We are featured in Skool ad on Meta (Facebook)!!!!🎊. The other day I spotted @Melissa Boster Menopause Skool on an ad. I'll keep watching for more! What is your small brag/win for this Friday morning?

A reminder for our newer faces (and honestly, all of us): One of the fastest ways to gain clarity isn’t doing more content. It’s letting other smart humans into your thinking. Borrow the room is a simple, low-pressure way to do that. This is a collaboration prompt. Not a pitch. Not a performance. The goal is to get our community talking, asking better questions, and spotting opportunities together. Post the following: 1️⃣ What you’re working on right now (keep it short. Think context, not a backstory) 2️⃣ One question or decision you’re stuck on Something you’d actually appreciate another set of eyes on 3️⃣ How others can help you right now Feedback, ideas, connections, collaboration, clarity, encouragement — name it Then commit to being part of the room: ✔ Jump into at least 2 other posts ✔ Ask a thoughtful question or offer a practical suggestion ✔ Share honest, grounded input. No hype. No fluff. This community works best when we use it with each other, not beside each other. You don’t have to grow alone. Borrow the room💙

I've been thinking about how easy it is to create in a vacuum. You make something you're proud of, hit publish, and then... crickets. Or you get lost wondering if it's actually landing. But when someone from your community shows up to actually engage, leaves a real comment, asks a thoughtful question, suggests a next step, that's when the work feels real. So this week, let's be that person for each other. Drop a link to your latest thing below. Blog post, podcast episode, video, pin—whatever you've put out into the world. Then come back and click through someone else's. Don't just like it. Listen. Watch. Engage. Leave a comment that shows you actually consumed it. Ask a question. Point out something that landed. Or if you spot a way to make it even stronger, share that too on this post. This is how we all get better.

Even athletes need recovery days. Your mind is no different. You can't be "on" all the time. Social media isn't a 24/7 game. But so many of us treat it like it is, checking first thing in the morning, last thing at night, during meals, during conversations. It's exhausting because it is exhausting. Heavy social media use correlates with lower well-being, especially when it displaces sleep and real-world connection. The more time you spend scrolling instead of sleeping or being present with people you care about, the worse you feel. Recovery time is not lazy. It's essential. Try "social media sabbaths": a few hours or a whole day offline each week. Replace scrolling with small rituals: a walk, journaling, stretching, even just staring out the window. Track your mood before and after scrolling. Often, patterns reveal themselves quickly. You might notice that 20 minutes of scrolling leaves you feeling drained. Or that a walk clears your head in ways endless doomscrolling never will. This is part of a series from the bonus chapter of my upcoming book, Redefining Showing Up: Your Permission Slip to Using Social Media for Business on Your Terms. Your move: Pick one day this week to take a true break from your phone. Just a few hours. Notice how you feel during and after. When was the last time you took a real break from your phone, and how did you feel? ⚡

So I.lost my flame 🔥 today. I've had it since December and was.proud to have been so consistent, but this week at Social Media Marketing World I wanted to be as present as possible. I have made so many incredible connections and ...had conversations that genuinely shifted something in me. The kind you don't plan for. The kind where you're standing in a hallway between sessions and suddenly you're talking about the real stuff — why you started, what you're building, where this is all going. I met people who are asking the same questions I am. Doing the work. Figuring it out. And being in a room full of them reminded me why I do this. So yeah — the flame is gone. And honestly? I'm not even mad about it. Because the whole point of what I teach is that consistency isn't about the streak. It's about the intention behind it. And this week, my intention was to be fully present with the people in front of me — not performing presence for an app. That's not losing. That's choosing. I'll rebuild the streak. But I wouldn't trade those conversations for anything.
