The Joy List: July 14
Hi there, my gorgeous readers!
We don’t have a New Yorker of the Week today. Do you know someone (including yourself!) who should be featured? Forward them this form. Foster fur babies are definitely welcome to be featured, as well.
Now, onto the GIF and the fun things:
Tired of psychiatrists who just give you five minutes and pull out a prescription pad?
Enter: Francesca Rome-Marie. She's a Johns Hopkins trained psychiatric nurse practitioner who runs a holistic therapy and somatic practice. Unlike most therapists though, she can also do lab work, recommend supplements, and prescribe medications. Francesca works with people of all ages, backgrounds, and identities. Many of her patients are part of LGBTQIA+ communities (with many trans and non-binary individuals), and are also creatives of some type.
She specializes in depression, ADHD, anxiety, and trauma. Francesca works with only a small group of patients so she always has time and attention to devote to each individual. She provides creative, modern, and non-judgmental care. Learn more here and sign up for a free discovery call.
Madrona meditation - Guiding you towards empowerment.
We believe there’s more to guided meditations than a game of “Simon Says.”
Simon says: count your breaths. Simon says: feel your toes. Simon says: Ohm.
Our guided meditations set you up to meditate on your own for the rest of your life.

Wednesday, July 16: Daybreaker x Othership Sauna Rave

An evening designed for the city’s newest residents. Whether you’re here for a chapter or a lifetime, this gathering will set you up to make the most of every moment and every connection. You’ll hear from people who have ‘cracked the code’ on finding their people and get to meet fellow newcomers who are just as excited (and maybe a little overwhelmed?) to be here as you are.

Thursday, July 17: Inner Child Art Nyte
Craving some creativity? Join us for Inner Child Art Nyte, an evening designed to help you reconnect with your most vibrant, joyful self.

Whether you're a seasoned artist or haven't touched a crayon since Pre-K, this night is for you!
$25. 7-9 PM. 199 Cook Street. Info here.

Book Clubs Are The New Run Clubs
Ready to meet new people but don't like to run...or run with other people? After School's bite-sized book club is the perfect alternative...
💦 No sweaty panting conversations…unless you want to 😉
🔥 Flex your mind, not your PRs 🧠
😮💨 No grunting, just groaning over good ideas (and maybe a little tension)
You know you should post consistently on LinkedIn… but the idea gives you IBS?
The 4th cohort of Make LinkedIn Weird starts this Wednesday. (And yes, this is me, Jillian from The Joy List.)
Each week we’ll:
Learn a new LI skill
Do writing exercises to practice
Get feedback on posts
Virtually hold hands and share our ups and downs
AND if you sign up by midnight tonight, you will get a free 1:1 coaching call with me!
