Hi {{ first name | reader }},
The cool thing about being the dad of young kids
Is that you experience things you wouldn’t choose or get to choose to do
Like handling a rattlesnake.
It was safe and the snake was contained and all the boys (including me) enjoyed the presentation
What was fascinating was the science
Evidently rattlesnakes shed after a set number of years
And ever shed adds another rattle, or bead, to their tail
Which is how you can know how old a snake is
And how much life they have experienced 🐍
*More below after a word from Bankrate 👇🏾
A HYSA or a High Yield Savings Account allows you to get many times more interest on the money you’ve got over the average bank or credit union savings. If you’re an independent creator, freelancer, or entrepreneur like me, then you know our money often comes in lump sums, like we could get a book deal advance and have to live on it for like a year! So it is super important we put our short-term money in an accessible place where it can compound. I’ve recently gotten more focused on my finances, learned about HYSAs, and got a couple accounts.
To choose the best ones for me, I first asked my mentors and loved ones. Then I went to Bankrate, the folks supporting this show. They have an up to date list of all the reputable HYSAs with pros and cons, FDIC or similar insurance backings, and the current rate. It was simple to see which HYSA fit me best - and it is all free.

Me and my closest friends are now middle aged
We talk about random body quirks that happen now
Laugh at the difficult things that we thought were hard at the time
And pause when we all remember a moment that happened many, many rattles ago.
Snakes have to shed
As do crabs and other creatures.
They need to stop everything
And pause to survive the next cycle.
But we, we are not forced to shed
We have the option of carrying that tight, dead weight
Until we are dead.
So pausing to honor your rattles comes from a place of strength
Slowing down to shed, to cry, to mourn is an act of self love
Honoring our own growth is power
But we have to choose to do it 🦀
