It's about helping you navigate through the answers you already know in ways you never knew you needed.

"Sometimes, you have to say things out loud to make them real.

Maybe it's something small-like admitting you need to stop overbuying lettuce with the intention of eating two salads a day. No one does that in real life.

Sometimes it's bigger-like the first time you whispered, "I need a divorce."

There's something validating about hearing yourself make a declarative statement. It makes you accountable to the single most important person in your life: you.

Behind all the quiet resentment, the small conflicts you brush off to keep the peace, the stagnant leftovers of relationships that wouldn't survive a Friday afternoon fridge cleaning...there's clarity.

You just have to give yourself permission to hear yourself aloud.

We often know exactly what we need-but we don't trust ourselves to follow through.

It's like going to the gym in January, and four years later realizing you spent enough for a down payment on five acres in rural Washington. With water rights.

I can't speak for anyone else-who can? Who should?

But what I can share is this: talking to Russ and working through whatever's going on has been unexpectedly funny, intellectually energizing, and emotionally grounding.

There's no "So, what I hear you saying..." or Law and Order therapy cliches. It's an honest, heartfelt connection-wrapped in something sustainable that actually leaves you feeling good about yourself.

So, to all of us, still clinging like a Kraft Singles processed cheese product...consider this your first trip to the farmer's market."
