It’s a bold move to title a post Funny. I’m in a funny mood. I’m amped—it feels like there’s more motion and activity in my job search/work search than ever. It feels like there’s motion in podcasting and h.e.n.r.y. and emceeing and all sorts of Brand Lyssa things (barf). I’m happy—I got to attend the…

Some recs and Sanne squats | Feel Good Friday 060526
Sanne is standing and bobbing and it is the cutest thing in the whole world. When she gets scared or tired, she squats down sooooo slowly pilates instructors everywhere are jealous, and it’s hilarious. She’s cruising and loves laps around our (leather pouf) coffee table. She is the most wonderful baby in the whole world…
Making Things | Checklist 105
Lalalala let’s dive in. It’s Monday, it’s hot, I’m not spending money, I don’t like window shopping. If I’m shopping, I’m buying*. WERK I’m not a Martha Stewart stan by any stretch, but I’m not not a fan. I love the idea of her latest company, Hint, an AI-powered home maintenance predictor (with the obvious…
Good Happy Energy | Feel Good Friday 042426
A great conversation: posted it on LinkedIn. It happened on Friday, and I was stoked. Posting though felt risky. Did it anyway. A week later, can confirm it wasn’t. Energy, y’all. Good energy begets good energy. Vibez. Frequency. Manifestation. Belief. Whatever we’re calling it, we, I, need more of the good stuff: the faith, the…
Happy Hour | Feel Good Friday 041026
I mean the spread was really GOOD. I made two whipped cheeses (brie and feta) from this book: I’ll Bring the Apps, and did a signature blackberry bramble cocktail alongside wine, beer, and hopwater. Friends, networking people, and new people all came. It was a perfect mix, and the right number of people, and I…
Has LinkedIn become my new blog? | Feel Good Friday 032726
I don’t feel good this freakin’ Friday. I am grateful for a lot of things but in the season I am in right now, when I wrote “good” in that headline I had a visceral reaction, a shuddering like “what a lie.” Here is what I just cannot conjure up any gratitude for: a seemingly…
Hey Peggy | Feel Good Friday 031326
HeyPeggy.ai launched today!! She’s the first in what will be a suite of small business marketing agents. We’ve been crunch-timing her all week and it’s super fun to be building.

“this is the glute of the face” | Feel Good Friday March 6, 2026
stowing away on ships. i have recently found out that ancestors ON BOTH SIDES OF MY FAMILY came to America by stowing away on a ship. does this explain everything you need to know about myska allen rebelliousness? or is it a story of persecution? or was stowing away on ships just really common back…
2026: The Year of Softness
I wanted to paint the feeling of letting go But when you have a baby, nothing goes according to plan and that’s part of letting go so I asked AI to do it … … and I don’t like it. Which helped me understand that the word of the year isn’t actually letting go (it’s…
Every day is a holiday week Day | Feel Good Wednesday 123125
… when you’re a stay at home mom not by choice 😉 This “deadweek” feels like my regular life. Because time doesn’t exist, nor do calories. But I am grateful for the time with my baby girl. She is the best thing in the entire world. The cutest, the funniest, the biggest personality, all at…
