It's one thing to love what you do.
It's quite another to love HOW you do it.
Meaning, how you do it right now, not at some time in the future when you think you're doing it "better" than you do it now.

You know those degrees they want to exclude from the "professional degree" category, thus making them harder for students to finance? Ten of the 14 are fields are dominated by women. They are fields that can help make a woman financially independent. And guess what? 👇

Fab 5 Freddy told me everybody's fly
DJ spinnin', I said, "My, my"
Flash is fast, Flash is cool
François c'est pas, flashé no deux
And you don't stop, sure shot
Go out to the parking lot
And you get in your car and drive real far

Placing greater importance on mental health without equally emphasizing emotional health is like having a mechanically sound car with no fuel in it.

If I could bottle up all the time and energy adult daughters spend withholding information from their mothers because they don't want to spend their time and energy answering their mothers' questions and explaining themselves...well, there's not a bottle or container big enough. 1/2

I've said it before and I'll say it a million time more: tirzepatide doesn't correct habits, behavior, or "lifestyle," it corrects the way your body stores and accesses the energy it gets in the form of food. #glp1 #tirzepatide

I tell ya, there's something freeing about this, that I wasn't prepared for, but I am here for it! Now that they have served the greater good, they're free to go. Double mastectomy is scheduled for March 3.

"Dear Elon,
Here’s what I did last week:
1. Well I woke in the morning
2. And I stepped outside
3. And I took a deep breath
4. And I got real high
5. And I screamed at the top of my lungs “WHAT’S GOING ON?!” ~ @audhdmentor.bsky.social

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.
