Newsletter launches June 1.

Why I’m creating the most thought provoking email you’ll actually want to read.

Editor’s Note: Broken Glass is new. New baby smell new. And while storytelling is key to what we’re setting out to do, I don’t know what Broken Glass will grow up to be. I hope you find that as exciting as I do. So please bear with the growing pains, subscribe to my newsletter, and send me feedback. I want to get this right!

I’m a recovering techie/consultant/coach that moonlights as a writer. I also used to be a dance coach. And technically a private investigator. And a few other things. (What can I say? I’m multi-disciplinary.) But I really only have three skills worth talking about, and they happen to cut across everything I do:

ONE

I create exercises on the fly to help anyone understand abstract concepts.

TWO

I integrate A LOT of different data points and make them useful to others. Even the ones you don’t have words for (yet). 

THREE

I am a master craftsman of all kinds of experiences. From business processes to learning environments and life events, if it’s something humans do, I can make it magical.

This led to 15 years of clients saying:

“Mariel, you helped me see differently! You gave me what I needed, not what I wanted. Now I’ve seen the matrix and can’t go back. I don’t know whether to hug you or block your number”.

Yes, that’s all types of clients - corporate, creative and normal humans too. All of them. All threatening to block me. If that’s not success, then clearly I’ve been trying to open the wrong can of monkeys.

I figured I can’t be the only one who enjoys a hearty round of insight-so-good-you-can’t-speak-to-me-anymore. Neither are my clients.

And neither are you, which is why I started this project.

Broken Glass is where we can all proudly over-think together, and relish the experience.

But if you read that seeing quote and said “Help me see? What this woo-woo b*ll$h!t?” Amen, I say! You are not alone! I feel the same way at least 50% of the time.

You’ll be thrilled to know there’s not a single healing crystal or positive affirmation in sight. (And if that’s your thing, you are welcome here too! It’s just not what I create.)

Because Broken Glass isn’t about what to think. It’s about how you think.

Broken Glass is brass-tacks-meets-practical-magic-meets-philosophy. It’s about our relationship with change and perspective, and what it means to be human.

It’s for people who always ask “What’s going on here, REALLY?”, who can’t help but look beyond the surface level.

But that sounds more woo-woo than it actually is.

Really I just talk about creativity, leadership and life once a week. And sometimes I share guest submissions from crazy talented up-and-coming writers and artists.

And it all feels like an old-school salon mixed with one of those delicious, late night, deep conversations with friends. With maybe a twist or two. And it’s delivered straight to your inbox.

I can’t wait to see how it turns out. I think you’ll love it.

So what are you waiting for?

Subscribe to my newsletter and join me on this ride! It’ll be more fun than an Instagram feed full of dog models.
