Welcome to the Summer 2025 issue.
Living the Call, Lighting the Way
In these pages, we explore legacy—not as something we leave behind, but as something we live into, day by day, moment by moment. Legacy is not an inheritance. It is a presence—a felt sense of alignment with our values, our intuition, and the truth that lives within us as parents, partners, and sovereign human beings.
This issue of Pathways speaks to that living legacy. It honors the voice within us that rises—sometimes in resistance to cultural norms, sometimes in the form of difficult questions—and calls us to live differently. Sometimes rebelliously, but always responsibly. Not against society, but for our children.
Whether it's the raw honesty of a father coming into his power in “The Birth of a Man,” the unflinching curiosity explored in “10 Reasons Why I’ll Never Get Another Vaccine,” or the groundbreaking insight into neurological development and misdiagnosis in “The Core of Autism,” each piece in this issue reveals a moment when someone said: I choose to listen to my own knowing.
We look at legacy not only through what we desire to protect, but also through what we will no longer ignore. “It Starts With Him” reminds us that the lineage of life begins in the body of the father—that his health, his coherence, his awareness matter deeply in the story of fertility and family. And “Circumcision Is Amputation” asks us to confront the practices we’ve inherited without consent, calling us to reevaluate and realign with what we know is right—even if it’s inconvenient, even if it’s unpopular.
Legacy, then, is not about perfection. It’s about presence. It’s about the courage to stand for what resounds as true, even when it disrupts what we’ve been told. And in doing so, we light the torch for those who come after us.
This issue is for the ones willing to question, to reimagine, and to take full responsibility for the life they are creating. It is for those who know that freedom isn’t taught—it’s modeled. That intuition isn’t random—it’s an innate guide to the life of our dreams. That parenting isn’t about fitting in—it’s about remembering who we are, so our children never forget who they are, and the gift of the life they are given.
