"We tell ourselves that we have failed if we aren’t wildly successful. We have poisoned contentment by demanding excellence in everything we have and do.
Living a quiet, comfortable life is no longer enough — we insist on being wealthy, famous, and influential."

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning was a disappointment 😕
Trite storyline, overblown action scenes, and when did Tom Cruise become the William Shatner of acting??
I kept hoping it'd get better but sadly, it never did.

Don't you find being angry all the time exhausting?
Life is so short and unpredictable.
One day it seems like the "issues" matter, but then you realize it's all sh!t.
Sunshine on your face
Nourishing food
Belly Laughs
Family
Hugs
These things matter.

Thunderbolts is great. Florence Pugh is great. Excellent MCU install. Highly recommend.

I'm absolutely floored and saddened to learn Voke has closed shop 😭
I was recommended this amazing product in a #menopause support group when searching for something, anything to help with brain fog.
Those chewables were a f*cking Godsend!

The right people who are supposed to be in your life will show up, and then you won't have to chase them to stick around.
These folks are your circle, your support.
But others are in your life for a reason and a season. Trust that.

Substack isn't even worth it.
Stop paying Nazi tithes.
Reclaim your moral center.
Make more money. It's a no brainer.

Former Substack creators say they’re earning more on new platforms that offer larger shares of subscription revenue
Former Substack writers who exited the platform in early 2024 are making more money on Beehiiv and Ghost thanks to their fixed pricing models.

How did I get through menopause??
Scathed, battered, beaten, and bruised ... but not broken... without HRT.
No shade but HRT isn't for everyone for a myriad of reasons.
Yes, I suffered and maybe HRT could have helped with symptoms but it's not a cure.

A word about social media marketing...
When someone (a brand) is always talking (posting), it likely means there's not a lot of listening happening.

Don’t spend years #writing 500 words daily, never sharing a thing.
My drafts were in digital purgatory.
Then I started hitting publish weekly. Terrifying? Yes.
But those "not good enough" posts helped more people than my perfect drafts ever did.
Stop waiting. Hit publish. Your words matter.
