You're Welcome with Hilary Rushford Hilary Rushford

This was meant to be a just 3 min announcement, but based on your reaction to the news Dean Street Society is closing, I felt we needed another moment to just hang and process.

You asked for help choosing joy now and in the new year, after a hard year or season.
 
Can you relate to any of these?
 
You’re wishing time would go faster to get to something good or past something heavy?

Walking through disappointment?
Or feeling energized about making 2024 your best year yet?

The closer we get to a due date, the more I’m overthinking the name we have picked.
 
Here’s my advice on naming, plus what I’m looking for in case you have ideas?

Truly, Internet Aunties (and a few uncles) thank you for your help!
 

Sadly, much of a surrogacy journey is bracing for disappointment. However the positive side of that, is when things are easy you feel so incredibly lucky.
 
This week Jeremy, myself, and my mom all flew out to meet our surrogate’s family, our doctor, do a hospital tour, and have our 20-week anatomy scan.
 
All in a whirlwind 6 hours!
 
It was hilarious (y’all, our doctor is both an angel and a SNL character), a bit awkward, slightly triggering, and super heartwarming.
 
May it bring you more compassion, all the good feelings, and make you want to watch Bette Midler and Lily Tomlin this weekend! (wink)



Would be so grateful if you’ll share this episode with anyone it might bless, tag me @HilaryRushford on Instagram, and take a minute to leave a review. 
 
So grateful you’re here!
 

A breakdown of my last 24 hours and the choices I made when there was too much on my plate.
 
Things are a lot right now. 
 
Today I’m sharing exactly what I’m preaching, practicing, and sending in voice memos to my girlfriends.
 
We’re talking about:
 
How to avoid triggering people and *being* “that person” when someone’s struggling
How to get out of unsolicited advice convos #palmtoface
The #1 action to keep yourself and those around you more safe in the storms of life
How to get saved or have something solved when times are tough
 
I want to help you do better not by trying harder, but by trying more gently.

I’m watching friends navigate life from a place of burnout vs healing, and the difference is astounding.
 
Comparison (their grass is greener) keeps us chasing goals harder than we should.
 
Yet, the opposite of envy is even more destructive to our burnout, and far less talked about.
 
Today we’re healing the crippling mindset that keeps us chasing a dream until it nearly kills us.



Anxiety and depression are two manifestations of the same burnout root.
 
Whether today you’re sprinting to keep a million balls in the air, or struggling through a sad fog to get much of anything done – it’s burnout. 
 
The great news is that you can heal burnout! 
 
You don’t have to stay here.
 
Let’s start creating space for hope today…
