The Twelfth House

Continuing on our theme of spiritual and squiggly brained operating systems this month, we’re chatting with Pia Beck of Curate Well Co. about the ins and outs of running her business with a squiggly (or neuro-divergent) brain. Pia graciously speaks about her experience of receiving an OCD diagnosis, and how this has changed her understanding of herself as an entrepreneur, running several businesses.

After a career in people operations in the tech and startup worlds, Pia started Curate Well Co. Today, Curate Well Co. helps brands change narratives and redefine norms in industries that are desperately calling for something different.

Follow along with Pia and her ventures at @curatewellco @piabeck_ @consideredsb.co

Happy New Year and welcome back to the Twelfth House! This month we’re reflecting on what’s in our spiritual and squiggly brained SOS kits.

Throughout January we’ll be musing on how to soothe our psyches and our souls, when in spiritual crisis, and sharing what we turn towards when going through spiritual growth spurts. We’ll also be dissecting with the team and featured guests how to work with, instead of against, our neuro-divergent, squiggly brained ways of being.

On today’s episode, Michelle, Janelle, and Wallis join in discussion to share their most treasured resources and habits for dealing with dark nights of the soul of the past and what’s in their toolkits as of late.

We’re musing on big Q’s like…

• How do we know if we’re in a spiritual growth spurt?


• What were the integral resources which helped you get through your darkest night of the soul?


• What’s in our SOS toolkit now?

Check out our ShopMy page for the list of resources mentioned in the episode here.
