Cycles of Change

If you are young, on your own, and watching rent consume half your paycheck while homeownership feels like a fantasy from another era, you are not imagining the difficulty. The economy has fundamentally shifted. What your parents could do at your age—buy a house, pay off college in a few years, [...]

You have probably noticed something strange. Your feed overflows with people selling transformation: ten-day challenges, miracle morning routines, courses promising to unlock your purpose, influencers who seem to have it all figured out. Meanwhile, you might feel more confused than ever about what [...]

A child stands alone at the edge of the playground while classmates whisper and point. Decades later, that same pattern emerges in a conference room where colleagues exclude a coworker from lunch invitations and undermine their contributions in meetings. The tactics change with age, but the [...]

Standing at the crossroads of possibility, every young person holds dreams in one hand and doubts in the other. The path ahead appears daunting, yet within each student lies extraordinary potential waiting to be awakened. This journey toward purposeful living begins with understanding that [...]

America is breaking apart. Adults scream at each other on social media. Politicians attack instead of solving problems. Families split over politics. Communities divide into hostile camps.

The 250-year experiment in democratic self-governance teeters on the edge of failure, not from foreign invasion or natural disaster, but from an enemy within: the complete inability of citizens to engage in civil discourse about the challenges that [...]

We teach children that violence never solves problems while adults engage in campaigns to destroy their political enemies. We demand kids show respect while we dehumanize half the country.

Political leaders deepen divides for votes, social media algorithms amplify outrage for profit, and communities fracture along ideological lines while real problems remain unsolved. The generation born between 2011 and [...]

The answer to our divided world walks through elementary school hallways every morning. While adults argue past each other on social media and politicians deepen divisions for votes, children between ages 5 and 14 possess something remarkable: minds still open to questions, hearts still eager to [...]
