Am I overthinking this? 🫣


Hey Reader!

I spent 6 hours building a new desk for my office yesterday. It's beautiful and I love it and it makes so much more sense for the space.

But... I really built it for someone else.

In about a month, my husband and I are heading out of the country for 5 weeks, and we're house swapping with another family, which will save us a boatload of money on accomodations.

I'm super excited, and I'm also overthinking every little detail 🫣

I've started looking at every corner of my house through the hypothetical lens of someone else living with my things for several weeks, determined to get everything perfectly organized (as a decidedly disorganized person, this is no small feat).

Which is how I wound up spending 6 hours building a new desk for my office.

For the most part, these days, I embrace my weird and messy and quirky. I've learned to tap into my dorky middle school self, who used to put on lunchtime shows with zero self-consciousness, something I lost and regained (and lost and regained) so many times over the years.

I guess I'm not quite ready to fully embrace that side of myself when it comes to having someone else living in my space.

In my business, though, I let my freak flag fly, and I want you to do that, too. That's what we're digging into in this week’s episode of Bold Women in Business. Watch/listen below 👇

Hey Reader! Every week, when I sit down to batch my content, I ask myself one essential question: What gear am I in this week? Low, medium, or high? And I'll be honest: The past few weeks have been low, low, and low again. A low gear week is when I've just got too much going on, and my content needs bare-minimum input. Between being busy with client projects, wrapping up my current Bold Content Collective cohort, and getting ready to leave the country for 5 weeks, it's no surprise I've been...

Hey Reader! Every time Tzvi and I come back from a trip, somebody asks us some version of the same question: "So, which near-death experiences did you get yourselves into this time?" It's a fair question. We have a bit of a track record 🫣 Like that time during Covid when we went hiking in the Adirondacks without food, water, or gear, and hit a full-on blizzard by the time we got to the peak. We swore we'd never do something that stupid again. ...Until the story I'm telling on this week's...

Wildlife gif. A white owl turns his head to look straight at us and has an expression of pure shock. Its eyes are wide and its mouth is open as if gasping.

Hey Reader! A few nights ago I was taking my supplements with dinner, fully on autopilot, when I realized (with a gasp of horror!) that I'd just swallowed my morning ADHD meds right along with them. It was 6:30pm, and I immediately started panicking about the sleepless night I was sure was coming. I take my ADHD meds first thing every morning because it's a stimulant, and my sleep is already a nightly negotiation with my anxiety and chronic pain. My very first thought, as soon as the pills...
