My alternate title for this episode is how to make summer not suck this year if you hate summer.

Listen, I feel like there are two types of people in the world, fall people and summer people

and I'm fall people. Okay, I actually hate summer. Hey is kind of a strong word, but listen, I live in

Florida and you literally cannot go outside without being

drenched in 13 seconds like the only way that I'm going outside from mid-May to

September is if I'm getting in a body of water I thrive being outdoors so

being cooped up inside all summer just gives me the summer blues. And I know that's kind of like

the opposite. Most people get the winter blues. But I really do get the summer blues. And here's a thing.

And this is why it's like kind of tricky. I actually love the idea of summer. I think I would love

summer if I didn't live in Florida because I love the aesthetic of summer. I love the long days. I love ice coffee.

I love the slower schedule. I love the bright colors. I love summer fashion. I just hate the

weather and feeling trapped inside because of it. And maybe if we got a pool, if you're watching

this on YouTube, I keep looking this way because that is our backyard over there. And I think if we had a pool, it would be different. But we don't have a pool. If you're watching this on YouTube, I keep looking this way because that is our backyard over there. And I think if we had a pool, it would be different, but we don't have a

pool. So every June, I start to get anxious that summer is here. And I find myself kind of wishing

time away until October, which is when the weather becomes bearable again here in Florida.

And I don't want to

do that this year. I want to romanticize summer so that I actually enjoy it this year, even if

that means that I'm spending more time indoors. So my daughter Everly, she's three this year.

And we've got some changes coming up this fall. And so I just really want to be in a good headspace

this summer. I want to be super present with her intentional about how we're spending time together.

So I'm doing six things to help me romanticize summer this year. And I'm going to share them

with you today. Welcome or welcome back to the Hustle Stanley podcast. I hope that you're taking care of
