I’ve been using Claude to really help me lock in on my hottest version era & my businesses. My H2 plan is in full swing, and I couldn’t feel more aligned. Thank you guys for being here on this journey 🙂 Get ready for the most amazing back half of 2026!

On another note, one of my besties and I were chatting this week about feeling more fearful in her luteal phase. It’s true! Our brains have this natural shift towards “avoiding danger” in our luteal phases, whereas we naturally “approach opportunities” in our follicular phases. So cool, right? I was looking back in the archives for the episode we’ve done on this topic and had to rewind all the way back to episode 21 almost 2 years ago (back when I had no idea about editing or production!), so maybe I need to cover this topic again…? Understanding what is happening in my brain at each phase of my cycle has truly changed the way I structure my weeks.

What is something you experienced or did this week that your 8 year old self would be amazed by?

When you’re talking in a group, try to make eye contact with every member of the group throughout the conversation. Most people only make eye contact with the person that asked the question, which isolates the other people in the conversation. There is nothing more isolating than being “in the circle” but not “in the conversation”. As a side note, watch what happens in a group of men and women mixed… most of the guys will only make eye contact with each other! Just another reason I like to make an effort to bring each person into the conversation through eye contact.

A tennis bracelet has become a new staple in my everyday jewelry! My hubby let me design my dream tennis bracelet for our 7th wedding anniversary, and I couldn’t be more obsessed! (This NYC-based private jeweler brought my vision to life!) A few tips I learned during the design process: 2-3 carats or more is less likely to “flip” on you, a double clasp is a necessity (it’s the part that breaks most often!), and an underlock clasp has less chance of getting caught on your clothes than a butterfly clasp.
