Why You Need A ‘No Grocery Challenge’ + How To Do Your Own
“You’ve got to be kidding me.”
“HOW DID YOU MAKE THIS??!!”
“You’re going to tell us how you did this, right?”
The DMs pinged into my inbox and I squinted at my screen in confusion. What was all the fuss about?
Over the last week, I’d been cobbling together meals from my pantry and fridge, putting off grocery shopping because we were leaving for vacation.

After about 20 DMs politely demanding insight on the topic, I started writing.
And then I wrote some more. And then I wrote a lot more.
Welcome to Yes & Yes!

Why You Need To Try New Things + How To Create A ‘New Things’ Practice
I was readjusting my pasties when my phone buzzed. It was my first ever burlesque show and I was hovering backstage, pulling on my gloves, gossiping with my classmates, and devotedly hoping that my husband was the only person I knew in the audience. I looked down at that tiny glowing screen, expecting to see a note of encouragement from Kenny when I saw an unidentified number and the words "I...

True Story: I got laid off 3 times in 5 years
Have you ever been laid off? I have. My bosses broke it to me in a cafe so I couldn't "make a scene" and then locked me out of my computer.

7 Strategies To Get Booked Out In Your First Year Of Business
