Second Wind

Rediscovering the craft in a new season of life

Second Wind is for creators who stepped away — and came back. Whether it was injury, career, family, or just losing the thread, this series is about people who found their way back to a pursuit they thought they'd left behind. It's about the specific courage it takes to start again when you know how hard it is.

Who Qualifies

  • Anyone who returned to a pursuit after a significant gap of 1 or more years
  • The return should be active — not just thinking about it
  • Can speak to why they left, what brought them back, what's different now

What You Get

  • Personal narrative feature — the return story
  • Permanent feature in the Second Wind archive
  • Cross-promotion to the 248 wellness, movement, and creator communities
