Good Morning!
Happy April! No pranks hereājust the good stuff.
Weāre officially into spring, and I donāt know about you, but my body is craving fresh foods, longer walks, and maybe a closet clean-out (well maybe, I have a garden plant š ). If youāre feeling that seasonal shift too, todayās newsletter is full of little nudges to help you lean into the reset.

Why Fiber Is the Real MVP
Gut health isnāt just about probioticsāfiber is a huge part of the equation. It feeds your good gut bacteria, helps manage blood sugar, and keeps digestion on track. If your meals are looking a little beige lately, consider this your friendly reminder to toss in something leafy, crunchy, or seedy today. Your gut will thank you.

š° Earthquake in Myanmar ā A devastating earthquake has hit Myanmar, where rescue workers are racing to find survivors. Tragically, the military governmentācurrently in the middle of a civil warāis continuing airstrikes instead of focusing on recovery efforts. The humanitarian crisis continues to worsen. And with USAID canceled, China is filling the Humanitarian vacuum
š° Tariffs Are Not the Vibe ā Trump is pushing hard on tariffs again, insisting theyāll āmake America great,ā but the rest of the world isnāt convinced. Tensions with Canada are heating up (especially after he continues to insult them š), and the EU is already forging new trade deals that leave the U.S. out. Itās not looking great.
š° Iceberg Breaks Off Antarctic Shelf ā An iceberg the size of Chicago has broken off an Antarctic ice shelf. Scientists are studying it closely and have already made some fascinating discoveries about how climate change is accelerating glacial movement.
š° Immigration Raids Intensify ā The Trump administration continues aggressive ICE raids, reportedly detaining immigrants with legal status and, in some cases, deporting individuals for exercising their right to free speechāraising serious constitutional concerns.

What Else!
šæ April Is Stress Awareness Month
If life feels a little frenzied lately, this is your sign to slow down. Try a 5-minute breathwork session or journal before bed. Tiny habits = big shifts. Insight Timer is my go-to, but you might also love Calm, Headspace, or The Mindfulness App. Prefer a book? That works too!
šBe Tough & Carry Your Stuff
Lululemon’s Everywhere Belt Bag was the bag a few years ago, and honestly, I still love mine. Itās my everyday go-toāeven when I toss it into a larger tote. This yearās colors for the Everywhere belt bag are so good (Iām eyeing Green Alouette and Pink Passion). Want a little more space? Try the larger 2L version or the sleek faux leather version. Need more room? They have great sleek backpacks or have a new parent bag for stylish mommas (and dads, too). Cute, functional, and funājust how I like my accessories.

Something to Think About
“You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.” ā Martin Luther King Jr.
You know that thing you’ve been wanting to do? Do it. There’s no better time than now. Take that first stepāyouāll figure the rest out as you go.
Thatās it for today, friend. Wishing you a fresh, happy start to the month. Go take that walk, try that salad, and rememberāyouāre doing great. šø
Until next time,
Sally
