Week 22 2026. Started in the woods, ended screaming with Harry. Week 21 2026. Totally high on knots 🪢. A busy week at work, speaking at Click EMEA (not pictured, my Britney era) followed by a long weekend in the woods, camping, climbing and hanging on ledges. Week 20 2026. Learning to slow down (just a little). Quiet moments, wine afternoons with my girls, a surprise at my door, rains storms, pizza nights, and new life sprouting inside and out. Week 19 2026. Rufus du Sol, dinner dates, summer days, gelato cones, emotional alchemy and even catching fish in the canals. Week 18 2026. King’s Day deserved its own moment. Week 17 2026. Week 16 2026. Week 15 2026. Week 14 2026.
