I may have been ambitious in June but July is feeling lazy, fun and relaxed. I also have such a wonderful group of clients in my life right now so am just grateful for all the good energy around. Not a bad way to spend the hottest days of summer.

Take a look at what’s been on my mind this month.

Here is a round up of some items I found utterly delightful this month.

1. Gallup Emotions Poll: Some records were meant to be broken…but not this one. Gallup released their 2022 Global Emotions Report this summer. Based on tens of thousands of interviews conducted in 122 countries, negative emotions have hit a new high across the globe. Data shows that the aggregate of stress, sadness, anger, worry, and physical pain people feel every day is higher than ever before in the history of Gallup’s tracking.

2. The Midnight Club SOUNDTRACK. So, I'll admit, I haven't actually watched this series, but I DID read Christopher Pike in the 90's and I DEFINITELY have core high school memories set to this soundtrack.

3. Proud Minnesotan over here.... but Lizzo!

Here are my top 3 favorite things this September!
