It's F***ing Hot Outside


It's Fucking Hot Outside.

I've had a few clients mention recently that things feel very overwhelming and they don’t know why: that they're doing all the things that normally keep them feeling hopeful and pleasant, and yet for some reason, they just feel unusually overwhelmed and anxious.

And then they say "It's really fucking hot outside," and I say, "YES," because it's hot where I am too, and then we spend 10 minutes bitching about how sweaty we are AND THIS IS ALL SO VALID.

A reminder: if things feel more unpleasant or overwhelming than usual, that makes total sense!!!
​
For most of us, it is WAY hotter outside, or maybe you're in New Zealand and you can't even look out your window because it snowed so much (note: I don't know if that's a fact I just googled "places where it is currently snowing a shit ton" to make my point and New Zealand came up).
​
Or MAYBE your neighbor is dating someone new, which is totally cool, and they have been having really loud sex at 6am for the past 3 days and you’re not a morning person.
​
MAAAYBEEEE all you want to do is have some FREAKIN STRAWBERRIES and now they’re $3 more expensive than they were LAST WEEK.
​
The point is: our environment has a HUGE impact on us, and it can make things feel even worse when it is out of our immediate control.

So be kind to yourself, get a glass of water, take a breath, and maaaybe consider that you’re probably responding appropriately to what is happening around you right now.

And please, keep being silly.

P.S. Can I curse in a subject line?

I'm f***ing exhausted from making this FREE OFFERING! Did I say I was going to send this tomorrow? Yes.Am I being a bit impulsive? Yes.Will I probably find a teeny flaw or two and immediately say to myself, "RACHEL THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD HAVE WAITED"? Yes. BUT I have a One Piece Card Game tournament tomorrow and I gotta save my energy (and I'm just impatient and excited), so HERE IT IS A DAY EARLY! *confetti flies everywhere* Even if you're f***ing exhausted and not an actor, or an actor who...

You have permission to eat a lobster. Post by @littlepondfaerie Not really much else to say—@littlepondfaerie hit the nail on the head. What I will say before I go off to a wedding (currently typing in the lounge of a very cute country club in Rhode Island—the Ocean State if you didn't know!) is that I have been working on a FREE offering for my actor community! Woo!!Or really, for anyone who is curious. I personally think it can be helpful to anyone. :)So, I've decided to give you all a...

Sock Puppets, Time, and Not Doing Enough Art by Sarah Anderson Guess where I was last week instead of writing my next newsletter to you all? In my bed. Curled up like a little gremlin. I crashed. Hard. My brain no longer formed thoughts. I was a blob. A gremlin, hermit, blob of a creature. And once again I am asking myself: why did I crash so hard? Why could I do nothing but binge shows about a girl who loves poison in feudal china, witches with a furry friend that looks like a cozy white...
