Happy Friday and happy\u00a0<em>Wicked<\/em> day!! Are you going? Did you already go?? The girls and I are going the second they get out of school and I can\u2019t.even.wait. (I\u2019m a little bit more excited than they are, but they\u2019re good sports and they know they get movie lunch and dessert out of the deal.)<\/p>\n<p>In other news, P went back to school today. I\u2019ll share more in an upcoming post (and will probably blab all about it over on <a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessista.substack.com\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Substack<\/a> in the meantime), but it\u2019s the end of a <a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessista.com\/why-we-decided-to-homeschool\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow noopener noreferrer\">homeschool era<\/a>. It was never meant to be a permanent thing unless it needed to be, and she was ready to go back to her friends and teachers. I\u2019m happy for her, cautiously optimistic, and kind of a secret mess emotionally. I know I\u2019ll be crying on and off most of the morning with complex emotions, and will probably cry more at\u00a0<em>Wicked\u00a0<\/em>so there ya go.<\/p>\n<p>For now, it\u2019s time for the weekly Friday Faves party. This is where I share some of my favorite finds from the week and around the web.

It can increase circulation, support detox pathways, help calm the nervous system, and gives you that post-session \u201cI just did a workout and a meditation\u201d feeling. I use it at least once a week.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/tidd.ly\/4gxIgpZ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">PEMF Go Mat<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nMy daily grounding tool.
