Reader...

You know when you would give anything to go back 5 seconds?

That was me at 9:07 am last Tuesday.

As I leaned over to put hummus in my fridge, I twisted the wrong way and tweaked my back. Instant pain shot down my right hip and my lower back seized in pain.

I'm fine. I mean, I'm sure I will be. I mostly feel embarrassed.

I hurt my back putting away hummus. Now I have icepacks stuffed into the waistband of my cut-off sweatpants.

Since I'm being asked to slow down this week, here are a few highlights to scroll through:

​

Take my plants, please? 🪴

If you're in Colorado, I wanna hang out with you this summer at my Therapist Chillout Networking Events.

Sure, I'd love to connect with you. But I also have 15+ spider plant propogations for attendees to take home. Come for the coffee, leave with a plant baby.

Please.

​

Meme of the week: Relatable?

Well, I feel called out. 😐

Does this apply to GenXers too? Gen Z?

Please tell me if hoarding iPhone boxes is a universal struggle or if it should become a new niche for my private practice.

Once I pay off my student loans...💰

...I will go into debt eating from Heaven Creamery.

My sweetie and I discovered Heaven Creamery, an artisan ice cream shop with 18 vegan flavors! Eighteen!! 🍦🍦🍦

As a dairy-free girlie, I often settle for freezer-burned sorbet while my friends savor their triple-fudge sundaes. Never again!

Hot Content Summer 🩴

With the warming weather, my dog, Hazel, and I take long walks to a nearby pond. She scouts the ducks, and I catch up on podcasts.

Do you have any podcast or audiobook recommendations?

Hit "reply" to tell me what you're listening to this summer.

I need some new content for my earbuds. Personal or business recommendations are welcome.

If you're looking for a podcast, you might enjoy this interview I did with Linzy Bonham about copywriting and financial freedom.

K, gotta sign off now.

Time to change out my ice packs.
