We’re going on vacation here at Five and Nine, and before we do, we wanted to share an offering in the form of a bonus episode.
“Just notice what’s alive in your body today.” These wise words will guide you in this beautiful meditation from Britt Pham, co-founder at One of Many Studio. It’s the opening to a conversation that we’ll be publishing in September, when we continue Season 4.
We hope you have a restful and restorative summer in the northern hemisphere.
Season 4 is co-presented with One of Many Studio (OoM), an experience design & consulting studio connecting people with what it means to be a Future Ancestor. OoM works at the intersection of immersive experiences and social change, elevating critical conversations to transform the way we relate to ourselves, each other, and our legacies.
Writer Coaching from Five and Nine’s AX Mina
In this time of tremendous change, we’re all asking how to align ourselves and our careers with our values. How do we communicate our skills as writers? How do we build our platform and get our thoughts and ideas out there to a broader public? How do we (yikes) find courage to speak boldly and clearly on stage? And most of all, what do we stand for? And what about the nuts and bolts — how do you navigate the business side of building out a sustainable writing career?
Five and Nine’s AX Mina offers coaching as a tool for creative career discovery and finding ikigai, or meaning, in our paths toward impactful careers, sustainable livelihoods and personal wellness. And she’s thrilled to partner exclusively with The Shipman Agency to offer coaching specifically for writers.

Five and Nine is a podcast and newsletter at the crossroads of magic, work and economic justice. We publish “moonthly” — every new moon 🌚 and full moon 🌝 — , and we provide an ongoing critical discussion through readings, reflections and debate.
Five and Nine is produced by Five and Nine Futures Lab, a research, design and strategy consultancy that helps organizations and companies build better futures through the lens of work, care and magic.
In this new world, we’re all rethinking the meaning of work and justice in our lives. Our lives and livelihoods are more essential than ever in identifying ways forward for society that can be grounded in care, compassion and sustainability.
