Today I’m officially 1 year alcohol-free 🫶🏻 I did it.

My bra after my first session of EMDR therapy.

Any deodorant companies want to sponsor me? Next session is in a week.

If you woke up to less reviews on your Google Business Profile, it’s because Google is implementing stricter policies and removing “spammy” reviews.

The reviews will still be seen on your profile, but they will not be included in your total count.

The quote that motivated me to take the leap into entrepreneurship 🫨

Looking for a Claire’s to pierce my dog’s ears

I read the book On Tyranny by @timothysnyder.bsky.social
and the last chapter reads one sentence: “If none of us is prepared to die for freedom, then all of us will die under tyranny.”

We are all responsible for protecting the collective and defending our democracy.

This scared the shit out of me. I’ve stocked up on Plan B and have encouraged others to do the same.

Thank you for your work

it's been a rough week so i thought i'd rotate a gyro for everyone. as a treat

Just subscribed to your Substack and am really enjoying your content.

I just finished reading “On Tyranny” and the author @timothysnyder.bsky.social recommended finding a trusted journalist to support. It led me to find you!

Thank you for your effort and amazing work!

I deleted my X, but before that, I had the chance to see what the platform has become after not logging in since it was formerly known as Twitter.

If you’re curious, literally every single post is something like, ‘If you saw Trump homeless and naked on Bourbon Street, would you give him $5?’

🙃

I’m starting EMDR therapy and my therapist said we will start at the beginning of my life and work to the present. I think I need to make a PowerPoint presentation…

Finished ‘The Message’ by Ta-Nehisi Coates and I’m left with so much to think about. His perspective on culture and identity is eye-opening and essential. WOW.

I just finished reading it! He has a beautiful way of writing. Every sentence feels intentional and has a powerful message.

When someone says Google Ads didn’t work for them, I often wonder how to gently suggest that the issue might not be with Google itself…🤔

Here’s my advice on how to accomplish anything. Hope it helps!

Bad data = bad ads. AI isn’t magic—it can’t fix broken tracking or define your strategy. If your ads are flopping, it’s not the tool. It’s the setup.

Elon Musk's gesture at Trump's inauguration is a symbol of a dangerous flirtation with fascism. The normalization of this, even under the guise of historical reference, is a dangerous step backward.

History shows us that silence in the face of extremism only empowers it.

Any other entrepreneurs editing their own YouTube videos?

Ok #booksky, let’s talk.

👎🏼Goodreads, owned by Amazon, fuels its monopoly on books.

👍🏼StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform, offers an ethical, ad-free alternative with mood-based recommendations, user control over data, and a focus on inclusivity. Support diversity over corporate power!

DuckDuckGo’s market share has been steadily increasing. Decentralized social media is growing in popularity.

As an advertiser and a business owner, this is our kryptonite. We want data.

I don’t think these tech giants are worried about your data privacy. They’re worried about your trust.

This TikTok ban is a political stunt. I don’t trust anything anymore. I feel like a pawn. Disgusting.
