Hello!
As a friend of Mettle, you might have noticed some changes emerging around here. We want to share the journey we’re on, introduce you to our growing team, and invite you to join us over in our new membership space to check out what we’ve been building. Explore it here.
Six years ago, BJ and I founded Mettle with the fundamental belief that there is more to be done to care for people navigating illness, death, and grief. Care is often described in a reduced sense: providing medical assistance or supervision. We know that care can be found in many other places and forms. Care is witnessing another person’s truth, sitting without fixing, an intimate conversation, a meal left on a front porch, a text for no reason, or just a sense of belonging. Mettle is about honoring and creating more access to the many forms care can take.
For years, we’ve supported people through sessions with practitioners who specialize in all that comes with illness, grief, and death and our work is rooted in this care practice, being connected to what people are experiencing as parents, partners, children, friends and family.
What we heard from so many of you is that you felt a sense of connection with fellow travelers on this journey of life. We heard from you that you wanted more. New ways to go deeper with Mettle and with each other.
So as of today, we’re doing just that.
We’ve expanded what Mettle is becoming—to create more space for community, connection, and collective wisdom.
More ways to care means more wonderful humans to build out our team. We want to introduce you to the important folks we’ve brought in over the last year, who are not only helping to build Mettle but also are active members of our community. They’re excited to meet you. Meet our team.
With love,
Sonya Dolan & BJ Miller, MD
