I am sitting at my desk trying to gather my thoughts for the monthly newsletter, and all I can think about is my never-ending to-do list and how tired I am right now. I’m so exhausted that my eyes are starting to burn. That kind of tired that if I were a two-year-old, I’d have to suck it up and take the spanking that would be the outcome of my falling out in a tantrum in the living room. That tiredness brings on stress-induced ailments, over-eating, and other violations that we know are not in our best interest.

I have a confession: I finally watched the Barbie movie from beginning to end. I started the film multiple times, stopping so often that I lost count. I constantly changed the channel around the scene where Ken has an epiphany about the role of men after leaving Barbie World to visit the real world. There's something so cringe-worthy about watching him absorb a diabolical amount of testosterone that l couldn't get through the rest of the film.

Well, hello there! We are back.

At the team’s encouragement, Herd Strategies decided to take a few weeks off from social media to recharge and refresh, and boy, am I glad we did.
