Happy Weekend!

Hi guys and gals,

Sorry I've been MIA -- it's been a wild end of the year (not in a bad way!) and my energies have been pulled in various directions.

Here's a quick update:

I know some of you know this, but I am RECORDING AN ALBUM! Can you be a Rockstar without one? Of course, but it does build some street cred, I think 😅

It's an amalgamation (love that word lol) of songs I've written over the last 2 decades that I need to get out of my head and my soul once and for all and share them with the world.

It's been an interesting process, to say the least. My vocal chords and range aren't quite what they used to be, but I've been training them for the past several weeks and have another 3-4 weeks before we wrap up the remaining tracks.

I wrote all the chords and lyrics for the songs myself, and then my amazing friends helped me bring them all to life. It's been so wild having how I want things to sound in my head become a reality 🤩

There's some cool stories behind a lot of the songs and I can't wait to share them with you -- I've been spending 2 days a week in the studio since the beginning of December, which has taken WAY more out of me than I anticipated. Not in a bad way, but my creative juices are pretty much dried up once I leave the sessions.

Anyway, I'm going to be changing things up in the community slightly for 2026 -- don't worry, we will still be budgeting and managing money, but I think you guys will appreciate the changes and it will make it more fun in here, too!

I will be in Chicago tomorrow for the IRL and to hear
