Snacks, feelings, interruptions, and lots of love: The uncurated Mother's Day

May 05, 2026

Mother’s Day is coming up.

For some, it’s really sweet.
For some, it’s a little tender.
For a lot of you, it’s both.

You might be in the thick of little-kid chaos.
You might be parenting big kids who barely acknowledge the calendar.
You might be missing your own mom, navigating something complicated, or carrying a quiet hope for how you wish things looked.

All of that belongs.

And in the middle of all of it… there is so much good here.

Not the polished version.
The real version.

The quick hugs.
The “can you come here for a second?”
The way they still look for you, even when they act like they don’t.

And you.

Showing up.
Adjusting.
Trying again after a moment you wish went differently.

That’s the work that matters.

Your brain will try to tell a smaller story. One moment, one tone, one miss.

Meanwhile, a whole day of love just quietly happened.

If this weekend brings something light or fun or a small moment that makes you smile, we hope you let it land.

And if it feels a bit heavy or complicated, we hope you give yourself space for that too.

We’re celebrating you in the full, real version of this.

 

P.S. If you get five quiet minutes and a warm drink you didn’t have to reheat… that counts

One of the nice things about medicine is that we're expected to change our minds. New evidence comes out. Guidelines get updated. Best practices evolve. If someone proudly announced they were still practicing exactly the way they learned twenty years ago because "that's how I've always done it," we'd all be a little concerned. So here's a question:When was the last time you updated the standard...
#100: One hundred Tuesdays. Thank you for spending them with us
Almost two years ago, we sent our first Weekly Boost. We hoped it might make someone's Tuesday a little lighter. Today is our 100th Tuesday. One hundred little reminders that life doesn't have to be lived quite so hard. Over these past hundred Tuesdays, we've shared a lot of ideas. That peace isn't waiting at the end of the to do list.That feelings are messengers, not dictators.That validation ...
Promotion denied: The best news you didn't know you needed
One of the sneakiest ways we make life harder than it needs to be is by accidentally taking responsibility for jobs that were never ours.  And we’re not talking about doing our teenager’s laundry for them.  We're talking about emotional jobs. The invisible ones we assign ourselves without even realizing it.  We tell someone how we feel... then think it's our job to make sure they understand per...
