I'm Laura Tremaine and I have 10 things to tell you. And you have 10 things to tell.

This show is about connection,

with each other and with ourselves.

And the hope is that the things we talk about here

will be fuel for better conversations and a personal awareness.

Each episode has a prompt or a topic that I want you to take to your journal, text to a friend,

or share on social media using the hashtag 10

Things to Tell You. This is a show about digging deeper and sharing our

stuff. I'll go first. Okay, it has been a minute since I shared with you a list of my

favorite things and so I have a lot to tell you about today, including my new favorite lipstick and my new favorite thing that I keep on my bedside table, the best non-fiction book I've read so far this year besides my own, and professional

services that I've paid for and think are worth every single penny. There is a lot that we are going to get to today as I share my favorite things.

And as always, I just want to remind you that we talk about our favorite things for a few reasons.

On this show and online, wherever we decide to share our favorite things. It's number one fun, which is not to be

underestimated. Sharing things because it's fun to share them and talk about them and

recommend things is worth it alone.

Like if that was the only reason we did it, doing it for fun is enough.

But also we do it because when we're sharing our favorite things, we're also sharing parts of ourselves.

We're sharing what we're into, we're sharing what our taste is right now.

Usually when we list our favorite things it also brings up a feeling of

gratitude in us and so it then lets us have a minute to be like yes I love that thing

and also just recommending stuff is nice and worthy of our time I

love it when my friends recommend things I love to recommend things most of us do and so this is why we share our favorite things
