A Little Thing That Helps

OMG, we made it! We made it to the last Saturday of September, and I don’t know about you, but I’m finding everything way more manageable and less hectic than I did at the beginning of the month. That’s what STRUCTURE will do for you, am I right?! Before we close this month out and move on to spooky and festive October, I want to tell you a sec…

Has life felt really f*cking overwhelming lately, or is it just me? To be honest, one of the ONLY things keeping me sane right now is my dedication to keeping my life and routines structured this month. Which is why I’m so excited to be gathered here with you today, building on the marvelous work we’ve already done. I want to talk to you about…

Hi, friend! I have a question for you: Do you ever feel so f*cking overwhelmed that your whole body vibrates with GAAH?

We’re almost halfway through September, which is kinda crazy - Labor Day was so late this year, and I think we’re all feeling the go-go-go stress that comes with diving headfirst into fall. Luckily, today’s prompt is designed to help you take a step back and reduce overwhelm, while still leaning into structure (this month’s theme, in case …

I’m still glowing from interviewing Elizabeth Gilbert . I have to say I was nervous beforehand because…I mean…it’s Elizabeth F*cking Gilbert! Author of Eat, Pray, Love, cultural icon, and someone so many of us look up to as the model of what living a fully expressed life looks like. But when she got on the screen, with her big glasses and warm smile, my body relaxed, my shoulders softened, and I just felt like I was in the presence of someone who wishes the best for other people.

I know it’s Labor Day weekend and we’re all still feeling a littttle bit like we’re in vacation mode. But I also freaking LOVE that the long weekend falls at the beginning of the month, because it means you might have a bit more time and mental space to journal and decide what you want this month (and season) to BE, and what structu…

Your comments on last week’s post about girls’ trips being the devil and having enough courage to set boundaries with friends made ME feel less alone. I LOVE talking to you, and the comments section is the best place to do it - I read and reply to every single one because I am extra af. One reader sent me an email in response that I thought was so heartfelt it deserved an entire newsletter in response (keep the reactions coming!).

Happy September! Don’t you love this time of year with its first-day-of-school energy? It always makes me think of sharpened pencils, composition notebooks, and that giddy yet grounding feeling of hugging your friends after a long summer apart. But also… there’s that pit-in-your-stomach, summer-is-over DREAD feeling. And if that’s how you’re f…

I’m just as shocked as you are, but it’s going to be SEPTEMBER next week. And we’ve had a lot of fun keeping it light, haven’t we? We journaled on Pronoia, reinvented ourselves like Madonna, reflected on some good trouble… Before we head into the busy, structured month ahead, I want us to wrap this month up with something we all absolutely need…
