We Are Tide Risers

09/18/2026

Greetings Tide Risers!

I am thrilled to reconvene our community after a summer hiatus with our upcoming quarterly online check-in on September 21. I’ll be bringing to this conversation some thinking I’ve been doing about the value of balancing consistent routine with an ability to be nimble and flexible in our response to unexpected events.

Routine gives us the framework to ensure we are caring for ourselves and our loved ones, accomplishing meaningful work, and providing stewardship for our community. It also gives us something to return to when we have been blown off course by unforeseen circumstances. The practice of setting intentions and creating a routine of checking in on those intentions enables us to more quickly bounce back from the distractions that come our way.

That’s what we have been doing within the Tide Risers community for years now, giving ourselves not only the benefit of living with greater intentionality, but building a meaningful community of support and accountability while we’re at it.
I invite you to join us for this upcoming conversation, whether or not you have set intentions for this year. We are extending this session to 90 minutes to give us more time for deep conversation. As we all know those 60 minute sessions always seem to go by too quickly! I look forward to seeing you all online soon.

Cheers,
Lara

Intentions help us strive toward how we want to BE in this world, while goals help us drive toward what we want to DO. Intentions, when created in a meaningful and actionable way, can help us create the life experience we want, while helping us find new and creative solutions to long-standing problems.

We offer these continuing accountability check-ins throughout the year to give you the opportunity to pause and reflect on your intentions so you are able to pursue them with strength and purpose.

Dear Tide Risers and Friends,

I am heartbroken to share the news of the passing of Tide Risers Founding Member and very dear personal friend of mine, Laura Torrisi. She passed unexpectedly but peacefully leaving behind a loving family and an enormous community of friends.

‘Friend’ doesn’t do justice to Laura’s and my relationship of over thirty years. Laura was my first professional boss, my cherished mentor, my thought partner, my creative spark generator, and an esteemed member of my ‘kitchen cabinet’, without whom I never made any important life decisions. She was the beloved matriarch of my urban family in New York and present for every important family event for the past three decades.

I loved her dearly, and cannot imagine what my life would have been like without her. She taught me everything I needed to know about running a business, raising daughters, and creating a home. She was my refuge when I needed a safe port and unreservedly my most stalwart supporter, cheering me on no matter how outlandish my latest project may have seemed. She was one of the first to sign up for Tide Risers when I founded it in 2017 and has been a presence at our gatherings ever since.

The day after Laura passed, Banksy posted his latest installation of a street bollard casting a shadow of a lighthouse, with the caption 'I want to be what you saw in me.' Well, I couldn't have said it better myself. I took this as a reminder of the importance of mentors in our lives and our responsibility to live up to our potential as mentors to others. So I've decided to postpone our scheduled topic for this month, and instead focus tomorrow's Abundant Learning session on mentorship. Details here: https://www.wearetiderisers.com/abundant-learning-2025//mentorship

I hope you will join me for this important conversation.

Keep the tide rising, my friends.

Lara
