Whatup Reader!

Summer is coming, ya’ll!

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:​

I’m still not really feeling the ‘Gram so I’m not posting much at all. It be like that sometimes. I will say though, that this past Wednesday I posted my 5000^th post, so, Imma give myself some grace. That in mind, I decided to switch it up this month and share two of my own posts and two posts from other creators that I’m really enjoying. Definitely go check ‘em out. Top two posts are mine, bottom left is from @mackenziebarmen and bottom right is from @annaconnellyiscool. Tap the images to be taken to the full post.

​From the Business:​

• Last week I sent out this email and asked you to help me pay it forward by sharing your favorite charities. A big thank you to those of you who responded and filled out the form. I’m planning on sharing the list with Stephen (and all of you) next week, so if you want to add your recommendations to the list, CLICK HERE to access the form and drop your recs. Much appreciated!
• This past month I launched Maestro Musings. Simply stated, Maestro Musings is a paid blog. It's a place for the thoughts I need to write, whether they teach a lesson or not. Unpolished and unfiltered. No Substack, no algorithms, no clickbait, no funnels. Just my words, a way to support them if the spirit moves you, AND a way to give back.Click here to check it out.​
• I've been spending a TON of time with ChatGPT, and I'm all in. I will absolutely be running a training at some point. When, how much, specific format, I have no idea. But it will happen. If you're interested and want to make sure you get details when I figure them out, click here to be automatically added to the interest list. No obligation to buy anything. Just a guarantee that you won't miss the info.
• There is a 99% chance that I'll be selling Pride swag this year, because, well, ::gestures around broadly::: We've got a new design this year, and once we get everything squared away with the shirt folks we'll launch 'em. So stay tuned!

From My TV:

• Listen, I know we’re late to the party, but Lex and I binged Shrinking(shoutout to Dr. UC Ossai for the rec), and I 12/10 recommend it. If you haven’t seen it yet, and you’re looking for your next deep dive, look no further.
• ​The Last of Us…anybody? Anybody. Who here was among the last of us still watching who actually made it to the season finale?

Alrighty, that’s it for May. Bring on June and stone fruit!

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.

Maestro out.
