Hello. Glad you’re here!

What a month it’s been! Last month I woke up to 100 subscribers, today I’m at 149. Who will be lucky #150?

What I’m doing seems to be working. I have a vibrant chat and have had some amazing conversations in recent roundtables. This month, I’m focusing even more on amplifying other creators’ work, starting with Lina Abou Ibrahim - the inspiration for this week’s Roundtable.

If you haven’t joined one of these yet, this is one that you won’t want to miss. We’ll be discussing how our own beliefs may be holding us back from the life we want to lead. Hope to see you there!

The presents, honestly, usually aren’t that great. (Shhh... don’t tell him that.) …

ADHD is part of my family’s everyday life, so I immediately connected with ADHD Approved. I love how she takes the chaos that can come with ADHD and turns it into practical, research-informed strategies without shame or the expectation that we need to “fix” ourselves. Her writing is thoughtful, compassionate, and incredibly validating, especially for women and moms trying to build a life that actually works for their brains.
