Hi Reader,

Happy Halloween!!!

Ever have a week that’s packed to the brim, but somehow peaceful? That’s the vibe over here—equal parts hustle and hocus pocus. 🎃 Which we have watched multiple times this week!

We’re deep in sprint season, as I like to call it—my goal was to record all the podcasts through the end of the year, plan our Co-Op Open House, and celebrate our Co-Op grads (end of a 9-month chapter). And even with a full calendar, I found tiny pockets of magic, which was the goal; otherwise, it feels like too much work and not enough fun.
​
Here's what it looked like...

• My first solo sound bath—after what felt like 800 kid activities—was the best Sunday reset. It has been on my list to go for an entire year!
• A haircut in the middle of the workday (10/10, highly recommend).
• Welcomed a new client thanks to a ChatGPT recommendation—Thanks, Chad!
• Planned our annual holiday networking mixer (wait until you see who we partnered with 👀).
• And next weekend? A kid-free reset with my husband. Counting down. (The quarterly trip is HERE!!!!) ✈️

All small moves. But wow—big energy shifts.

It reminded me how prepping for a slower December doesn’t require a total overhaul. Just intentional choices, one week at a time.

Study Hall Friday: Let’s Compare Notes

Here’s what I’m learning, loving, and locking in this week—want to jot yours down too?

📚 Learning:​
I used to think backend work didn’t count as real progress. But this week—batching podcasts, mapping events—I’m reminded: small actions today = space tomorrow.

​If your calendar is full of quiet, behind-the-scenes work? That is momentum.

🧪 Testing:​
We’re officially running ads (for the first time in years!) and testing two funnels at once. It’s a bit of a beautiful mess, but honestly? It feels energizing to be in learning mode, not launch mode.
​​
If you’re experimenting right now, too—high five. We don’t need perfect. We just need data.

🍪 Loving:​
The newest season of Great British Bake Off. Cozy, charming, low-stakes brilliance. Jasmine’s “neat as a pin” vibes? Aspirational.

​Let’s normalize a strategy that feels warm and cozy instead of stressful and overwhelming.

🌱 Quiet Win:​
Even with all the moving pieces, I felt present this week. Focused. Calm-ish most of the time. That’s the real flex, isn’t it?
​
​What’s your quiet win this week? Hit reply—I’d genuinely love to hear.

Catch you next Friday,
Holly
