Thank you so much for participating in Mayhem in May - it was fun wasn't it?!?!?! If you’ve enjoyed today and found value here, please consider leaving us a review on ProveWorth! We've had a bunch of new people join the community in the past 24 hours as well, so welcome! But also, don't be fooled - it's not normally like this. Usually the rule is one post per day. We only go crazy once a quarter. And on that note, watch out for our next free-for-all because the Back to School Bonanza is coming in August! If you're feeling a bit worn out and overstimulated, that's okay, because tomorrow, @Lydia Lowery Busler is going to teach us how to reset our nervous systems in 2 minutes flat! Check out the calendar for details and time. It's been a blast. Now off to bed! Oh, and if you've been thinking of joining me over in the Build Lab, don't wait. This is the last chance to capitalize on the free hour of strategic coaching with me...

In the CLUES community, "somehow" everyone is incredibly curious and I love that. It's not just that we are curious about improving engagement and connections in our communities, the members of the CLUES crew (that's how we like to call ourselves) are curious about so many different things that lifelong learning and collaborative growth are not so much things we aim for, they are the norm! What about your community, what do the members (including yourself) have in common?

Many of us here are wearing two hats: business owner AND parent. So if you’re raising a struggling or dyslexic reader… this is for you. A lot of parents think, “ I’m not a reading specialist, so what do I even do?” 👉You start where you are, with what you have, and you get a little guidance for the next step. Here’s a simple “start small” tip (whether your child is behind or you’re trying to help them get ahead): The 15-minute Clue Hunt Read with your child for 15 minutes and just notice where they get stuck. Often, kids get hung up in one of these spots: 1. Blending (they can say sounds, but struggle to pull them together) 2. Vowels (a/e/i/o/u get mixed up) 3. Guessing (they get the first sound… then guess the rest) ✨ You’re not diagnosing. You’re just gathering clues. Comment 1, 2, or 3 — which one is your child right now? If you want, reply with a word they consistently get stuck on (like “was,” “they,” “went”), and I’ll tell you what that might point to.

The money tip most women skip (and it’s costing them peace) Ever notice how your money technically works but still feels tight, stressful, or unpredictable? The problem: Most women try to “fix” money by earning more or cutting expenses without ever calming the nervous system that’s driving their decisions. The tip: Before you touch your numbers, regulate first. Put one hand on your heart. Take 3 slow breaths. Say: “Money is safe to look at.” This single pause shifts you out of panic and into clarity and clarity is what creates better money choices. Why this matters: You don’t need more discipline; you need a system that supports your emotions and your cash flow. Inside The Smell of Money, we practice this weekly, short money resets, simple leak fixes, and real conversations that turn stress into confidence. If money has felt heavy, emotional, or confusing, you don’t need to do this alone anymore. 👉 Join us here: The Smell of Money. Come experience calm cash flow in real time. 🗝️🌬️💖💸

I just read a powerful piece in Psychology Today that changes the game for parents and grandparents. The big takeaway? Counting minutes of screen time is an outdated strategy. The American Academy of Pediatrics says we need to stop fixating on the "timer" and start focusing on the Digital Ecosystem. In a world where 90% of content will soon be AI-generated, our kids don’t need more "bans", they need Media Literacy. They need to know how to spot a deepfake, how to question an algorithm, and how to navigate the web ethically. At Connected Through Play, we believe the best way to prepare children for a complex future is through connection and active engagement, not just passive consumption. If you want to move past the "screen time struggle" and discover how to raise curious, critical thinkers through the power of play and connection, come join us!
