A nighttime pep talk for the beautifully exhausted
Let’s be real: Some days feel like they lasted three. The coffee wore off at 2 PM. The to-do list didn't do anything but grow. And the only thing you managed to check off was “keep going.”
But guess what?
You did that. You showed up. You kept trying. You fed the dog. Maybe even the kids. (Yourself? TBD, but there's still time for a snack.)
So, before you fall asleep over your phone or scroll yourself into oblivion, hear this:
