I wrote about living a parallel existence on Planet Care, where adaptability is my superpower.

This is a post I wrote about “knowing without remembering.”

I thought I’d lost something I learned from my Dad—but it was still inside of me, still with me.

Just a lovely evocation. I especially like the lines from the poem at the end--I'll carry those with me today.

This was beautiful and resonated with me. It's like finding a piece of beach glass among the pebbles when a buried memory of my mom pops up. Treasures waiting to be found.

Hi all! Hope you had a great week! Published/publishing two this week. My regular Wednesday essay (all about being a people pleaser) https://nantepper.com/p/no-please-allow-me and another one that will go out tomorrow, a podcast episode of the story I wrote about the first time I went to a casino and gambled with my dad. It's a funny one! Called Cha-Ching! Here's the secret link for a sneak peek: https://nantepper.com/p/3c33fe41-19c3-4520-9618-795ff4ff43d7

I LOVE having a podcast. Recording the essays is so much fun, if you're not doing it, I highly recommend trying.

AND here's the BIG news: Yesterday I got a notification that I ranked #73 in Bestsellers Rising in Literature. WHAT??? I have no idea how that happened. And it was thrilling. Thanks for the support here. xo

Oops. One more thing. I just finished teaching my first Substack workshop for beginners. A 5 session class. It was a blast! I'm doing that through my other stack, Style Your Stack. Will be offering it again in July, if you know anyone who needs help setting up a new stack, and untangling the tech, and the less than intuitive backend. And I go into design and branding as well. Here's more on that: https://styleyourstack.com/p/substack-101-so-you-want-to-write

I’m sending out daily journal prompts with the theme of BLOOM. A midlife reminder that growth doesn’t happen over night and that small increments are still worth celebrating.

Strategic journaling prompts to activate the prefrontal cortex!

Today’s prompt was all about what I’m buying - INTO😉

This week, I let off some steam in my article, "I am so fucking tired of explaining your own internalized misogyny." It's been that kind of week. TGIF!

You are so kind, Amy. I don't view myself that way. Maybe I should? One day you you can explain it to me! Love you, sweetie. xo

I wrote about decision fatigue ...

You know that moment, you’re staring into the fridge at 5:12 PM, hungry and overwhelmed, and somehow deciding what’s for dinner feels like climbing Everest in Crocs.

We hit the Bourbon Trail, so I took a break from more emotionally tasking writing to write about that: https://sarahstyf.substack.com/p/learning-history-on-the-bourbon-trail
