When our kids were small my husband used to smoke. It didn’t matter what else was going on, he had to have his daily fix. Somehow, even in tight times, we always found money for cigarettes 😳 For him, that was non-negotiable. Some people have to have a holiday every year. Others change their car, or get their hair done regularly, or have a monthly spa day. We still have a few little comforts we won’t compromise on. 😊 Barry’s tea 😊 Decent toilet paper 😊 Real butter 😊 Good coffee 😊 Proper marmalade Here’s my question: What are your non-negotiables in life, in business, and/or in caring for your 4-legged friends?

I’m on the final season now! I remember watching little bits of it as a kid when my dad had it on or when I was off of school sick and it was the only thing on tv!🙌 But after watching it properly in 2026 I can confidently say that I have fallen in love with the cheesy and ridiculous acting that shaped the show😅 I’m so sad it’s coming to an end but it opens more doors! (This is where you guys come in handy😉) I want a cheesy acting, early 2000s to 2010s tv series to watch! Anything at all! Just something stupid and fun to have on in the background! Let me know what your recommendations are guys!!!!!!!❤️

An Honest Update aka Why I’ve Been Quiet You may (or may not) have noticed I’ve been a bit absent around here for the last few weeks. Truthfully? I’ve been a little overwhelmed. Actually… a lot overwhelmed. There has been a perfect storm of: too many moving parts too many ideas not enough hours in the day, and exhaustion quietly sneaking up on me from behind! I’ve been so busy trying to keep all the plates spinning that I stopped paying attention to the person spinning them. The ‘plates’ became my focus and keeping them all going just kept getting harder! I really gave it my best shot – until my body said STOP! Sound familiar? Here’s the awkward little lesson horses repeatedly try to teach us: You cannot sustainably care for everyone and everything else while quietly abandoning yourself. Eventually your body, brain and energy notices. And life starts gently (or not so gently) nudging us to pause. For someone who preaches the power of pause, I found it really difficult and uncomfortable to settle into the space of ‘non- doing’. It was so challenging to give myself permission to rest, breathe, and decide ‘What actually matters right now?’ And it was even more challenging to let some things go, for a while. For me, it’s been a reminder that sometimes the bravest thing we can do is stop pretending we’re fine when we’re actually running on fumes. And maybe there’s a lesson in that too: Overwhelm is information, not failure. Sometimes it means: - too many priorities - too may projects - too little support (probably because you didn’t ask for help!) - or simply… you’re tired. And tired people are allowed to rest. Anyway, I’m still here. Slightly frazzled. Still figuring things out. Still occasionally resembling an overcaffeinated pony in a plastic bag storm. But back. QUESTION: What has life been trying to teach you lately — even if you didn’t particularly ask for the lesson?

This new feature will benefit ALL tiers! You guys deserve so much more than this and I’ll find a way to offer you more in the future but for now, this is where we’ll start🙏🙌

Just a passing thought… Is everyone on Skool solely purposed on building their own community/making money?👀 Are people actually joining Skool specifically to join other communities? Like do you have any members that didn’t have Skool but found out about your Skool community so created a Skool account just to join your community?😬 Is there a problem where 90% of the people on Skool are just here to make money? Which results in a poor audience for some communities? Perhaps it’s up to us to be advertising our Skool communities OFF of Skool in groups related to our niche so that people who have no idea what Skool is and just specifically want the help you’ve created, can see you!💪 Is it time to treat Skool as your own personal website?🙏
