Whatup Reader!

We blinked and July sprinted by, but at least we’ve still got August! (And for those of you in southern California, cheers to the very beginning of local’s summer.)

If you’re new here, I send these recap emails out on the last day of each month as a way to share the things that this awesome community has told me they’ve found helpful, and also to let you in on things that are coming your way in the next few months. I know you’re busy and I realize I put out a lot of content in a bunch of different places, so if you’re ever worried about missing anything, rest assured that the monthly recap will have all the important stuff in it.

​From the ‘Gram:​

Made some noise on the ‘Gram last month and ping ponged between some static images and Reels. As always, links are live. Click on any of the images to be taken to the full post.

​From the online biz podcast, Maestro on the Mic:​

New episodes of Maestro on the Mic drop every Monday. Tune in wherever you listen to your pods. Tap the links below to listen to any of last month’s episodes or click the thumbnails to watch on YouTube and see just how animated I am when I speak ;-)

Thank you to everyone who has left a rating or review, and thank you in advance to anyone who was just guilted into leaving one ;-)

​From the podcast all about AI, Prompting Curiosity:​

New episode drops every Thursday. Tune in wherever you listen to your pods. Tap the links below to listen to any of last month’s episodes.

For those of you who ain’t bout that podcast life, check out the blog, The Curious Companion:

​From the Business:​

  • The Crew 52 launch was a HUGE success and I’m big stoked to kick things off next week with this inaugural cohort. Thank you to
  • Summer is still summering, but for those of you who like to plan ahead, I’ll be running round 4 of Press Publish, my 8-week super small group coaching program that comes with a 100% guarantee that you will launch your podcast, at the end of Q4, beginning of Q3. If you’ve been thinking about launching a podcast and are finally ready to make moves, add your name to the interest list and make sure you don’t miss out when doors open.

From our TV:

Y’all, I love watching tv and I’m zero percent ashamed to admit it. Lex and I binged Hacks, we’re devouring The Bear, Silo is back and is slow AF, we sit down every week to watch House of the Dragon but I don’t really have any idea what’s going on, and we’re big stoked that Ted Lasso is coming back next week. What y’all got on the tube?

From the Community:

As much as I love IG, it can be a bit of a ragebait shitshow. I think we can use that whackness as a reminder to get off of our phones for just a little bit, and get into our communities. If you’re looking for ways to help out in your community, one of the easiest things to do is call your local foodbank and see what they need donated and/or need help with. The only way out is through, and the only way through is together.

Puhlease feel free to hit me back and let me know if you have any podcast episode requests, IG post ideas, or suggestions for new workshops/courses/services. I promise I read every single response.

Alrighty, that’s it for July. Bring on August!

Maestro out.

Read time: 2 min 2 sec Whatup Reader! Despite the subject line, this email has nothing to do with actual babies. Fun fact for those of you who don't know: I was a pelvic floor physical therapist for a good, solid 5 years of my physical therapy career. It's actually what set me down the path of learning about pain science and visceral mobilization, and is how I somehow found myself in an ice bath at an event in LA with like 500 people and an IG video that went viral. But that's a story for...

Read time: 3 min 17 sec Whatup Reader! A few years ago, my best friend Jill shared a quote with me, passed on to her by her ex-husband: "Easy is earned." I loved the quote then, and I still love it now, but as with all things (or at least all things in my brain), I like to pressure test it from time to time by seeing how many different scenarios it holds true in. I think that the quote is 100% spot on when it comes to skill acquisition, and given that my brain naturally views things in terms...

Read time: 1 min 35 sec Whatup Reader! Y’all know I stay on Instagram, feeling no kind of way about the amount of time I spend scrolling through my meticulously curated algorithm. Last week I got served a Reel from a beach volleyball creator (can’t find the Reel, can’t remember her name, apologies to the woman whose Reel inspired this email that she will never read), and she said something along the lines of, “Playing more is making you worse.” A bit of a gut-punch, but she’s right. Hear me...
