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.

Family meals have always been our secret sauce (syrup) for bonding and chilling together.

Ever since I can remember, K8 and I had to make it home in time for dinner. If we had a legitimate reason to miss, like field hockey games or intense study sessions, 🧬 might let it slide.

But there were two meals that were non-negotiable: Friday night dinners and Sunday pancakes.

One Friday night, K8 and I were excited to go see a band around the corner from our house. We kept telling 🧬 we wouldn’t make it to dinner. Well, that didn’t exactly happen. Before we left for the show, 🧬 insisted we eat first. So, he cooked us two chicken breasts in the convection oven and made himself a steak. K8 and I will never forget that night of the chicken jerky!

On Sundays, there was no sleeping in. We had to be at the dining room table between 9:30 and 10 a.m. for our specially shaped pancakes! I usually got a bear, K8 an elephant, 🦷 blueberry pancakes, and 🧬 liked to make heart and bug shapes for himself. Sparkle syrup; a necessity for K8.

To us, these family rituals are core values. Over the years, we’ve learned that you can learn more from your dining room table than anywhere else.

We're a lil late with this newsletter because Mother’s Day hit us hard, but we believe moms should be celebrated every day. To all our followers who are moms, spend time with their moms, or are grieving for their moms like we are, we appreciate you. 💙 Sending Big Lava Bro Hugs!!!!

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, Monsters at Work. 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.
