Tea with Diane

A casual conversation about Hearth, life, the patriarchy, and why we need many more inner activists

This week, I’m doing things a little differently. I don’t have a full article from the Q&A video I did about Hearth, but the show is linked here if you’d like to watch it.

Topics covered include:

• Exactly what Hearth is and the point of the brand

• Allowing someone under 35 to be part of it

• Defining women and why I’m segmenting

• Defining “creative expression”

• Why I’m doing Hearth

• The patriarchy is real

• Material success is going in the wrong direction - I recount a story of seeing three children on a massive garbage heap in India and how they lit up with pure joy when I waved back at them. It was as impactful as the teaching I was attending by The Dalai Lama.

• Everyone is welcome at Hearth - well, not alpha assholes

• Being an inner activist and why I think it’s crucial that more people start talking about and helping people heal from the inside out. We will not solve any of the world’s problems until we look inside and work on ourselves first.

• Women Writers in the Wild popups in New Mexico

(Watch on Youtube!)

Check it out - it’s much more than a Q&A. The video is like an opinion piece framed through a Q&A.

Please feel free to let me know what you think.

And I hope you find joy in all that you do today.
