Hey, it's me.

I just wanted to tell you that you're doing a good job. Like, like for real though, I am so proud of you. And I don't think any of us hear that enough, as silly as it sounds coming from a friend.

This is not an easy season to live through. I was talking to one of my kids the other night about how our biology as humans hasn't evolved in the same way or at the same rate as our technology.

Humans are pretty much the same as we have been for thousands of years, but what our bodies and nervous systems have to deal with drastically changes every decade. That is wild to me. You are doing so much with a body and a brain that were not designed for all the things you have to deal with. Of course it's hard. Of course, you feel like you're losing your mind half the time.

But you show up, do it anyway, and make the world a little better while you're at it. And I'm happy that you exist.

And also it's okay to take a nap.

Okay, that's all. Love you lots.

Hey, it's me. I'm gonna get on my soapbox for a second, and I'm still processing through this. So I'd love your perspective. And I'm sure how I talk about it is gonna come out all wrong. So we can go back and have more conversations, but I would love your perspective because I've been thinking a lot about patriarchy, and I've been thinking about how much we talk about it in relation to gender rather than systems and structures. We approach it as

As if men are benefiting from patriarchy and not also being harmed by it. And don't get me wrong, men and women are harmed very differently by patriarchy. But I don't know that anybody's winning, honestly, except for maybe some people at the top who are using fucked up systems to keep lining their pockets, but even then.

I mean, I don't know, I'm not them, but even that doesn't even seem like winning to me. That just seems like another desperate attempt to fill the void. I'm talking in circles, but I'd love to know what you think because, to me anyway, it seems like until we start talking about the cause and not just the symptoms, nothing is gonna change.

We're going to keep having this imbalance of, I don't know, power and I don't know. I think something needs to be different, and I think we have to start talking about it differently.

Let me know what you think.

Okay. Thanks for coming to my impromptu TED talk.

Love you lots.

Hey, it's me.

I am so excited to tell you that I decided to reopen my coaching practice. When I shut it down a few years ago, I honestly thought I was done forever. The break was definitely necessary. But I think lately I've just realized that I never actually stopped coaching. It's just who I am.

I'm never gonna stop helping people see how amazing they already are. I'm never not going to help people trust themselves. I'm not going to help people shush the shame that's always creeping in. (Thank you, extractive capitalism). I think restarting is just my way of helping to create the world I want to live in. A world where people aren't empty shells of themselves.

A world where they're free to be who they are and design their lives in whatever way fills them up, rather than trying to fit into someone else's crusty, outdated, too-small, soul-sucking mold. So, anyway, if you know anyone who needs that kind of support, of course, send them my way. But I would also love it if you could take a look at my website and give me your feedback. It's SarahBethBerry.com. Super simple, but I'm curious if it makes sense and is clear.

So anyway, that's what's happening with me. What's your win this week? What's lighting you up?

Okay, that's all. Love you lots.
