The Invisible Threads Substack is Regenerative Journalism™ — media built to leave our civic soil healthier than we found it. Pioneered by Pulitzer-winning journalist Kate Woodsome, the approach combining nervous system literacy with systems thinking, is now being studied by Georgetown University’s Psychology Department alongside the Invisible Threads Impact Lab.

Treating information like a public health tool, Regenerative Journalism digs into the roots of stress and harm, gives people practical resilience skills, tells stories that help communities heal, and shows how personal and collective wellbeing are inseparable. The trauma-informed reporting, analysis, and live conversations on Substack challenge the idea that mental health is just an individual issue — or that democracy is someone else’s responsibility.
