It’s Bri, your editor. This week’s collection is all about reflection, reflection, presence, and the little moments of growth we notice when we slow down. Think of it as my weekly wind-down—a space where I sit with my thoughts, my week, and what it means to keep becoming.
I’ve put together five different articles for you to dive into, plus a playlist that’s been the soundtrack to my week—some of my favorite songs, the ones I listen to while writing, reflecting, or just getting through the day. Play it while you read, while you clean, or just while you sit with yourself.
This week’s theme is centered around being awake, aware, and becoming—noticing where you are, appreciating how far you’ve come, and leaning into the growth that still lies ahead. These pieces explore presence, connection, vulnerability, self-discovery, and the small and big ways we choose ourselves.
Thank you for joining the conversation. I’m happy to have you here, and I hope this collection gives you a little space to reflect, feel, and just…be.
