I think we are getting too ahead of ourselves about AI. Let's focus on the tangible things and let the future be the future. For example, like the sweet relationships you can have with your neighbors!! Hope you enjoy.

Catherine Barnett actually knew my dad when they went to Gunn High School together. When my dad suggested I reach out to Catherine, I did some background research and quickly recognized how creative and immersive she is.

She is the author of 4 poetry collections and found her calling in teaching. She now teaches at NYU in a competitive graduate program for creative writing, where she challenges aspiring novelists of all different ages to connect to deeper layers of themselves and inspire them to constantly be an observer in life.

And she never fails to write 3 pages a day :)

I think I have a different perspective on people-pleasing than I did previously...I think, naturally, being a woman, I am predisposed to be a bit of a people pleaser - I think it's a lot less productive than we think.

I could talk to Eavan (pronounced Evan) forever. My empathetic, Pisces queen! She was diagnosed with a rare disease called Stargardt, which basically causes degeneration of central vision. So while Eavan physically sees the world with a blurry center, the second you hear her, it’s crystal clear how bright, infectious, and genuinely uplifting she is.

When she realized how few supportive, positive communities existed for people with different levels of blindness, she started BrightSide, to bring people on the blind spectrum together and form meaningful relationships with people who understand. Eavan is pure joy and sunshine, and I hope you feel that energy when you listen to her share her experiences.

Elise and her sister created these cookies with a simple idea in mind: sometimes you just want one perfect cookie after dinner—every dinner. Growing up with parents in the restaurant business, the sisters baked treats for their neighbors, and their commitment to high-quality ingredients eventually led them to ship cookies nationwide.

Elise shares what it’s like to go into business with her sister, the state of the chocolate chip cookie industry, and how she fell in love with her high school sweetheart. Enjoy!

Kiki is the co-founder of SourMilk, an intentionally probiotic-rich yogurt sourced from dairy farms in Upstate New York. She shares the story of how she and her co-founder took the leap almost a year ago, transitioning from corporate life to becoming full-time couriers.

Since their full launch, they’ve completed over 8,000 hand-to-hand deliveries across NYC. You might even spot Kiki zipping through the city with her signature blue backpack. I hope you enjoy her story!

If it isn't already abundantly and annoyingly clear, I ran my first marathon. Not all rainbows and roses, let me tell you, but an unforgettable experience and lots of attention, lol!

A lot of us at this age are also entering a time in our lives when things with our significant others are getting serious, so I touched on navigating this and a few things I am personally mindful of!
