Trying to schedule a coffee date with a friend in this season of life is a freaking joke. I crave the connection, I really want to see my friend, but aligning our schedules is like searching for a four leaf clover in the desert – just ain’t happenin’.
But we’re not women who are going to let things like KIDS get in the way of our friendships. So I introduced a new thing we’re going to do every Friday on Instagram called Five to Thrive.

The premise is simple: send $5 to a girlfriend, teacher, colleague, old babysitter – WHOMEVER in lieu of that elusive coffee date. Boom! Relationship maintained and you’re feeling a heck of a lot better about yourself today! I don’t want us not to be women of action, but the reality is that we are out there mommin’ and wifin’ all day everyday, and sometimes there just isn’t time.
Every Friday, join me on Instagram as we spread the love amongst our people in our actual real everyday lives, with a simple $5. For real, it’s so simple. You can do it in less than 5 minutes on the Starbucks app. Write a quick note to that friend and MAKE THEIR DAY.
And you want to know a secret?? I bet you $5 that by you sending someone else $5, YOUR day will be made. You are the one who will get to experience a bit of joy, and have a little extra pep in your step! It’s a simple win-win!
