ALWAYS STAY GRACIOUS 🎼
Some would say this edition is "late" but whose rule is that? Oh right, I make the rules.
Welcome to a (tough) love note, a weekly rundown by Amanda Katz (me) to help you move, feel, grow & rewire your mind for a stronger you. Okay you’ll also laugh. Basically, I like to make people believe in themselves. If you like this newsletter, share it with a friend...specifically one you like. While you’re at it, tag or DM me @amanda_katzz on the ‘gram and tell me what you loved reading this week!
How are you? I needed a break(ish) today from teaching live classes. Every Monday, I am blessed enough to stream into your homes from instagram live and on a rooftop in NYC for Equinox. I clue y’all in on a decent amount of ze happenings in my life but my needed break is one that is a little closer to home.
maybe, you: “why is she sounding cryptic?”
me: she isn’t! just trying to sound human and sometimes that means protecting my peace, fam.
I hope you take time this week to protect yours.
so let’s do this!
P.S. speaking of protecting yours, if you’re hosting Thanksgiving this year (outside of your immediate family and preferably those you live with): don’t. Take it from me, a girl whose family can count on one hand the amount of holidays we’ve celebrated on the actual day of said holiday. One time, we did Passover in June. We also had chicken gyros. Am I making sense? Great.
MAKING SENSE WITH SENSES
📖 Read: Shani tells you it’s okay to cancel your Thanksgiving.
🎤 Listen: Adam Sandler Thanksgiving Special
🎧 Play: Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (and view).
📺 Watch: Pen15 so you can see how someone was able to get cameras into my middle school and followed snowpooh28* around for 3 years.
*that was my email address. I was born in Winter, I loved Pooh and I’m born on the 28th of February. Do you feel seen?

A (tough) love note…
If you've grown accustomed to running without rest and you keep running because it’s easier to live on autopilot or no one’s noticed...stop that. Protecting your peace also means calling yourself out on your own shit. Practicing gratitude starts and ends with self. Awareness is a gift and if you’re still here, my guess is you have it or you want it enough.
You may run but you must rest.
Here for you.
