The Good Stuff - Vol. V
🌴 A summer read for your iced coffee break 🧊
Hi everyone,
I hope summer (or winter, depending on where you are) is treating you well! To me, this is being a work-themed kind of summer, but with great projects and clients, so I am absolutely not complaining.
Because of that, I have not been able to maintain the promised pace around here lately, as you have noticed. I value rhythm and constancy, but it has been especially challenging to keep all the plates spinning these days. I appreciate your understanding, and I’m working on exciting paid and free upcoming posts to catch up on different conversations.
Meanwhile, The Good Stuff series is back with all the things I’ve been enjoying lately. Yay. Grab your iced coffee, and go to town with all these links. If you want a soundtrack companion, here’s a fire playlist curated by the one and only Olivia Dean.

📚 Reading! One of the multiple books I am reading now (any other multi-readers out there? lol) is this one about the story of FC St. Pauli. So far, so good!
🇧🇷 The momentum of Seleção Feminina. We definitely did not see that silver medal coming, which made it even more special.
🥹 And these posts for Marta and Cristiane.
👋 Connecting with Substack people has been pretty amazing. I’ve met incredible fellow writers and football fans, and it’s very cool to cheer for the growth of others while doing our own thing. Reach out if you’re out here too!

🙏 Being blessed by the trinity of Pomodoro, Notion, and Google Drive during these work-packed days.
