Remember when I said there was absolutely no freaking way I could paint a portrait of Chip? Yeah... about that. If you haven't heard ... 𝗜 𝗣𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗗 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗗𝗢𝗚. 𝗜𝗡 𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗗𝗔𝗬. 🐶🎨 Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I could take a photograph of Chip, sit down with a blank canvas, and come home at the end of the day with THIS. But @Michelle Cyr somehow made it happen! My daughter and I spent the day painting with her, laughing, learning, eating snacks, and being completely spoiled with an amazing Mediterranean bowl lunch. It wasn't just a painting class. It was an entire mother-daughter experience, and we had SO much fun! And Michelle? Simply freaking amazing! She's patient, encouraging, 𝙛𝙪𝙣𝙣𝙮 𝙖𝙨 𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙡, and somehow knows exactly how to help you fix the thing you're staring at thinking, "Welp. I just ruined it." 😂 Meanwhile, my daughter painted her favorite roo, Howdini, and she's now impatiently waiting for him to fully dry so she can get him up in her room where he belongs. 🐓❤️ I genuinely cannot get over what we were able to create in ONE DAY. So I'm going to say this very loudly for anyone who has been watching Michelle and thinking, "Yeah, but I could never paint something like that..." ... 𝘂𝗺𝗺 𝗬𝗘𝗦. 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗔𝗕𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗨𝗧𝗘𝗟𝗬 𝗖𝗔𝗡! If you can swing an IRL painting day with Michelle, DO IT. She's still in Wisconsin for a little longer this summer, and then she'll be heading back south to Texas. And if you can't make an IRL happen? Get your butt on her live calls inside 𝗣𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗗𝗿𝗮𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀. You will walk in thinking, "There is no freaking way I'm going to be able to paint this," and walk out several hours later carrying a portrait of your dog. Or a whatever you decide to paint! Who knew?! 😂 10/10 experience. Would absolutely let Michelle convince me I can paint again. ❤️🎨

Today’s Back to SKOOL Office Hour is𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝘆: 𝗣𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗦𝗘𝗢 with @Tim Adam from Pinterest Skool! And yes, Tim knows Pinterest. There’s a reason I call him the Pinterest King. 👑📌 But one of my favorite things about Tim is that I’ve learned just as much from watching how he builds a community as I have from what he teaches about Pinterest. On December 25, 2025, I posted a celebration post about Pinterest Skool reaching 555 members! Today? 5.4K members. 🤯 That kind of growth in less than eight months isn’t just about making pretty pins. Tim understands search, SEO, traffic, community building, consistency, and how to create something people actually want to be part of. I’ve personally learned SO much from him, not only about getting found on Pinterest, but about Skool and building a community people want to keep coming back to. But remember, today isn’t a Pinterest training. It’s Office Hours. Come hang out with us and meet the man behind Pinterest Skool. Bring your questions about Pinterest, SEO, Skool, community growth, or whatever else you’ve been curious about. Hey, maybe you can even get him talking about his newer community, Deal Hub, or get him to give us a virtual tour of his 𝗡𝗶𝗻𝗷𝗮 𝗛𝘂𝗯 𝗚𝘆𝗺 ... yes, he owns one IRL! So, who's ready for a little Independent Study with the 𝗣𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗡𝗶𝗻𝗷𝗮 𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗴 before we head into the weekend!? 👑📌 We will be live in the classroom at 11am CST / 12pm EST! Come Join Us! Missed one? Catch up here!

Back to SKOOL Week is headed out of the classroom and into the gym because today we’re opening Office Hours with @Kat Oakley of PhatKat Fitness + LeanKat Lifestyle! And before anyone starts looking for a doctor’s note... No, you do NOT have to run the mile. 😂 Kat’s work is about something much bigger than squeezing yourself into another diet, workout plan, or 30-day challenge... it’s about being done starting over! Kat helps women lose fat, build strength, gain energy, and create a healthier lifestyle without feeling like they have to spend the rest of their lives bouncing between restriction, guilt, and “I’ll start again Monday.” And she knows this stuff from the inside out. Her approach brings fitness and nutrition together, including conversations around strength training, sustainable fat loss, protein, low-carb and carnivore-style eating, and figuring out what actually works for your body and your life. Through 𝗣𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗞𝗮𝘁 𝗙𝗶𝘁𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 and 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗞𝗮𝘁 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘆𝗹𝗲, she’s created spaces where women can stop chasing the next quick fix and start building something they can actually LIVE with. Which makes her pretty much perfect for our... 🏀 𝗣.𝗘. + 𝗛𝗘𝗔𝗟𝗧𝗛 𝗖𝗟𝗔𝗦𝗦. But remember, this is Office Hour, not a workout class or training. But in true Skool spirit, throw on your gym clothes anyway. 😉 Grab your water bottle, hop on the call, meet Kat, ask your questions, hear her story, and get a peek at the communities she’s built around fitness, food, strength, and feeling better in your body. No burpees. No laps. No changing in a terrifying high-school locker room. Just come hang out with Coach Kat. 😂💚 P.E. + Health Class is in session later TONIGHT! 🏋️‍♀️🥑

We’re kicking off BACK TO SKOOL WEEK inside The Directory! But before you start looking for your notebook, relax! There is NO homework. There is NO pop quiz. And these are NOT “come sit quietly while someone teaches at you” sessions. 😂 All week long, we’re opening up Office Hours with some pretty freaking amazing community leaders. Think of it as that little window before class starts when you get to hang out with the teacher, ask the random questions, talk about what you’re working on, meet some new people, and actually get to know the human behind the community. Come for one. Come for all five. Pop in during the hour. Bring your coffee. Ask questions. Hang out. 🏫𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞 𝗧𝗢 𝗦𝗞𝗢𝗢𝗟 𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗨𝗣 (times available in the calendar): 📚 𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗗𝗔𝗬: BUSINESS CLASS - BYOB with @Tiffany Noel Taylor Big goals. Bold moves. Badass female energy. Playing small?
