Sharing how proud I am that I stuck to my guns and pushed through, even when it got hard. Even when I didn’t want to show up. There were days I questioned myself, days I was tired, and frustrated. I kept showing up anyway. I’ve learned that growth isn’t always loud. Sometimes it’s choosing discipline over excuses, consistency over feelings, and trusting the process when you can’t yet see the results. Every small step matters, and every time I refused to quit, I was proving to myself that I am capable of more than I give myself credit for. I’m not where I want to be yet, but I’m grateful I’m no longer where I used to be. Progress may not always be pretty, but it’s still progress. Proud of myself for staying the course, and excited to see where continued consistency takes me.

Cousins. Today we talked about forgiveness... the real kind. Not the performed kind. And I want to give you space for what might have come up today. You don't have to share details. But if something cracked open — Drop a 🕊️ in the comments if today hit different. And if you wrote a "Dear younger me" letter today? That version of you is proud of you. Even if she doesn't know it yet. One more thing: if this day brought up something heavy....come to the Bedroom Sessions tab. That's the space for the tender stuff. You're not alone in there. 🎵 Today's playlist: "Songs That Helped Us Cry It Out." — Find it in the REWIND Room. — Rissa 🤎

GOOD MORNING COUSINS. Happy Sunday. 🎉 No deep healing today. Just vibing. Most important question of the weekend: Rugrats or Hey Arnold? AND — which character were you? I already know some of y'all were Angelica and y'all are NOT sorry. 😂 Drop your answer. This is the only assignment today. (Also — if you did something your inner child loved this week, this is your place to celebrate it. Day 5 energy.)

Cousins, Day 3 of the REWIND Challenge is here. Emotional Trash Day. Today we name what needs to go. Old beliefs. Old guilt. Old roles. Old seasons we haven't fully grieved. Your Classroom module is ready. Do the VHS Burn List exercise. And if you want to drop ONE thing you're releasing in the comments — the community will witness it. You don't have to carry this alone. 🤎 🎵 Today's songs: 'Keep Ya Head Up' → 'Tyrone' Extended Version→ 'Back to Life'" MAKE SURE YOU READ THE LYRICS!!

Today we got into the roles we play and the masks we wear to feel safe, loved, and accepted. And I want to know: Finish this sentence in the comments (if you’re willing): “I am tired of pretending that I…” You don’t have to go deep. You can be vague. You can use initials. But getting it out of your head and into words …even just once…. changes something. No judgment here. Just tell your truth! Today’s songs for the journey: “I Am Not My Hair” + “Video” — India.Arie Drop your sentence below whenever you’re ready. I’m reading every single one.
