Hey sis!
You know how sometimes you come across something that, in the words of my cousin, "you can't want"?
That's where I am am with this particular trend sweeping the internet right now: The Great Lock In or The Winter Arc.
If you haven't seen it yet, it's a trend that calls for intense discipline, bordering on deprivation from September through December in order to achieve a set of goals that were set at the beginning of the year.
Here's the thing: I don't love the idea.
While I am all about setting and achieving goals, there is something a little toxic about the idea that you have to reject joy in order to attain your goals.
You can read the whole letter hot off the presses:
The Great Lock In Can Miss Me, Sis.
As usual, this week's letter also features content for supporting subscribers and founding members on Substack. You wanted more content that felt like the journals and workbooks I used to produce monthly with affirmations, prompts, quotes and puzzles. I'm honoring that request in this section in a way that feels fresh and accessible.
I would love for you to read, comment, subscribe, and share with other women who are ready to join our circle for support, strategy, or even just belonging.
Take Care Sis,
Chanda Branch
