Hello Reader! 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻 What a week. It was a bit of a rough one for me, if I’m honest. The good news is that I demonstrated to myself that I’m resilient and I’ve got plans in place to protect myself when things go off track.

Hey everyone!!! 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻 Sunday is my favourite day of the week, and this Sunday is extra special – Super Bowl Sunday!! I love everything about it. The game, the half-time show, the amazing snacks, and the sheer scale of the entire production. I find it so enjoyable and let myself get swept up in the madness of the event. I snack on foods I try to avoid, and inevitably end up binging on them and feeling awful afterwards. Me yelling excitedly at the television is a key part of the experience,…
