First of all, this is an extremely helpful eternal reminder for us all, c/o Glennon.

I started using this Airtable base to track my business revenue this week and am so in love. Also made by the lovely folks at Wandering Aimfully: this podcast episode about their marketing strategies was similarly excellent.

Relevant and helpful: this list of apps that you can use to make your Instagram stories look more beautiful!! Expect to see my faves make it into The Appothecary when I have a chance to test them out.

This week I ordered my first pair of THINX! I’m so excited for them to arrive, they look so beautifully-made and of course will be very helpful. If anyone wants a pair, I have this affiliate link that gives you $20 off!

Lol’d at the “Scary Time” song. So funny and good! Thanks for articulating what we have all been feeling.

Toronto friends: I’m excited to be hosting my first workshop at Nurture‘s new workshop space on November 4th! I’ll be teaching you all my tricks for a calmer, more manageable email inbox (and life). Tickets here!

This week on the podcast I am chatting with my lovely friend Ameema about how much we both love to read & why we feel that reading is so important and healing! I loved this conversation.

I’m in another busy season of work in my business, which means most of my evenings lately have been spent alternately going for walks, tweaking things on the computer and planning for the future. There is so much exciting stuff going on and the best part is: there is so much to look forward to over the next little while. It just keeps getting better and better! This week I did some reflection on just how packed these past four months have been, but all I can say in the end is how grateful I feel and how much I’m learning. It’s pretty rad! I hope you have a wonderful weekend, friends. xo.

This week, I launched The Appothecary, a curated database of all the tools I love & would recommend to small business owners. I already have a few members, which is so exciting, and it warms my heart to see them discovering technologies they find helpful! You can read more about why I created the project here.

This is one of my favourite Maya Angelou quotes and never ceases to be relevant, especially when you add “the first time” to the end of it, as Oprah says.

I’m in the midst of bingeing the back episodes of Rework the podcast, and I have been loving it. I am so thankful for their values-based, insightful approach to business, it helps me feel inspired and less alone in the world.

This article is never not relevant, and I especially needed to read it this week after a tough bout of ~*feelings*~ last weekend.

I liked these diverse approaches to the topic of whether or not we should delete our social media accounts. I feel like I fall somewhere in the first camp, but I could always be better about reducing the noise.

Offline this week, I was super inspired by Roxane Gay’s beautiful book Hunger, and Curtis Sittenfeld’s book of stories, You Think It, I’ll Say It. Both were so excellent.

This week on the podcast I talked about the process of building The Appothecary and how it helped me look deeper at my own brand values & business systems.

This week I had the honour of being the guest expert at my local TuesdaysTogether chapter, a meetup for entrepreneurs. We were addressing one of my favourite topics, systems, and it was so much fun to talk to a group about something I care so much about. It was such an affirming experience and I got so many thoughtful messages afterwards. It really felt like a big milestone for me, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity. This weekend I’m planning to do a lot of reading, go for a fall hike, and launch the Inbox Zero workshop I’m running in early November! I hope you have a wonderful weekend too. xo.
