Hello Dressing Room Insiders,

I wanted to offer y’all a glimpse into the thoughts behind of my latest post. A peek into the metaphorical wardrobe as a sort through my thoughts like clothes, figuring out what fits the day, the moment, and the season. Something more vulnerable and honest about the journey to the words I shared with the public last week. By doing this, I hope to open up an opportunity for conversation with you all, and if you enjoy these insights, I may keep them coming, just for you!

Before I get started, you can interact with my posts either by responding to this email or, if you download the Substack app, you can comment on these posts, and we can even have a private community chat! There, we can discuss things as a group, rather than only responding to me, and I can point you to articles by other people that are doing incredible work. Please do let me know if you end up downloading the app, and I will begin a group for us to keep the conversation going!
