Y’all… the irony isn’t lost on me that I’m literally creating a mental health community while also having days like Sunday, when my dad calls mid-nap to move furniture and I immediately start stress-cleaning because I know he’ll comment on my granite countertops 😅 One day I’m having a breakthrough about rest. The next I’m hiding in my apartment pretending to “do something” while he critiques how dirty my place is. And honestly? This is the healing journey. Not the Instagram version where everything’s neatly resolved, but the one where: ✨ You still can’t say no when a coworker asks you to cover a shift ✨ You post about rest while staying up too late working ✨ Your inner child is screaming at 3pm on a Tuesday ✨ You’re spiraling but also answering emails Here’s the wild part: my baby Skool community (2 weeks old!) already has 14 members + 79% engagement. Strangers are more active than my email list. Why? Because people smell real. Members are literally thanking me for creating a space that feels genuine, not because I have it all figured out, but because I’m willing to share the messy middle. I’m not building this business after healing. I’m building it inside the healing. And maybe that’s the most authentic thing I’ve ever done. Anyone else creating something meaningful while actively figuring it out?

I just want to thank you! I did not show up for you guys with the rainbow hair on the call, and I am sorry for that.. You all showed up for me the day before. I want to thank a few specific people and limit myself to a few of you because I can't possibly get everyone who supported me correctly. This whole group is incredible. The special thank you and shoutout goes to @Sam Rathling, @Barbara Guimaraes, @Suza Roswandowicz, @Rebecca Pay, @Zak King, @Matthew Willis, @Victoria Rosenbalm. You all were with me on the rainbow run. The rainbow run was such a special way to end the day of insane activity. I'll apologise for the 2.444 activities I probably mostly did in here that day...🤷🏼‍♀️ SORRY Goosify!! I'll relax soon🤔 Thank you, @Kai Lorenz, for bringing people together and for creating such a massive amount of support for me! You are all the reason I got my flame 🔥 and became a rainbow 🌈, on the same day that I have been here for a month. I spent the evening listening to this song on repeat. It felt super fitting🤷🏼‍♀️ THANK YOU! I have never in my life felt so much love and care as I did with you all that evening.

Okay besties, it's Monday afternoon and I'm realizing I forgot to eat breakfast, put on deodorant, AND respond to like 6 texts from this weekend 🤡 So naturally, this feels like the perfect time for a vibe check! Rate yourself on the Barbara Scale of Existence™: 1-3: Currently a houseplant. Breathing is an accomplishment. Gold stars for being alive 🌱 4-5: Functional human achieved! You remembered pants today. You're doing great sweetie ✨ 6-7: Actually thriving?? Answered emails AND showered? Who are you? 🦋 8-10: Suspiciously productive. Are you okay? Do you need water? Blink twice if you're an alien 👽 I'm currently hovering around a solid 4.5 because I: - Did eventually eat (cheesy garlic bread counts as breakfast, right?) - Only cried once (it did give me a headache) - Successfully convinced my cat that 2pm is not dinner time (for today, idk about tomorrow) But also I'm wearing yesterday's shirt and just discovered I've been walking around with toothpaste on it for who knows how long 🙃 Drop your number below! No explanations needed (but also feel free to overshare, this is a safe space for chaos) 💕 Sending you gentle Monday energy and the reminder that "barely functioning" still counts as functioning 🍓 What's your Monday afternoon reality check looking like?

I heard you saying @Samanda Rasmussen you don't sleep until you become a rainbow 🌈. I can't agree with that. No, no, no. But your more than 1700 activities today might have contributed a lot to move us (goosify) further forward. I literally saw you even falling asleep with your computer on your lap and your mobile in your hand ✋️ at one point. Now, that you are in Denmark 🇩🇰 I barely have talked to you without hearing a clicking sound. @Rositsa Aleksandrova I guess @Goose Dunlavey and the whole team can be happy about such a little 💎. It's not even about the BLITZ. It's about a great person, a lovely soul and kind girl, who found purpose and a little family here. Thank you all. But most of all: thank you Sam. Dean of Dumbassery 😜 Please 🙏 sleep and let us make you a rainbow 🌈. IF SAM BECOMES A RAINBOW I WILL POST THE PICTURE OF HER SLEEPING WITH HER COMPUTER AND PHONE.

You killed it you silly gooses. It's incredible. People jumped in and helped @Samanda Rasmussen level the shit up here. Now the deal is Sam can sleep 😜. And you crazy girl made more than 2000 activities today. And I show those proof pictures of her sleeping with her devices while having more online hours than day. And after the full narcosis and surgery. It's insane guys.. we are a family. All are just so supportive. GOOSIFYED BABY!!! Love you all. And Sam a tiny bit more 😜. @Rositsa Aleksandrova @Brian Mangum @Diana Frank @Mindy Molein @Goose Dunlavey @Glenn Summers @Matthew Willis @Sam Rathling @Victoria Rosenbalm @Zak King @Becky Teresa @Bill Widmer @Tommy Gan @Barbara Guimaraes @Suza Roswandowicz @Dhania Mirza @Brennan Thompson @Kirsten Mathews @Jen Ritchie
