Hi FB Family... take 2! ha ha So... I just wanted to do a quick video for you. I've been talking to a lot of friends that have been going through some stuff. I've shared with all of them the following...and you know... I thought I'd share it with you too because... we all have those times when we're going through some stuff and we could use some support. And... sometimes you don't want to type it all out in a text. And... it can sometimes feel like getting somebody ON THE PHONE without prefacing it with something can be challenging. And so... a girlfriend of mine shared this with me... and I actually reached out to her to see if this was ok to share with others. And of course she's amazing and said "well of course if it can help other people".

It's really something quite simple. It's an agreement amongst friends.
An agreement that it will be taken very seriously... not used in vain... but rather used as a means
of communicating what's really going on. And that is the use of the purple heart. That's why I named this video with just an emoji of a purple heart.

And really what it does is ... as friends we agree we will use that purple heart in times when we're struggling. When we need help. When we need support... or when we just really really really could use a friend. You know... sometimes... you know I'm surrounded by really amazing women. Really... like... hard hitters... entrepreneurs... CEOs.... you know... we get busy in life! Moms! MOMS! Hello MOMS! ha ha! Lots of Moms!

And life takes over... life can totally take over! And it's not that we don't want to be there
for our friends... it's that we got some shit going on! You know?! And so sometimes a girlfriend might call ... and you'll be like... ok... not now... now's not a good time.

The purple heart... sending a purple heart first... let's you know the importance of
that phone call. It's not just to catch up. It's not just to say hi. It's a sign that I NEED to talk to somebody. More importantly, it might mean that I need somebody to reach out to ME. I'm in my hole. I'm in the hole. I am feeling not so great. I want to reach out.... and yet... I might need some help with that. Can you please call me when you get a chance... when you can talk? That kind of stuff.

So... I share that here with you because I know that if I need it... and my girlfriends need it... maybe there's some other people out there that need it too. Ummmm... this makes it really easy to ask for the help that you need. K? So... you know... think about it. Who are your people? Who are the people that will pick up the phone? You know... in the past... I think it was last week... I talked to you a little bit about... ummmm... levels of play. I talked to you about the inner circle and your team mates... and your friends... and your acquaintances. And I would encourage you to look at those people... maybe have a couple of conversations with people! Like hey... by the way... I heard about this really cool thing with a purple heart... and just so you know... if I send you that... what I'm trying to communicate to you is that I REALLY need to talk. I really really need it. It's not like... for chit chat... it's for serious. I really need to chat.

And have those conversations before you need it. So that it's available not just for you but for them too. And it gets to be part of ... you know for me it's part of my inner circle. If you're in my inner circle and I send you a purple heart... pick up the phone. ha ha ha! Just sayin... pick up the phone. k? So... I hope this was useful for you guys.

And... again... purple heart... think about those people that you would use that with. Maybe you have a friend that's already struggling. And you can tell them about the purple heart so that they know that they can count on you. That they have a means of communicating to you that they need help. Or they need to talk. K? Awesome.

Alright FB family!

I will see you bright and early tomorrow.

<Kiss> Sweet dreams.
Good night!
