Hi Reader,

I’ve been obsessed with two things this week.
​​
Ok, that's a lie.

In reality, I’m obsessed with a number of things all the time—but these two happen to go together in a song. Which is why “Ruby Tuesday” has been playing on a loop in my head.

​

Why? Because my daughter Ruby just started high school as an upperclassman and I can't for the life of me figure out how this has happened, and because this newsletter is officially moving to Tuesdays.

And so, Ruby and Tuesday. If that feels like an odd connection, I hear you, but there's no stopping a song stuck on repeat, amiright? Ruby’s moving into a new season of her life—and so am I.

Motherhood has taught me to pay attention to these shifts. There’s always a moment when you realize the ground beneath your feet has changed: your toddler suddenly insists on dressing herself, your teenager casually drives away without looking back (this one is really rough!), or your “baby” is suddenly the upperclassman you still picture in a backpack two sizes too big. The details are different, but the theme is the same: time moves, and so must we.

Which brings me to Tuesdays. Not just because of the song stuck in my head, but because it’s the right rhythm for me—and for Roar, which is about to kick off its third season.

So from now on, Tuesdays are ours. It’s when Roar will drop starting October 7, and it just feels right—maybe because “Ruby Tuesday” has been stuck in my head, or maybe because it’s the rhythm I need. Either way, you’ll find me here every week.

Behind the scenes, I’ve been recording Season 3 of Roar and even talking with a production company about expanding its reach. I’ll share more about that soon, but mostly I’m learning to treat this work like Ruby’s new season of high school: a little intimidating, a little thrilling, and worth stepping into with both feet.

So yes, “Ruby Tuesday” has been stuck in my head. But for me it’s less about the Rolling Stones (and it's definitely not about the restaurant) and more about a reminder: seasons change, kids grow up, work evolves, and the rhythm shifts. The question is whether we shift with it.

I’m choosing to. And I’m glad you’re here with me on this new Tuesday rhythm.

See you next week,
​

Danielle
