A Fresh Start to the Day: Thursday, November 7th
It's okay to feel shitty during shitty times.
Good morning, friend,
We know you may be feeling a lot right now. And we’re right here with you. We love you. See below for some self-care and remember, we’re just an email/DM away.
Self Care:
Love yourself
Affirmation: I am loved.
Organize your life
Take 4 minutes and turn on a song you love. Just listen to it and breathe.

Feed yourself:
☕️ muffin + string cheese
🥗 chicken cutlet + grapes + croutons + ranch dressing + romaine
🥪 grilled cheese
🍽️ pasta + sauce + parmesan cheese + chocolate cake
Conversation starters:
Tell a joke
Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side. (it’s not funny, but we’re sad today)
Podcast
We chatted with

She shared how her experience transformed her, leading her to become a passionate patient advocate and storyteller. Taylor discussed the impact of her illness on her acting career, relationships, and motherhood, and how she uses humor and authenticity to empower others facing similar challenges. Her story is a powerful testament to surviving adversity and finding strength in vulnerability – listen here!
