Oh my goodness, so much of this resonates, particularly around publishing. My first book also came out this year, and while on paper everything is "great" — and I have definitely soaked in and celebrated the incredible moments! — so much of this year was such a mindf**k of navigating anxiety, questioning whether I was doing "enough" to "make a difference" in the book's reach and impact, and spending a LOT of mental and emotional energy trying to stay true to MY definition of success in the face of so much noise around me tempting me with what success "should" look like. Just wanted to say that I really appreciated this :) Thank you to the Threads algorithm for sending it (and you) my way!
Love seeing people share like this. You're right, your highlight list looked incredible! And it was, but I know the lows that come with it well myself. I'm so glad you're focusing on recovering and how you want your life to look going forward <3
Thank you so much for showing up so fully, Tawny. I know it's clichéd to say it gives others "permission" to do the same...but, truly, it does! I've felt shy about some of my own shares recently and have questioned whether to dial things back in the new year. I deeply appreciate seeing others show up honestly and am so grateful we connected in this space!
Even though we know we're (almost always) only seeing people's highlight reel, it's so easy to forget that the glossy photos and awe-inspiring announcement captions aren't the whole story! So appreciated this honest look behind the curtain, Tawny 🤍 p.s. can I come stay in your Manhattan apartment? That right there *does* sound like the dream!
I feel this so much. ❤️
So glad we both supported each others’ launches this year! 💋
Oh GOD yes!!! The friends you make along the way are really the best part of publishing a book 🤗
All the heart emojis

Girl this is a BIG YEAR. I see you ❤️
Feeling seen! 😍
