HelloZ
Today’s the day! AZA is happening at 1pm EST and invitations have already gone out, so if you’re interested in joining, please hit me up directly and I’ll add you to the guest list.
Guys, how are YOU doing? I’m always talking about myself, other people, celebZ, brands, affiliate things, et. al but I never stopped to ask how YOU’RE doing.
Sure, we know how people are fake-doing from social media because we all just post the grand things. But I think people connect from shared experience, no matter how shitty. And so when we’re all just posting about all the things we’re doing and places we’ve been, there’s a lack of interpersonal connection. That….well…it sucks! So I always go out of my way to commend and thank those who share their raw/real lives because those are the posts that help others in a variety of ways. Those posts are lead others to think “wait, I’m not alone!” or “OMG I have that same ailment and I want to learn more from them!” Just something to think about.

Hi Zlata! I ended up having to miss the AZA today, bummer, but I went ahead and subscribed in case you make it available later.
My bestie is from CA, gonna send an email over now about the rockies.
Couldn't agree more about the real and the raw. So important in these surface-level times!
