Sending you good vibes for the final 6 weeks of 2024 🎉


Hey Reader...

What's one small change you can make in your space today that will make a big difference?

Taylor here! 👋 I left Josh a voicemail about a change I made to my space.

Josh responded from the mountains of Virginia...and shared some gratitude for having the ability to unexpectedly take a few days off this week to be with a friend and their family.

Totally eavesdrop and listen to our latest voicemails to each other.👇 Feel free to leave a comment or drop an emoji back.

New episode with Kt McBratney 🎙️

Finding Your Groove is a storytelling podcast, all about peeling back the curtain on others living life their way to help it feel even more possible for us to do the same.

In this episode, Kt McBratney, who is on a mission to disrupt the status bro, dives into the myth of "doing it right," and how embracing imperfection has shaped their work and life. Kt shares candidly about unlearning the idea that messy = bad. We talk about art, layoffs, and a lovely river metaphor.

🍭 A sweet episode tease: Tune in for a sweet story about how doing things differently started with a paper clip in Kt’s hair.

Smiles and aha moments guaranteed: Listen now or watch it here 🎧

Celebration corner 🎉

We’re big believers that seeing others live life their way makes it more possible for all of us to do things our way. Sending high-fives to these humans!

Are you celebrating something? We’d love the chance to celebrate you in a future newsletter! Send us a short email with the deets. Seriously.

Looking ahead 👀

This Wednesday at 12pm ET our next podcast episode will drop… it’s aaaall about our very own Josh Greene and his journey! We dive into what it was like running music festivals, being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, and his shift to moving to the mountains.

🙏 Thanks for reading! As always, we're only an email away. Reply with your thoughts!

Catch you in December (we’re taking a holiday break), 💃🕺

Taylor and Josh

Hey Reader... Taylor here! 👋 Here's a question for you to kick off the week... How much time do you spend each week on urgent work vs. projects that will help you get where you want to go in the long term? It’s difficult to prioritize non-urgent work (as Josh points out in this week's voicemail below). I’ve had a lot of conversations with business owners and fellow creatives recently about what success means to them. I keep hearing these 3 things... Success is feeling: Free, free to spend...

Hey Reader... What's something on your to-dos this week that you're absolutely dreading?Taylor here 👋 I’ve been thinking a lot about how to make the tasks I dread more fun. 👀 So, I left Josh a public voicemail about it and he responded from the forest (yes, you’ll literally hear the leaves crunching below him) with his new way of marking energy drains and gains on his to-dos/calendar. If you’re thinking about how to end your work day without feeling like the gas tank is running low, totally...

Taylor here! Writing this while sipping on maple iced coffee while watching New York City pigeons bop around outside my window… I’ve written this newsletter twice a month for 3.5 years, totaling 86 separate editions. Today we're entering a new era. 🎉 Before this newsletter was sent just to members of the Groove community, but I know there are many people, who would benefit from the stories, resources, and encouragement being shared among us. So, I'm opening the doors a bit wider; Groovers...
