Thank You
To everyone who shared your experience through the ROOTED survey, thank you. We’ve been deeply moved by your honesty, vulnerability, and shared desire for something different.
In just a few short weeks, over 100 of you from around the world have joined this growing community. Each response reminded us that the exhaustion, pressure, and disconnection so many feel aren’t personal failings. They’re signals. And we’re stronger when we face them together.
What You Shared With Us
Across 100+ responses, strong patterns emerged:
•95% described a regular struggle with sleep and chronic exhaustion.
•Many described feeling disconnected from their sense of purpose and true self.
•Amid noise and never-ending to-do lists, it’s not just time people are running out of; it’s space. The kind of space where real reflection happens. Where clarity emerges. Where choice returns.
These aren’t isolated experiences. They’re collective echoes from people doing their best in a world that rarely pauses.
We’ve felt them too. In fact, ROOTED was born out of that same fatigue.
But we believe that there has to be another way.
Where We’re Headed Next
Thanks to your input, our vision for The ROOTED Way has become clearer. Here’s what’s coming:
The ROOTED Weekly
Our newsletter begins next week with a deep dive into the ROOTED pillars, starting with a topic nearly everyone called out: SLEEP. Andrew will share candid reflections on his own journey, plus evidence-based tools to improve rest and resilience.
Practitioner Spotlights & Shared Stories
We’ll introduce guides, coaches, and fellow travelers that are helping shape the ROOTED way. Look out for their wisdom and personal stories from their journeys battling burnout and finding balance amidst an ‘always-on’ culture.
Mini ROOTED Resets: This Summer
We’re gathering across Europe and online for short, immersive experiences centered on breathwork, gut health, fasting, meditation, strength training, and more. Each is designed to deepen our shared experience and lay the groundwork for a ROOTED way of living.
Fall Retreat, 1x1 Coaching, and More
Curious about the fall retreat? Have ideas or questions? Want to explore how ROOTED could support your next chapter? We’d love to connect.
We’re not just building a retreat. We’re building a movement, a return to health in all its forms: mental clarity, emotional steadiness, physical vitality. We believe this is the new foundation of performance. And health isn’t a reward you earn after burnout; it’s the foundation for everything.
Thank you for being here at the beginning. We’re figuring it out together—and we’re so grateful you’re with us.
With heart,
Andrew, Zeger & Ashley
