We’re currently on the calendar for THURSDAY night at Pizza Luce. Low-key. Easy. Pizza + good humans. Before I lock it all the way in, quick pulse check: Would you rather 🍕 Keep THURSDAY night pizza ☕ Switch to a Saturday morning coffee hang Comment 🍕 or ☕ and I’ll go with the group. Either way, the goal is the same: being together. Joy is better in community.

How are you really doing today? Not the polished answer. The honest one. Is there anything you need right now? Support. A resource. A prayer. A laugh. A meal. A listening ear. You don’t have to carry it alone in here. If you’re feeling strong, stick around and hold space. If you’re feeling heavy, this is a safe place to set it down. Drop a word, an emoji, or a sentence below - or send me a DM. I am an ally! We’re here. I am here. Joy doesn’t rush you… it sits with you.

MN friends 💛 Sending so much love to our community today. This week has reminded us why community matters - why showing up, checking in, and standing together is everything. If you’ve been feeling heavy, you’re not alone. If you’ve been feeling hopeful, share that too. We hold it all here. And speaking of being together… Who’s coming to brunch on the 18th? 🥐☕️ Good food. Real connection. Big Minnesota hearts. Drop a 💛 if you’ll be there or if you’re sending love from wherever you are.

Who to root for tomorrow. Bears or Packers? I’m so torn!!!!! 😂😂🤦🏻‍♀️🙄

I’ll be in Duluth on Tuesday morning filming a TV segment for my upcoming book, Joy Is the Strategy. I’ve got a little window around 10am and would love to grab coffee and a hello. Who’s in? @Krissy Johnson? @Destiny Godden? Anyone else? Or anyone who I should be reaching out to?
