Happy Friday!

I've been in and out of meetings/events this week since I'll be out of town next week for Spring break. I tend to keep political thoughts to a minimum in my newsletters because I like to keep the focus positive and show how you can maneuver through anything.

I still hold that promise, but no matter what kind of bubble I build, politics HEAVILY influence business, and some things you can't build yourself out of. Sometimes the best thing is to stop completely.

Some of the conversations I had revolved around businesses having to shut down almost immediately due to rising insurance costs, tariff concerns, and AI "taking" their job.

I know others aren't publicly speaking on this and during an Experts Circle meeting I attended on Tuesday hosted by LB, raised a great point on the lack of safe spaces for people to talk freely about their concerns and others to give suggestions on how to move forward or just simply sit in the suckiness of it all.

This was part of the reason why I led the Process Lounge last year so people could speak about different topics freely. I don't have the capacity to do monthly at the current moment, but I'm thinking of doing something quarterly.

In the meantime, I'm planning on putting together a small virtual gathering in May called "What's next" for people to share what's happening in their world and just talk. I don't record these meetups nor do I mention much about them online since many people appreciate the privacy.

This won't be the space to openly pitch, but I've seen some great connections be made just from conversations alone.

Anyway, I'd love your thoughts on this! Would this be something you would like to attend? I'll work on getting things together after my break.

This Week in My World

What I've Listened to: It was a chill lo-fi week for me!

A must-do for sanity: Having a dessert of the week. This week I made homemade cupcakes and icing with some strawberries we picked last weekend. Having a little sweet treat to look forward to helps the day move on!

Something I've Learned/Picked Up: I haven't had time to process my week (that and I'm writing this on a Wednesday lol) but the convos I've had so far made me realize that I don't need to stay so attached to one way of doing things and to always have a backup plan.

What I've been reading: I'm currently reading Never Lie by Frieda and I'm re-reading a bit of Women with Money by Jean Chatzky. I'm revamping the way I make money and this helps with my plan and mindset.

Who I've Met/Chatted with: Chanal Robe of Client Success Experts, Regular team/cleint meetings, Amina Blyden-Gullory- we met during one of Women Entrepreneurship classes, she's an amazing branding strategy expert!, and people I've met networking out and about!

• Comment from Live- Excellent point. In my eyes risk management and crisis management play hand in hand. Retaining continuity of what you respond to helps change crisis to risk. It also helps understand how frequently the risk can arise
