Yeah, I was totally on team "just the facts" for emails... thought any extra words were just fluff. But reading what @the_jake said about making people feel seen first, it kinda clicked. My old direct emails got the job done but sometimes felt cold. Now I throw in one line, like "Thanks for sending this over," before the ask. Same speed, but it just... lands better with people.

Seriously, my friend got edited to look lazy for just taking a breather!

Ugh, I feel this so hard. I had the same narrow stance for years because some magazine said it was right. It took a nasty bit of knee pain to finally figure out my hips just work better with my feet way wider. Relearning that motor pattern was such a grind.

Nah that's just a sign your thermometer probe was in the wrong spot, lol. Gotta check the thickest part away from bone or fat.
