TW FOR EMETOPHOBES, SKIP THIS POST

I used to take great pains to separate my “real life” from my “work life”. 

In 2016, even had one of those secret Facebook lists (Friends Except ____ ) so I could accept coworker friend requests, still post fun updates, and keep everyone safely in their assigned box. I went to check and that silly list is still there. Don’t worry, Alissa, Bill, Chris and Adam. My posts are shared with you now 🤦‍♀️. And I’m certain they have been since at least 2019!!

This morning, on Instagram (where I’m fun and funny, go follow me @saltgardner), I posted that I’m just crawling out of a horrific norovirus situation. Two of the big kids down, me down, and honestly I’m still dying a little. Just to set the stage, I’m friends with *everyone* on Instagram. No “work friends vs other friends” over there. 

The coolest thing happened: my community stepped up. Big time. Client and friend Dana Levin-Robinson handled a bunch of things last minute while checking in regularly and validating how awful norovirus is. Ugochi Owo  kept close tabs on me and helped me hydrate. The list of people who surrounded me with support is insane. I’ll try to tag everyone who dropped off Pedialyte, sent soup (omg Jessica Sager), checked in, or simply said “I see you.” Maggie Lord, Haley Bryant, Stephanie Cartin, Carrie Kerpen, Kathleen S., Amelia Whitman Weisbuch, and honestly many more. Thank you all. 

It was such a silly, human moment to post a pic of me in bed in pajamas and basically say the last 24 hours have been a shitshow (…sorry 🤣) and it reminded me how powerful it is to let people see the real stuff. We’re all just trying our best. We’re all 3 little meerkats in a trench coat with a ChatGPT subscription.

But really, we spend so much time trying to look like we have it together. And yet, every time I let the real parts show, my friendships strengthen, my network deepens, and the right people show up. Community doesn’t just make life easier, it makes business stronger. It’s why so many opportunities in my world have come from someone knowing the real me, not an edited version.

And honestly, that’s the heartbeat of The Continuity Co.: real humans supporting real humans, so founders can take time they actually need and still know that progress is happening. It’s not about pretending everything is perfect; it’s about building a community that steps in when life (or norovirus) inevitably happens.

Here’s to bringing our whole selves everywhere we go, from business to LinkedIn  to Instagram to the playground to wherever else you are. Be you. Imma keep being me. Jk I mean I plan to be myself!
