Feelin' Good with Marie: the week Disneyland taught me zero lessons, Texas taught me way too much about cardboard, and Moose the service dog is already the VIP of the year!
Hey y’all!!!
Welcome back. If you’re new here… hi, I’m Marie. Glad you showed up. If you’ve been around a while, you know the vibe. Let’s go.
Disneyland report
I went to Disneyland on Saturday and have no leadership metaphors or “Space Mountain is just like entrepreneurship” nonsense.
I just rode rides, got sugar all over my face from a comically large churro, laughed a lot, and called it a perfect day.
10/10
Who knew packaging could be so fun?
First time in Texas and I spent it at a carton factory.
We’re hunting for the right packaging for GloGlo. We’re squishing pieces of cardboard to choose what’s right for us.
This whole consumer product thing is wild... Try it if your life is feeling too easy.
Our best collab yet???
We’re doing a thing with Ashton Gurnari and it just makes sense in the best way.
She’s a TikTok creator, huge advocate for invisible disabilities, and one of the kindest humans I’ve met.
She also has hypoglycemi and we make glucose gummies. The universe basically served this one up on a silver platter.
So we made a jar with both our faces on it, with a special mixed fruit flavor. Live on Amazon and TikTok Shop, go buy one as a collectors item.
Ashton and her service dog Moose are coming to stay with us in San Francisco in September. Riva’s gonna have to step aside for a minute. I’m stupidly excited!!!!
Much needed reminder
Truth: this is everyone’s first time being alive.
The person who “has it all together” ? First time
Your boss? First time Their boss? The intern?
Wait, EVERYONE’s first time? Everyone is just winging it?
Literally yes. Give yourself a break, and have some fun.
Thing of the Week
Pack your running shoes first.
Before the toothbrush, and laptop, and anything.
When I land in a new place I just start running with no plan, eventuality pull up my phone, find the best coffee shop nearby, and make that the finish line.
You see the city like a local, move your body, earn your latte, and great ideas will come! Simple little ritual that’s been saving me lately.
This weekend
If you’re reading this, please pray for me. I’m running the Presidio 10K today (shoes already packed, system works). And we’re officially moving into the new GloGlo HQ in the Marina, complete with future guest room for Ashton + Moose. Two kinda big things, one weekend. Should be fun (and chaotic).
That’s it for this week!!!
Disneyland taught me nothing, Texas taught me everything, and somewhere in the middle I remembered to just enjoy being a human who’s never done this before.
Send me your favorite SF French restaurants (still collecting), running playlists (need 10K fuel), and tell me - what’s the first thing you pack when you travel?
Talk soon. Be gentle with yourself out there.
