Official Permission to Laugh (Even Now) ✨

Hello friend, Life has felt heavy lately. Losing both of my parents in such a short time has changed me in ways I’m still figuring out… and the noise in the world right now doesn’t exactly help. So I’m writing this email as a reminder — for you and for me. When things feel overwhelming, humor isn’t avoidance. It’s survival. I realized this week that one of my oldest coping strategies — laughing with my girlfriends — is something I haven’t made enough space for lately. Not polite laughter —...

Hello Reader, Lately, I’ve been sitting with this question:What still matters when everything feels fragile? I wrote a short reflection about staying grounded, simplifying, and returning to what truly matters during uncertain seasons. 👉 Read it here. If you’d like my Grounding Guide, just reply to this email with the word “GROUND” and I’ll send it to you. 🌿 Holding you gently, Andrea

Dear Reader, When life feels fragile—personally or collectively—something interesting happens. The noise falls away.The to-do lists lose their urgency.And we’re left face-to-face with a quieter question: What actually matters right now? Not in theory.Not someday.But in this season. Moments like these have a way of clarifying what’s essential. They remind us that meaning doesn’t come from doing more—it comes from tending to what’s already here. For many women, what rises to the surface is...

Hello Reader, January doesn’t arrive loudly for most women. It arrives quietly. With a sense that something needs attention — even if you can’t fully name it yet. You don’t feel broken.You don’t feel dramatic.You just feel… unfinished. Here’s the truth I want to say clearly this year: Staying where you are costs something too. Not in a catastrophic way.In a slow, almost invisible way. Energy leaks.Confidence dulls.Time passes. And most women don’t change because they’re afraid —they don’t...

Green plants and wildflowers blooming gently in a sunlit meadow, symbolizing natural growth and seasonal flourishing.

Hello Reader, As I look ahead to 2026, one word keeps gently—but persistently—rising to the surface: Bloom. Not hustle.Not grind.Not reinventing myself from scratch. Bloom reminds me that growth doesn’t have to be exhausting or forced. It can be intentional. Joyful. Rooted. Instead of pushing for outcomes this year, I’m choosing to create the right conditions—for my work, my creativity, and my life. Conditions like nourishment instead of depletion. Alignment instead of obligation. Play...

Hello Reader, Before the year starts filling up with noise, plans, and expectations, I wanted to check in. A few days ago, I invited you to write a note from your future self. Not as a resolution.Not as a to-do list.Just as a reminder of who you are and what matters now. If you wrote the letter—beautiful.Read it again today. Slowly. And if you didn’t? You didn’t miss your moment.This reflection isn’t tied to a date on the calendar—it’s something you can return to anytime you need clarity,...

Hello Reader, Let’s pause time for a moment. Imagine it’s New Year’s Eve, one year from now. The house is quieter.Your shoulders feel lighter.You’re not rushing—you’re with yourself. You look back on the year and realize something surprising: You didn’t hustle your way here.You didn’t push harder.You didn’t become someone new. You simply stopped ignoring what you already knew. Your energy is protected.Your work fits your life—not the other way around.The people around you truly see you.And...

Hello Reader, Just a short, warm note from my heart to yours today. I hope your day is filled with small joys, gentle moments, and the kind of peace that reminds you what truly matters. May you feel loved, supported, and held — exactly as you are. With love + fizz,Andrea

Hello Reader, I don’t usually write emails like this, but this season has asked a lot of my heart — and based on the responses pouring in from my latest blog, I know I’m not the only one navigating a rough stretch right now. I wrote a piece called “When November Breaks Your Heart: Holding Grief and Gratitude at the Same Time.” It’s honest. It’s tender. And it’s very much where I’ve been these past few weeks. This November brought the loss of a long-time friend and the final chapter of my...
