One way to think about life is as a series of transitions strung together like pearls on a string. Just as you get settled into a routine, a home, a job, whatever it may be, circumstances change, and you have to move into a new mode of operating. Life is neither a sprint nor a marathon. It is a journey with intermittent sprints, marathons, rest breaks and injuries.

Life has always been this way, but it feels like right now, we are living in particularly volatile times. Between the ever-present threat of illness, the economic turbulence, and all of the ordinary life situations that don't go away just because other things are also hectic, a lot of lives are in a jumble right now. 

It's an uncomfortable place to be. 

Humans often crave some level of stability and the ability to predict where they'll be at some point in the future. When we can't do that, it often gives rise to depression, anxiety, and more. 

Our founder, Emma, learned that lesson first-hand. After a decade of working in the environmental sector, where she consulted with major corporate clients and government agencies to improve sustainable fishing policies and practices, she found her life upended when that career dried up. She also found herself working through a grieving process and an ongoing assessment of who she was, what she valued, and who she wanted to be. 

In doing so, she developed her Myrth protocol, the strategies, habits, and activities she's used for years now to help keep herself moving more or less forward in the direction she wants. It involved a lot of research into happiness, habit building, productivity, and so much more. When she was done building that protocol, she had a regular system of physical, mental, and emotional health practices to support herself as she navigated the transition from one career into another.

All of that research is now coming out here, on Myrth, where we're going to spend the next several months doing a deeper dive into how to make your way through these major life transitions leave many of us feeling so unsettled. It's easy to curl up into a ball on the sofa when these things happen, but it's not sustainable. We want to help you get to a place of Myrth, instead. 

We hope you'll join us.
