Quick Affix with Sarah Weeger

A letter to my girl, marking the end of 5.5 years “home” with her, so we can both remember.

Shannon Klenk, Finally Effing Happy; The Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is “an alternative treatment for physical pain and emotional distress. It’s also referred to as tapping or psychological acupressure.”

The quote that brought me back here after a long-ish hiatus; why I’m ditching the old format; and what to expect.

A must-listen. My friend Celina gifts us with her *brilliant* essay on what she’s currently struggling with as a full-time mom in isolation (although, this episode applies to pre- and post-pandemic life). Celina vulnerably puts her finger directly on society’s views of a mother’s job versus a mother’s own view of her job, and how her friends show up for her best when she needs them most (hint: by practicing a concept called Acompanar, which was recently introduced to her by Brené Brown). We cap it off with my challenge to you this week, which includes simple ways to make yourself and a mom you know to feel SEEN. Share this episode with... every human you know. It’s that good.

My next-door neighbor, Nita, passed away peacefully last night after a yearlong battle with cancer. Please take the lesson I’ve learned the hard way from her passing, and let this episode motivate you to say the things you’ve been meaning to say TODAY.

What’s the one thing your doctor probably wants to hear that’ll make their day? How my own doctor answered that question. Plus a lesson learned from my appointment with her yesterday and a challenge to us all: to send some scrappy and better mail!

When one of my closest friends told me she had been diagnosed with breast cancer five years ago, I didn't know what to say. So I said nothing. And I always regretted it. Here's the story (briefly) plus: what I've learned TO say the next time a friend receives absolutely terrible news. Sponsored by the “Don’t Know What To Say” card by Hey Weegs.
