Amy, you’re even more amazing than I thought! I, too, have that impulse to self-censor on Substack and IRL. I keep thinking “I’ll lose subscribers if I publish that!” And then I think, “So what.” You are a total rockstar. Navigating grief is the toughest thing I’ve ever done. We all have our own ways of doing it, and none of them are easy. But neither are they wrong or bad. Love you so much!🫶❤️💕
I know this is more for Amy, but I love gourmet message and I am a newer reader of your work and LOVE how you share your perspective with the world. The “so what” attitude is what I’ll be taking into 2025 🤣
Thank you for reading and showing up for Amy here!!
Love all of this, K and Amy! I applaud your self-indulgance- single mothers need this so much. And your loud opinions and hot photographs have helped me embrace my needs and wants more and more. Thank you for living and writing and showing up so honestly, Amy!
Love this!!! Amy, I'm so inspired by your commitment to keep showing up as YOU, with your spicey, hot, takes. Yes, yes, yes!!! And OOOOF, I soooo relate to your son being your kryptonite. My natural instinct is to be a massive pushover with my daughter, too. 😅 Trying to work on it. It's... hard. 😅 Thank you Miss K + Miss A for this!!!
What a raw and inspiring conversation, K and Amy! Amy, your journey of self-discovery and healing is such a beacon for anyone navigating grief, self-censorship, or the struggle to embrace their truth unapologetically. Your perspective on pouring love and respect back into ourselves feels like a gentle but powerful wake-up call.
I especially resonated with your advice about not putting off living your truth—it’s such a poignant reminder that life’s brevity is part of its beauty. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and your story with such authenticity and grace. This was a joy to read!
I resonated with that too, Jay! Living in our truth is such a HARD ask of people pleasers, but I’m learning that the reward is beyond all joys. Thank you for being here and bearing witness to Amy’s message!
K. Alexandra, thank you for your heartfelt words! Living our truth is indeed a challenging journey, especially for those of us who’ve spent so long prioritizing others. But as you said, the reward—the freedom, joy, and authenticity—is immeasurable.
I see you, and I’m cheering you on as you continue embracing your truth. Love you back! 🤍✨
Amy is fabulous! Although her posts sometimes make me uncomfortable as a 69 year old lesbian, I fully support her courage and honesty. It’s refreshing and challenges me to put more of myself on the page. Thank you, Amy!
My loves! Thus is wonderful - some very good advice here. Also Amy I didn't know you were a fellow Star Wars super-fan. Or maybe you did now that I remember...Leia in the slave costume... 😁
