I’ve been using Apple products since my first Mac in 1989. So imagine my surprise when Apple decided to release a special iPhone just for me, in my all-time favorite color, perfectly matching the rest of my EDC, just to say, “Thanks, Shawn!” 😁

Okay, @RocketDotNet, I'm impressed. I've never had a perfect page speed score... until now. Thrilled with the speedy, hassle-free migration, too. Now I see what all the fuss is about, @xojessfrick, @corymiller303, and @KJRichards!

Who knew anxiety was going to be part of my menopause story? 😳 So grateful for how these friends are normalizing all the things around the “change of life” women go through. Give episode 15 of @TheMenoPosseShow a listen if you want to hear my story and also get a good laugh! 😆
