I am bummed they can’t remember the first five years! Like, maybe it’s fine they don’t remember when I rammed their head into a door jam accidentally. But all the hard work! But you’re right, the head start is not wasted. ❤️

Also, chill girl is hilarious. You’re so funny friend.

Oh, how I wish there were things I could remember about my own first 5 years! But having been a child, and now a parent, I think there are certain graces in the lack of memory of those years.

Ugh, yes, I always wanted (desperately) to be laid back, up for anything, effortlessly cool, but, alas, that’s not me. I am not chill either...but I am still somehow okay, most of the time.

I love reading your words.❤️

Hahahah yay! I did this exactly once in Finland. I went for a sauna and then into a hole in the ice in a bikini. There is a photo of me in a bikini, in front of a sign that says beach, with dark skies and snow behind me 😅

Hahahah thank you so much Ashlee!! I remember seeing the pre-release video for Create Anyway with you, Laura and Gretchen talking about constantly having so many ideas, creating things and making businesses... And it was such a relief to see other women like me. I felt so seen!
