If you’re thinking… 😶‍🌫️ I feel HO If you’re thinking…

😶‍🌫️ I feel HOPELESS.
😿 I wanna GIVE UP.
🫥 I don’t have the energy for a ‘program.’
🙄 I’m tired of surface-level ‘mindset shifts’.
💔 I don’t believe or trust in anything right now.

YOU’RE  the person I made this for. 

This is opt-in, choice-based, nervous-system aware. You can lurk, listen, or play, it’s all valid.

One of the most common things I’m hearing right One of the most common things I’m hearing right now is “I feel HOPELESS” and “I just wanna Give UP”.

You know when you’re life is falling… and it just KEEPS falling?

It’s not a clean break. Not just ONE thing. 😣

But that slow-motion unraveling where everything feels kind of… wrong.

💭 You’re exhausted but can’t sleep.
💭 You’re scrolling but not absorbing.
💭 You’re laughing at memes about wanting to disappear, but also kind of mean it.

You’ve tried gratitude lists and hydration and talking to a friend.

But it still feels like you’re ⛈️ underwater with a smile on. 🫠

No one talks enough about the middle part. 😵‍💫
The stretch after everything breaks and before you’ve figured out how to live again.

That’s why I made 🌥️ Everything Sucks… NOW What?

🐶 This week’s 11K Highlight: A DOG PARTY! 🥳

My new friend Kendall @cloudydaychronicles and her family came dressed in their best dog digs (paw prints, Bluey, and even the Dogfather). 🐾 Her kids wanted to throw a dog party at the park, so we set up right outside the dog park in Patterson Park. 🏞️

🎖️ We handed out silly awards like “pawfect” and “best pup.”
🍗 They shared chicken jerky treats.
🫧 Alma + Max shouted “DOG PARTY!” while blowing silly noisemakers.
🖍️ I chalked “Good Dogs Sit Here” as a photo spot.
📝 And we put up a poster asking people to share what they love about dogs (yes, “hot dogs” made the list). 🌭

Something that stood out to me: 💖

Having kids with me made people so much more likely to join in. 🚸 And while that was VERY fun and effective, I also dream of a world where anyone can throw a dog party solo and it feels completely normal. 🎈 That’s what the 11K project is all about; making joy, kindness, and silliness part of EVERYDAY life for EVERYONE.

What if you had a manual for the days that feel im What if you had a manual for the days that feel impossible?

That’s exactly why I created The Existential Survival Guide! It’s a weird, wildly honest, deeply compassionate zine you get as soon as you join Everything Sucks, Now What? (before the program even starts Oct 5th)!

Inside, you’ll find: ⤵️

🌥️ The Survival Menu (five flavors of coping: soft, sharp, silly, still, sweaty)
🌥️ Absurd micro-missions + practical check-ins
🌥️ Flip-the-script exercises + future-self notes
🌥️ Stoic & absurdist wisdom + poetic pep talks
🌥️ Flowcharts, rituals, + tiny scripts for big feelings

Print it. 🖨️ Scribble on it. 🖌️ Tape it to your fridge. 🪧

You’re still here. Let’s make that count. ❣️

This summer at the Hampden Highlights Festival, I got to share why the Bubble Parade matters to me:

🌈 Listening to your inner kid
🌈 Finding reverence in simple joys
🌈 Saying yes to life while we’re here

When we feel good, we do good. That’s why these parades matter, they’re happiness + fun tangible + visible!

And guess what? The Bubble Parade is BACK! Flash mob edition 🎉

📅 Sunday, Sept 28
📍 Across from Patterson Park (outside St. Michael’s Ukrainian Church)
🕔 2:30–3 sharp (be on time, it’s a flash mob!)
💸 Free to attend

🚦 What if resetting the universe was as simple 🚦 What if resetting the universe was as simple as pressing a button?

When you’re DEEPLY down, feeling good can feel a million miles away. Euphoria, energy, and just “functioning” …  it all blurs into “not me, not possible.” The same way a million dollars and a hundred million both feel equally out of reach when you’re broke.

But when you get closer, you realize there are levels. Nuance. Small steps that matter and DO make a difference.

The truth is messy. Complicated. Sometimes painful. But it’s also where real possibility + opportunity lives.

Our brains don’t just respond to what’s happening, they respond to what they EXPECT will happen. (That’s why placebo surgeries can work. Why hotel maids lose weight when told cleaning is exercise. Why expectancy theory is such a big deal.)

Fear likes to masquerade as power. But what if we gave more power to POSITIVE expectations? What if we believed that a tiny action, like a “push to reset”, could create a ripple?

That’s what I’m experimenting with in Everything Sucks, Now What?

It’s not about pretending the world isn’t broken. It’s about pressing “reset” in your own way, in your own time, until you can feel again.
