*Sensitivity Alert

Alexandra and Anna embrace September being Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. Anna spent a good chunk of September in 6th grade classrooms piloting a suicide prevention curriculum. It used to be that we would pack a bag and make a plan to run away. These days, kids tend to go straight to expressing they don't want to live anymore. Alexandra put out her first Instagram reel sharing that prevention really needs to start earlier and with teaching kids and adults that emoting is okay, even if it feels awful. Alexandra is also excited to announce the launching of her new digital course to help people work through messages and projections we take on as children so they can start trusting themselves again. Life is often considered linear but it is more like an ocean. The predictability comes in trusting ourselves that we can handle whatever life hands us. Her course- the Forward to Joy Masterclass is a tool to help people navigate the sludge or cobwebs we take on that prevent us from truly trusting ourselves. Reach out with any questions or for more info.

This week, Anna is still fighting a cold of some sort. She's not contagious, it's not COVID but she sure did scare some colleagues who potentially thought she might have it. Being sick doesn't exempt her from having embarrassing situations arise, including getting stuck while trying to scoot past someone. Anna and Alexandra recall their experience seeing Macklemore and Imagine Dragons live. Everyone at the show was all about unity and kindness until it was midnight and they had to go find their cars and sit in traffic to exit the venue. Alexandra’s house is like a Monet, it looks nice when driving by but once you get close, it's obvious there is still a lot of work to do. Anna discusses how her stress has manifested into her pinched nerve and cold, which has led her to de-stress by watching Selling the OC and Selling Sunset. Stay tuned because Anna may start wearing her high heels again and enjoy the STW joke of the day!
