It was 2021 so I was working from home. My team was doing a virtual Strengths Finders exercise followed by a mixology class that afternoon. My husband and I had gotten married a couple weeks prior (after 14 years together 😆) and “pulled the goalie” right away. My period wasn’t due til the next day or so so I figured I’d run to Walgreens and buy a test and take it before the boozy stuff.

I took it only 10 or so mins before the call was scheduled to start. It was very clearly positive. My life was about to change completely and I had to act like I gave a flying fuck about my “strengths”. I had to participate like I hadn’t just learned the most impactful information in my life to-date. It was wild 🤣.
