More Gink Hugs. Less Meetings.

LAVA BRO isn't just an emotional support company; we're your hype squad, vibing like a winning sports team or backing each other up like siblings. In this weekly newsletter, together, we celebrate small wins . We blend the excitement of sports highlights with strategies to tackle those existential crises that pop up in our everyday lives. Share with your family & friends.

K8 & GINK

The sisters known as the Internet! 👯‍♀️

I’m back in NJ visiting K8 and 🧬. Maggie, King Bob and I worked at a craft show for K8, and it was a hit! I had to tie a pom-pom on a hat for a customer—customization in action! And, best of all, the Lions are 8-1!

I flew back Wednesday, just after the BIG Election count was over. It seems people are feeling a lot—some are happy, others are pretty bummed. Some people were even crying at the airport. To be honest, it’s intense. Elections stir up big emotions, but the important thing is this: we all had the chance to vote, or not, and that’s the whole point. There’s no perfect outcome, but we do have the freedom to choose, and that’s something many around the world would love to have.

A reminder I keep coming back to is this: when things don’t go as planned, it’s a chance to focus on what we can control. We can pour our energy into the work that matters, our relationships, hobbies, and the communities around us.

Taking Steps that Count:

Stick to Your Core Values – When things feel out of whack, it helps to come back to what really drives you. It keeps you grounded, and you’ll find strength in your purpose, regardless of who’s in office.

Focus on the Local Wins – National stuff can feel huge and heavy, but change happens faster and clearer at the local level. In my town, we got new fire trucks approved—those little victories that remind you your voice matters. Plus, celebrating your own small wins ✨ can make a big difference.

Remember Who’s Got Your Back – LAVA BRO!

Embrace Your Freedom to Be Here – We’ve got a right to choose, to voice what we want for our lives. It’s not perfect, but it’s ours.

Today, 11/11, reminds me of my grandpa—a Navy vet who taught me to keep moving forward, no matter the setbacks. I miss hearing his stories, the way he’d laugh about his boat always breaking down, making him late to everything. So I’ll remember him in my own way today like getting the Veterans Day badge on my Apple Watch for an 11 minute walk. Maybe that’s something we all could use—a reminder of what we’re really about.

Happy Veterans Day. Always remember to thank a veteran for their service.

SMALL WINS

Let’s dive into the *~magic~*!

In a world that's all about the big moments, it's time to give props to the small wins—like finally nailing that thing you put off & it only taking 5 minutes, catching a breather mid-chaos or hustling through a workout when you'd rather binge, Gilmore Girls. They might not make an impact, but these wins? They're the rizz to leveling up. So, let’s celebrate our accomplishments and manifest for the week ahead. 

  • Happy Birthday, Lindsay!

  • Dom played frisbee and his knees didn’t die. He also had some great buffalo chicken pizza with Rileigh.

  • Rileigh survived the week.

  • Morgan organized her closet & spent the week with her sister.

  • Maggie & T5 got their Christmas tree up.

  • Mini Friend had Korean BBQ & got LAVA Bro croc charms.

  • Gink, K8 & Friend got matching 40oz rhinestone Santa tumblers.
