Hello Reader,

Quick catch-up if you missed my last email: men run on a tidy 24-hour hormonal cycle. That’s why the world built a 9-to-5 and called it “normal.” We run on a 4-week cycle with four completely different chapters — honestly, ours is the more impressive system.

Same-day rerun versus an actual story with four acts. It’s just not built for showing up identical every single Tuesday. (If consistency advice never quite worked for you, now you know who it was written for.)

Okay, here’s what I actually want to say today, and I want to just say it plainly: I’m finishing my Metabolic Health Coach certification this fall, and I need practice clients to graduate. So I’m asking for your help.

In exchange, you get five weeks of free, one-on-one coaching with me. Real conversations, no script, built around your actual life and whatever week you’re actually in.

I call it a win-win because that’s exactly what it is. I need the practice, you need someone in your corner — and I think women are weirdly bad at letting something be both of those things at once.

We tend to make everything either pure sacrifice or pure selfishness. This is neither. It’s just two people helping each other out, which is how I think women should be doing this whole thing in the first place.

I didn’t get through my career, or the ageism that blindsided me when I retired from my executive role and went back out in the job market , or any of the past few years really, by doing it alone. I don’t think you’re meant to either.

And if this isn’t your season — that’s completely fine. But maybe forward this to a friend who needs it more than you do right now. That’s kind of the whole point. We get further pulling each other up than cheering from the sidelines.

Rooting for you,
Andrea
