For the Cousins processing last nights KTT. 🌙 What does the real you...underneath all the masks ... actually need right now? Not what you've been performing. What you actually need. It's safe to say it in here. 🤎

Tonight's Kitchen Table Talk at 7pm CT. Topic: The Masks We Wear. The roles we play. How exhausting it is to perform yourself every single day. Come as you are. Masks welcome .... we'll talk about them together. 🤎

GOOD MORNING COUSINS. Happy Sunday. 🎉 No deep healing today. Just vibing. Most important question of the weekend: Rugrats or Hey Arnold? AND — which character were you? I already know some of y'all were Angelica and y'all are NOT sorry. 😂 Drop your answer. This is the only assignment today. (Also — if you did something your inner child loved this week, this is your place to celebrate it. Day 5 energy.)

This is the day some of you have been dreading. The mirror day. And I want to say something before you dive in: The fact that you're willing to look? That's the whole thing. Most people never get here. You don't have to share what you saw in the mirror today. Keep it for you. But if you want to drop something in the comments — even something vague — we're here. "The truth I'm finally admitting to myself is..." (Vague is fine. Anonymous-ish is fine. We protect each other in here.) You're getting close to something, Cousin. Day 7 is tomorrow. And I can't wait to tell you what's waiting on the other side. 🎵 Today's soundtrack: Lauryn Hill, front to back. "Miseducation" hits differently when you're doing the work. Let's also add Uncle Mike's (Michael Jackson) - "Man in the Mirror". — Rissa 🤎
