I got back from Mexico a week ago and I'm still processing it. 14 of us packed into a beach house in Cancun for 4 days 😄🏖️ Coaches, team members, spouses... the whole squad was there. People who had mostly only seen each other through a Zoom screen finally in the same room, eating every meal together, laughing too loud, and staying up way too late talking about life and work and everything in between.

Hi friend! Coach Will here 👋 Welcome back to another Tuesday Newsletter. As this year wraps up, I wanted to get a little vulnerable with you before we head into the New Year ❤️ I’ve been more stressed than usual lately.
