I don't have a neat way to open this. The Supreme Court decisions that came down this week hit hard, and I have a feeling a lot of you are sitting with some version of what I'm sitting with — rage, grief, fear, maybe numbness because it's just a lot to feel all at once. I recorded a raw, unscripted episode, processing it out loud. I'm not sharing it here to ask you to perform okay-ness or have it figured out. I'm sharing it because I didn't want any of us to feel like we were sitting with this alone. If you want to listen: https://pod.link/1486711596/episode/MTU3ODk4N2ItNzQ4Ni00NmY4LTk1NDktMGI1OWQyZmE3NTNl And if you just want to drop how you're doing in the comments — one word, one sentence, whatever — I'd love to know I'm not the only one feeling this. We keep going. Together.

As we're wrapping up Pride month, I'm wondering how this month felt for you? I wrote a Substack article that will publish tomorrow about how Pride Month looked different for our family this year than in years past. In some ways, I was surprised (there were not as many traditional celebrations), and in other ways, I realized how our family has grown and evolved over the years. It was actually a cool moment of reflection to see the ways each of our kids has developed their own way of celebrating and advocating. We're often moving so fast from one thing to the next, whether it's work, family, or life, that it takes extra effort to slow down and acknowledge the good or the growth and give kudos to yourself, your partner, your kids or whomever! So my challenge to you today is to take a moment to reflect - you may be surprised to find how much good is hiding in plain sight!

Two announcements about resources in the community: 1. You can find templates, tools, helpful websites, books, and SO MANY more amazing resources under the Classroom tab. Check them out and let me know what you'd like to see more of, or if you have one you'd like me to add. 2. Starting in August, I will be adding more LIVE "Ask Me Anything" calls to the calendar. They will be on different days and times to make them more convenient for you all!

I'd love to hear what everyone is doing this month to celebrate - it doesn't matter how big, small, or random it may seem!
