💌 SOWM Digest 039 | New Schtuff

I posted on LinkedIn earlier this morning that this newsletter would get out today if all things went according to plan. So far, the only thing holding me back (besides a solo and — of course — prolonged bedtime routine for my two little ones) is a punchy opening or poignant thought piece…

Upcoming Events

* = member-led session
🤗 = open to the public

Note: We’ve added another coach to our SOWM roster! Individual coaching conversations will now be noted with the facilitating coach, either Jess, or Kelly!

Member Recs

The good stuff, as touted inside the Slack community!

GOODS — this tablet for analog lovers, these compression packing cubes, this k-beauty jelly sheet mask set, these discounted water tables, this titanium keychain pill holder, this sports bra that accommodates allllll the sizes, this wagon that doubles as a stroller in TSA’s eyes (ie: free to check), and this reed diffuser, in this particular scent.

RESOURCES — this women-led team of finance experts specializing in service-based small business, this guide for creating neuro-inclusive events, this new health app for women, this 2-day conference for fractional leaders, and this free fitting for those days you realize wow, none of my bras fit me anymore.
