Hello new supporters--there are quite a few of you! We're so happy to have you here as part of the Pham in our little oasis amidst the culture wars. A couple of things:
1. For the community guidelines check these out. My primary rule: Don't be a dick. https://phetasy.com/about
2. I'm crazily busy between writing, podcasting, filming on top of working with sponsees in recovery and trying to keep myself sane. I promise you I'm not ignoring you if I don't like your post -- please don't take it personally. I do my best to get in here every day and see what everyone is up to--but I don't always have the time to read every comment or post, as much as I'd like to do so.
3. We do bi-monthly #DropInsWelcome Zoom meetings--in fact we have one this Friday! I'd love to see your faces there and get to know some of you better, put a face to the name and all.
4. Ladies of the Pheta Pham - we are doing scheduled Zoom workouts and I'd love to see you there. It's great bonding time and a way to hold ourselves accountable and show up for ourselves. Keep an eye out for the schedule, I hashtag them all #SarahConnor.
Okay that's all I can think of for now. I really love seeing everyone posting in here--this place is so special to me. We work really hard to make cool stuff and I appreciate each and every one of your support. And to the old timers in here who are so welcoming to all the newbies, you are the best. You make me want to be a better person.
Don't forget to tip your waitress.
This week on #FactorySettings @justjeren and I talk about the elephant in the room. MONEY! We talk about when we first became aware of it, how it affected our parents' divorces, how much we spent on our addiction, being dependent, financial insecurity and so much more!

I continue my series with Thomas de Zengotita as we go through his book Mediated chapter by chapter. This week the topic is identity politics and we cover a lot of ground. #WalkInsWelcome
Hello new followers, I hope I don’t disappoint you. I want this place to feel like home, where we can escape the Thunderdome and process the world. Where we can post dog pics and recipes and book recommendations. Where we support each other as we get sober, lose weight, embark on new business opportunities, creative endeavors, relationships and travels. I want this to be your oasis of sanity and laughter in an increasingly mad world. A creative outlet where you can share your spirit with us.
We might not have any control over the news cycle—but we can control our habits and attitude. It all starts with us. And hopefully a little piece of that will start here.
Two times this week I had the bizarre experience of getting in touch with an old friend and sending them a picture of my daughter and having them respond with, “Who is that?” To which I responded, “She is my daughter!”
Now, let me tell you, Newport knows how to celebrate like the Irish. The parade kicks off at 11 a.m. and if you want the truly local experience, you’ll already be on your way to blacking out by the time the streets are lined with green-clad revelers ready to paint the town green (with vomit.)
Oh I’ve been here before—this isn’t even theoretical. First of all, it depends on the city but the absolute best way to get to know any city is to start walking. So if I was in a city with no money or friends, I would just start exploring. You can easily look up a walking tour of any city online if you’re someone who needs more structure and wants to take in some architecture and history.
