Hey loves,

Happy Fall🍂—before we get deep into the season, I wanted to slide in with a quick update. Even though I don’t have a brand-new blog post to share, I do have a few things going on behind the scenes:

✨ Introducing Categories
Going forward, you’ll no longer get every single email from me (I know that can be a lot). Instead, you’ll be able to subscribe to what really speaks to you—whether that’s my lifestyle content, mom tips, or SBA consulting. That way, your inbox feels more curated and custom when you hear from me.

✨ Mental Health Check-In
I’ll be real with you—I’m in survival mode right now. Numb, often wanting to cry, but I can’t. Disengaged from most of what my peers have been hyped about. Yes, I know new albums dropped. No, I haven’t heard them. My tunnel vision has been locked on building my financial folder, paying off fees, and clearing my name the best way I can.

With the government shutdown and money being funny as hell, I hate this for me—but I know I’m not the only one. If you’ve been feeling it too, consider this a gentle reminder: we’re allowed to pause, breathe, and recalibrate.

✨ Still Taking Feedback
If you’ve got insight or resources on obtaining grant money (or just financial gems in general), my inbox is wide open. Every piece of feedback helps me keep pushing forward.

That’s all for now. Thank you for being here, for reading, for rocking with me even when the updates are a little raw. I’m choosing to believe that the seeds I’m planting now—stressful as it feels—will bloom in due time.

Talk soon,
Drea
