BAM, MBA & 10K Reasons I’m Grateful 💛
May Recap, Magic, and a Thank You to 10,000 of You 🎉
As I sit here reflecting on May—what I lovingly call BAM month (Birthday, Anniversary, Mother’s Day)—I’m in awe of time, connection, and YOU. This past month has been a whirlwind of milestones, work, touring, music, motherhood, and memories, and somehow, we’re already halfway through the year.
I shared a full recap on the ‘gram — and yes, this one took me three hours to put together 😅. If you’re planning to do monthly recaps, I definitely recommend keeping track as you go… but honestly, this month was so full, I just didn’t have the time.
And today, I’m also celebrating another milestone — 10,000 of you subscribed to this community.
10,000 people who showed up for the stories, the messiness, the meaning, and the magic. So first: THANK YOU.
Throwback to a great interview from around 2010 in Glamour featuring yours truly.
See those little ones with me? That’s my twin niece and nephew — they just graduated college and are moving back to NYC to start their careers.
Did I mention time flies way too fast? 💫
You came here for a reason — and I’d love to know why.
