Hello lovelies! Thanks for listening!

How are you doing?

How are y’all doing?

The US Election 🇺🇸 has put me and most of the country (and the world really) through a roller coaster 🎢 of emotions and feeling stressed AF.

Speaking for myself...I’ve went to from a state of shock 😳 to down 😔 to frustrated 😣 to neutral and stoic 🫥 to now feeling “okay” 👌🏽.

And dusting myself off and ready to go ‘onward’ and ‘upward’. ⬆️

Ready to contribute and to do what I can to help as much as I can in any and every way within my community and building a close-knit true friend community also. 👯‍♀️

I had a friend of mine recently that I vented to that said, “it’s okay to feel hopeful, she was too” and that it’s not a “bad thing” or a “waste of time” ever.

I was thinking the past week and in the middle of feeling down I remembered that half the country voted for VP Harris! 🥳

Right now as I check the numbers (as the state of California is still counting ballots due to their very close house races) the difference is around 3 million votes.

Why am I pointing this out?

Because it reminds me that so, so many people *did vote for VP Harris! ☺️

There are some podcasts that have helped me in getting through it and with positive words on what we *can do despite who will become president.

The links are below! :))

I hope that they help you as much as they’re helping me. :)

Let’s feel our feelings, lean on our communities and as soon as we feel ready, let’s get back to it and go ‘onward and upward’!

I hope you enjoy this podcast episode.
