Empowering Women One Sip At A Time

Is Tipping Culture Out of Control

Hey, FABulous Reader!

Grab your mug; we’ve got a lot to catch up on this week!

If you missed our live broadcast of The Mamas and Coffee Show, you missed a wild ride. Grace and I sat down to dive into something we’re all experiencing lately: Tipping Culture Out of Control.

🚨 In Case You Missed It: The Tipping Culture Debate

I shared a story about getting a brand-new garage door installed and being asked on the checkout tablet to leave a tip on the entire bill, including the door itself!

We broke down:

• The awkward staring contest at the counter while trying to hit "No Tip" 👀
• Why tipping for convenience (like Walmart delivery) makes sense, but pre-tipping before your order arrives gets tricky 🚗
• Why automatic tips on $130 salad lunches are a step too far 🥗 & when was the last time you've eaten lettuce?
• BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: Why our Sip & Yap community events are officially 100% FREE again to bring women together, no tip required! ❤️ But you can Buy Us A Coffee to keep us fueled.

🧠 Stroke Talks: Virtual Mingle Monday Event

Friendships After Stroke — How They’ve Changed

After a life-altering health event like a stroke, your circle often shifts. Some people show up in ways you never expected, while others quietly fade away. It’s an uncomfortable, emotional, and very real part of recovery that people rarely talk about out loud.

Join me this Monday for our virtual Stroke Talks Mingle as we create a safe, judgment-free space to open up about:

• Navigating lost connections vs. finding your true "Strokie" community
• Dealing with social fatigue and explaining invisible symptoms to friends
• Rebuilding a supportive circle in this season of recovery

Whether you're a stroke survivor, caregiver, or loved one walking the path alongside a warrior, your story and feelings belong here.

🗓️ When: This Monday, July 27th, 1 PM - 2 PM ET

📍 Where: Virtual via Zoom

🎟️ Cost: FREE

🛍️ Quick Perk Alert!

Our brand-new Mamas and Coffee merch is officially LIVE! From our clear tumblers to our travel mugs, you can now sip your daily brew in style while supporting our show.

You Deserve a Round of Applause (Even If You’re Having a Hot Mess Day) There are days when I feel like I have it all together. And then there are days that remind me I am, in fact, just a regular human trying to figure things out as I go. Read the Blog HERE
