The Mettā View

By Anne V Mühlethaler

The Mettā View weaves together stories, lessons, and reflections from the varied areas of my work—business development, conscious communication, coaching, mindfulness, and strategy—while offering a mindful lens that invites new perspectives and insights. It’s a gift from my heart-mind to you, dear reader. May it bring you inspiration and invite moments of reflection and connection. About me? Formerly a business fashion executive for Christian Louboutin, I'm now an entrepreneur, mindfulness coach, podcaster & writer. Weekly I share the Mettā View, but you can also find me on Out of the Clouds, a podcast at the crossroad between business and mindfulness. For meditation offering, head over to Insight Timer.

A tender journey into presence

Hey Reader, I vividly remember when I first came across Julia's work. It was summer 2020, and I was on the phone to Hanna Fiedler, the designer and founder of her namesake brand. She had sent me her lookbook images so I could get a sense of her latest collection. My analytical mind first appraised the images for the garments — their cut, style, and so on. "Lovely," I said, or something along those lines. But moments later, I asked: "Who took those photographs?" My eyes were glued to a couple...

What's hiding in your jewellery box?

Hey Reader, Earlier this week, I found myself digging out a massive ring from the back of my cupboard – hidden in a small box, tucked inside a bag, buried under years of "I'll deal with this later." The ring It belonged to my maternal great-grandmother, a fabulous (and very kind) woman who I only know as Mamée (maybe it was Simone?). Mamée wore this extravagant (by today’s standards) cocktail ring every single day of her later life. Or let me rephrase: every single time I saw her for the...

From our community, for our community: Join the Le Trente gift guide

Hey Reader, When I was preparing to host my seasonal closet sale in early November, I remembered how many wonderful small businesses exist within our Le Trente network. Don't be surprised by this community-first approach – it's as much part of my enthusiastic personality as it is baked into Le Trente's DNA (discover the numerological meaning of the number thirty for further details on that). While it was lovely to showcase some of these offerings in my space, I realised I wanted to do more to...

Conversations worth having

Hey Reader, Some weeks the universe conspires to deliver an embarrassment of riches, and this is one of them. My cup overflows with conversations, connections, and upcoming gatherings that remind me why we do this work of weaving community together. For The Metta Interview, I've adored my conversations with Paulette Perhach, Julia Astok, and Danielle Keller Aviram. All three brilliant women. Each wildly different from each other, yet without a doubt, sharing common values. Meet Paulette, a...

November gatherings to brighten your month

Hey Reader, First, if you're one of our recent subscribers—welcome! It's lovely to have you join our Le Trente community.There's something about November, the way the light changes, how we naturally turn inward. We might feel our energy dipping just as we sense the year-end rush approaching. For me, it's certainly managing a certain overwhelm, working on my never-ending to-do lists. To counterbalance what can feel like November blues (at least here in Geneva, though not today with the sun...

The geometry of gathering

Hey Reader, First, if you are one of the new folks who recently joined us, welcome! ✨ Here's something I'd like to share with you. The most transformative moments in my life have happened in circles—when someone else's question or feedback opened my metaphorical eyes. Or rather, the virtual Zoom-squares equivalent of a circle. And instead of a talking stick, there was the unmute button. But you get my gist. There's something about the geometry of gathering: how we naturally soften when we sit...
