Stress (and trying not to spiral)

We’re back and the vibes are… cautiously calm?

This week’s catch-up is giving growth, graft and mild mystery:

✨ Charlotte is still remarkably well - but slightly concerned she may have been zapped by the Men in Black memory eraser pen… where did the last few days go? She is, however, thrilled that the exams are DONE. Freedom looks good on her.

🥂 Larissa hosted Brunch Club like the domestic goddess she is - and yes, she even pickled fennel because we are nothing if not fancy. The house build is still… housing. Completion date? Anyone’s guess.

😉 Fern received an out-of-the-blue message from her ‘Breeze’ date. The question on everyone’s lips: is he after a snuggle?

This Week’s Topic: Stress (and trying not to spiral)

We’re getting into the reality of stress - the management, the overwhelm, and the small things that actually help.

🧘‍♀️ Charlotte is feeling suspiciously zen and is crediting her new supplement… but Fern is quick to point out it might also be the actual work she’s been putting in. Groundbreaking. Either that or she’s been aggressively burning intentions in the fire, literally.

🎶 We discuss humming as a calming technique - scientifically sound, emotionally questionable, especially when Charlotte’s mum gets involved (iykyk).

💔 Fern shares she’s been in a pretty low ebb, opening up about the challenges of supporting her daughter through anxiety. She talks honestly about navigating it together and how mindfulness exercises have been genuinely helpful. Day by day is the current family mantra.

🏡 Larissa is loving the positive affirmation energy around Fern’s house, proof that the small environmental shifts really do matter. Larissa shares her frustration of people belittling anxiety - it’s a complicated world out there, and compassion costs nothing.

At this point, we are approximately one minor inconvenience away from starting our own commune where stress simply isn’t invited.

Always finishing in a high... Good Shit Only ✨
