"Breathe, darling. This is just a chapter. It's not your whole story." ~S.C. Lourie
This week has been a bit of a rollercoaster!! But I have to say it's ending on a good note.
Rollercoaster because #cobblerlife is hard for financial reasons and asking for help seems harder. But we need to. I needed to, this week and it was hard to be that vulnerable, but you know what? My people showed up. They were there. And they wanted to help - however they could. So if you are struggling, let your tribe know. It is sooo hard, I get it. But your people want to help you. They just need to know how. And if you need help asking for help, let me know. I'm here for ya. 😘
On Monday I'm hosting a 10-Day affiliate marketing challenge. It'll help you get started with adding that as an income stream to your side hustle with me by your side (or in your pocket during the challenge). It's $47 for 10 days of 1:1 coaching, support, and guidance to start promoting things you love and get paid for it. I have 8 spots left. More details here. If you've ever wanted to start affiliate marketing AND get help along the way, this is definitely for you.
In other awesome news, I won an award this week. 🏆 Honestly, it was the best thing that could have happened. Because it's not like I do what I do for recognition, but it feels really damn good to be recognized and appreciated for the work that I do. And to be reminded of the incredible support system I have. ❤️
So I am carrying all of that positive, abundant energy into the next week because I know that things are on the upswing and they'll only get better from here.
I got this. You got this. We got this. 👊🏾💪🏾
On to the picks!
P.S. Also I'm starting a Facebook group for us! So if you want some side hustle mentorship and more tips, tricks and a community of fellow side hustlers, join us here.

What I'm Loving 😍
StitchFix - I received lots of compliments on the dress I wore to accept the award. I love this service and they often get me out of my style comfort zone.
BeMoved Dance - I love the mission of "embracing dance as a lifelong path to health, joy and fulfillment" and with 18 genres I still haven't had the same class twice. This week was Pop on Broadway and sooo much fun.

7 Mini Workouts — When the Last Thing You Want to Do Is Work Out — greatist.com
Haha as someone who is not a fan of working out, this list was pretty perfect. Especially the 20 squats when you go to the bathroom one. Maybe I can pair that with my dancing? 🤔
