Lately, it’s hard not to feel a bit worn down.

From the constant input
the uncertainty,
the sense that nothing makes sense
and that…
idk the whole world is maybe on 🔥 .

You don’t have to wait until ‘worn down’ turns into a full blown bawling your eyes out despair-filled-crisis before you decide you ‘deserve’ support.

You deserve it now. Full stop.

And it shouldn’t cost half a rent payment either.

That’s why we offer 1:1 peer support you can schedule online, on your time.

Message us to get started. ♥️

If this is what you imagine when you think about attending social events:

- Coordinating schedules (small miracle if it works)
- Cooking something impressive or making reservations
- Cleaning your house if people are coming over
- Feeling like you have to be “on.”

You should know that Girl Dinner Club is the opposite of that.

Sign up.
Stop at the store on your way over.
Grab literally anything you’d normally eat standing in your kitchen (or hiding in the pantry)
Show up.

Then we will dump it all on a table, call it dinner, and hang out while we make some zero-effort crafts, laugh, and talk about whatever strikes our fancy.

It’s low effort on purpose.

We'll take care of setting up, craft prep, making sure everyone has a good time and will handle the cleanup when it's all over.

Check the comments for how to sign up - time is running out!

If 8 Mile taught me anything, its own your s**t so it can’t be used in a rap battle later (hasn’t come up yet but just in case).

Most of the women we know (it's us, we're the women) are running on fumes by the time they collapse on the couch after a busy day of making a million decisions, remembering all (most of) the things, and trying to be good moms, sisters, friends, partners, employees, and community members all at once.

The thought of planning and scheduling a girls' night? Are you kidding?
Or worse, trying to make new friends? Good lord.

That’s exactly why we created the monthly Girl Dinner club.

Once a month, you sign up, show up with your fave random girl dinner snack, and kick back for some quality bonding time with your new compatriates in the land of TiredAF.

Together we will:
- Eat a questionable mix of snacks on unimpressive paper plates
- Do some s**tty kids' crafts so we have stuff to do with our hands between snacks
- Laugh, bitch about perimenopause (or whatever), talk about nothing important, etc.
- Forget that we have responsibilities for roughly 90 minutes

And when it's all over, we'll take care of the cleanup while you get back to normal life and count down the days until next month's Girl Dinner.

You deserve a night of laughter and low expectations!

If your social media feed has been bothering you lately, it might be worth remembering that it’s shaped by what you interact with.

The platforms pay attention to what makes you pause, like, comment on, and share.

Over time they show you more of that.

So if your feed is full of things that irritate you, stress you out, or pull you into arguments, it’s because rage bait works.

And if you’re not seeing things from pages or friends you actually care about it’s because you weren’t interacting with their stuff in the same way.

But you can change it by intentionally engaging with different kinds of content.

Pause on posts that make you think.
Like photos that make you smile.
Comment on things that feel thoughtful or encouraging or even just say LOVE THIS.
Follow pages that share ideas, creativity, community, or humor.

The more you interact with that kind of content, the more the algorithm begins showing you similar things.

And it can happen surprisingly fast. If you spent even ten minutes intentionally engaging with positive content (or seeking out posts from friends) you’d likely start noticing a shift in your feed the same day.

Your feed becomes a reflection of what you feed it.

Curate it the same way you would any space you spend time in.

And if you know a page that consistently shares thoughtful, funny, or uplifting content, drop it in the comments so others can follow along too. ⬇️♥️

Bored at home in this blizzard? ❄️

Do me a favor: look up your upcoming county board elections.

County government flies under the radar for most people, but the county board actually oversees many of the things that impact us every single day, like:

- local budgets
- property taxes
- human services
- public health
- the jail
- infrastructure

They decide how MILLIONS of our public dollars get used.

And yet... a lot of county board seats run uncontested, and voter turnout is often really low.

Take a look at who’s on your ballot this April and spend a few minutes learning about them. Even if they’re running unopposed, they’re still elected officials - which means they work for YOU.

It’s worth knowing who represents you and what they stand for.

We learned this afternoon that we did not get selected for the grant we hoped would help fund this project.

That happens sometimes but it does leave a gap.

Our goal was to create an alcohol-free game for kids and offer sober spaces at a few night games so families, young people, and folks in recovery have somewhere they can enjoy the experience without alcohol being the center of it.

To make that possible, we need to raise about $6,000.

If you’ve ever wished there were more community spaces like that, this is one small way to help make it real. Donations, sponsorships, or even sharing this post all help.

We’re still hopeful we can pull it together but we need your help! ♥️
