📰 In the news
Insights for parenting choices: ABA in Miami’s first episode, with Lotus Behavioral Therapy’s Karelix Alicea and Mariam Nawabi, discusses three parent questions about ABA for children with autism to guide families in South Florida — see what to expect.
Fans powering medical breakthroughs: The Dolphins Cancer Challenge has surpassed $100 million raised, powering cancer research and care at Miami’s Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center and cementing the NFL’s largest fundraiser in South Florida — see the impact and reach.
Big move signals new era: Summit Networks is relocating its executive headquarters to Miami as part of a board approved restructuring. The move aims to align operations with U.S. and Canadian compliance rules — see what’s behind the move.
Nothing prepares you for a pet emergency: I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache. As soon as we got home, I signed up for Spot. It’s super affordable – and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.
Compare rates for free: The national average for car insurance is around $175/month. Paying more than that? Same, so I did some shopping around and ended up cutting my premium in half. If you haven’t checked in a while, you’re probably overpaying too — here’s the comparison tool I used.

🏆 Gold and silver are heating up
Together with our sponsor American Hartford Gold
Gold just posted its strongest run in decades… and the momentum is carrying into 2026. Silver has become one of the most talked-about assets as investors look for ways to stay ahead of market volatility.
While many are still sitting on the sidelines, others are quietly repositioning.
If you’re wondering whether you’re missing something, AHG has a free guide explaining what’s driving the renewed interest… and how investors are approaching precious metals right now.
It’s free and worth reading before the next move.

🫶 We got your back
Handmade pasta fix: When the rigatoni at home feels meh, Macchialina delivers handmade pastas, rustic Italian cooking, and a low-key vibe that turns Tuesday into a tiny celebration. Real dough, rolled by real people, means carb cravings get the respect they deserve, without the fuss of your pantry.
Vintage fix, no digging: Family-run since the mid-’80s, Miami Twice curates authenticated vintage fashion, jewelry, shoes, and designer handbags, making it easy to discover a one-off without doomscrolling. Expect decades of style and pieces that feel like stories, not just more swipes.
Cold therapy, upgraded: Whether you’re shaking off a long run or chasing deeper sleep, The KOV Cryotherapy in Upper Buena Vista offers whole body and targeted cryo, plus infrared sauna and pressotherapy. A refined, quiet setting turns recovery into something you’ll look forward to… simple, focused, effective.
Thinning hair? It only gets worse: A few months ago, I noticed my ponytail getting thinner. I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, etc.) but mostly just hoped it would fix itself… until I learned that active follicles can permanently go dormant if you don’t do something about it. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Learn more about my favorite online options here.

Someone Googled you this week 👀
It may feel like an invasion of privacy, but unfortunately It’s the new normal. Whether you’re joining a committee, selling something locally, dating again, or just meeting new neighbors… people are going to look you up online.
Like it or not, the internet has a way of surfacing past mistakes and outdated information that no longer reflects who you are.
Thankfully, there’s a really easy way for you – or someone you care about – to clean up outdated results that no longer tell the real story. Learn more here.
