they didn't immediately release the "Keep Calm and Carry On" posters during WW2 was because they kept them in reserve for a "more severe crisis." Fascinating.

TLDR: "On average, it takes 17 years from the onset of symptoms for someone with OCD to receive the correct diagnosis and start treatment. This delay can worsen the long-term outcomes for patients, leading to more severe symptoms and a harder road to recovery...Not only did the LLMs match the professionals in diagnosing OCD, but in many cases, they outperformed them. One of the models, ChatGPT-4, correctly identified OCD in every vignette it was given, resulting in a 100% accuracy rate."

Could AI Help Doctors Diagnose OCD Faster? AI could soon transform OCD diagnosis. A recent Stanford study shows large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT-4 outperforming human professionals in identifying OCD from patient cases, achieving 100% accuracy.

What do Pom Poms and a yoga mat have in common? They’re both useful when teaching littles to find their center, breathe, and connect to themselves — and they’re both a place for fun! Seriously. Want to teach kids yoga and mindfulness? We’re excited to share (soon) about two more trainings for the Fall!

Just a couple of weeks left until the first kids yoga training I’ve led in a while! Super excited and can’t wait. You coming? Join me for a two day intensive training where you’ll learn how to make your yoga classes fun and engaging for young people while staying true to neurodiversity and trauma informed practices that support nervous system regulation and healing for life. Check out TIL’s website or DM me for more info.

I developed the 5 C’s to help guide all of the work we do at TIL. I love a nice set of alliterated words and I also think that the foundations of any work that we are doing — personally or professionally — can be found within the 5 C’s framework. I truly believe they are huge part of our lifelong journey to discover all the parts of ourselves and find our reason for a life worth living. I am genuinely excited to share more with you about this framework over the next couple months. Do you prefer posts or reels? Let me know in the comments . ⬇️
