Hi friends! We released another podcast episode this week. You can check it out here and wherever else you get your podcasts. Nicole’s birthday is this weekend and we both are looking forward to deliberately stepping away from “productivity” for a bit. I don’t have much of a preamble in me this week and we can jump right into things after I share this photo of myself. I had to be maybe three years old here? I remember being obsessed with sticking the bows on my head and telling people I was a gift without actually realizing how hilarious and on-brand that is until adulthood.
