Hi Reader,

Welcome to June. Today is my daughter's TENTH birthday. Double digits.

Last week, my son graduated 6th grade and heads to middle school in the fall.

My daughter is also changing schools - our beloved elementary three blocks from our house, the one I've walked my kids to every morning for seven years, is closing. Last week was the last time either of them would step foot in their home away from home.

I am unwell.

Oh, and "Maycember" was MAYhem in general.

If you've been running on fumes too, I see you.

This Week’s Quick PR Tip: Lower The Bar Where You Can Through August

Not on everything, but where you can.

That might look like easing off the byline article draft you keep pushing, the pitch that can wait, or the newsletter cadence you've been white-knuckling. Give yourself - and your team - room to ease off for a few months.

The work will still be there in September and you can get back to it at full speed then. This is about making sure you don't burn out in the meantime.

To enjoying the summer season,
Rhiannon

P.S. This has been my anthem the last month (iykyk).

The kind of sad of leaving people you loved spending time with. I was completely invested in the characters and loved the premise of the show: life is better when you have people in your corner.
