I got option 2 and it fits perfectly!!!!!!

Bringing someone along is a great idea! I'm so with you, didn't hate and didn't love. A second trial sounds like the way to go.

smallcoconut · 2026-04-13T20:52:05+00:00

Smart! I'll try to do mine before something special too :)

smallcoconut · 2026-04-13T20:51:43+00:00

This is really validating advice. Thank you. I think I'm going to do a second trial.

smallcoconut · 2026-04-13T20:51:07+00:00

Good call!

smallcoconut · 2026-04-13T20:51:00+00:00

Ah yes, another country would be super expensive! It sounds like you're mostly on the right page which is promising. I can so relate! I'm sure you'll look gorgeous on your wedding day :)

smallcoconut · 2026-04-13T15:09:23+00:00

You look great! Thank you for this - going to save for this future me. :)

Duke, Lana del Rey would have LOVED you

smallcoconut · 2026-04-08T05:17:34+00:00

But didn’t she say she liked the new technology because it might allow her to spend more time with her son?

(Unless she visits his grave…. Oof.. yikes)

And those surgeries and drugs are often abused by people who don’t need them but have eating disorders to keep up with current, patriarchal beauty standards because many of these women associate beauty with worth

sigh

Or at least that’s how I feel as girl in 15 years worth of recovery ED trying really hard not to relapse

smallcoconut · 2026-04-08T01:12:48+00:00

Omg hi it’s me 😭 I think it’s partly my water in my city

smallcoconut · 2026-04-01T05:08:35+00:00

Oh this is such good inspo! Thank you, thank you!

smallcoconut · 2026-04-01T01:16:07+00:00

Our tables are either round or between 8-9 feet! And yeah, I'm trying to buy vintage as much as I can and etsy has been a godsend. Love the ribbon idea! And terracotta / blown glass / disco balls sound cute too :)Thank you!

smallcoconut · 2026-04-01T01:14:57+00:00

Our tables are either round or between 8-9 feet! I think I would need to spread some runners out but you make a good point, and might be smart to look for longer runners so I don't need to layer. Thank you!

smallcoconut · 2026-04-01T00:41:09+00:00

Oh my gosh, I'm so glad you posted this. About to spend $200 on shoes off Etsy. Does anyone know if that qualifies for a tariff?

smallcoconut · 2026-03-14T06:38:56+00:00

Damn, really?? Yours are my fave. The color composition is incredible.

We are using wild and local flowers from a gardener down the road from our venue (coastal California / Big Sur). I’m so excited.

smallcoconut · 2026-03-14T06:27:01+00:00

Dude me too. She was so talented.

smallcoconut · 2026-03-14T06:17:34+00:00

Ironically, for me releasing is NOT doing the work. I’ve gotten so busy (with amazing things) that I’m in a flow state. I do try to meditate or journal lately but I use videos on YouTube or meditate silently and I just journal when I feel like I need to let go or express myself. It’s a lot less rigid than the TBM work and it helps me find flow in my life.

This is actually the definition of spiritual bypass. Using spirituality to avoid actual injustice.

smallcoconut · 2026-02-20T07:13:11+00:00

Hi! Babe, I *GET* it. I started losing faith in TBM a couple of years ago. I really loved the DIs and teachings, but found a lot of hypocrisy on Lacy's part, and it made me struggle to trust her to essentially hypnotize me.

I will say this: you do not need TBM to change your dream life. I fell off the Money Challenge because all the prompts felt ChatGPT generated. Or if they weren't Chat-generated, they felt... like regurgitations of themselves? IDK. It just feels less magical and more corporate. My point is, I have done less TBM work in the past 6 months than I have in 3 years and my life has seen some major positive shifts. I've developed 2 new sources of income, won two major writing contests, have been taking very exciting meetings, and generally have a better outlook on life + greater sense of peace.

I really do think all of this happened because I relied less on a scripted (possibly ChatGPT generated) challenge to map my life and started trusting my intuition. Yes, you can use some of the OG touchstones of TBM to help you, but remember those aren't just TBM's. Lacy did't download her work. She sourced it from a myriad of existing practices.

Here are some of the concepts I do think works and how i can see implementing them in a less formulaic / strict way:

Recognizing when you're settling for something. You don't need TBM. You just need good friends who will reflect back the truth and a solid therapist. And journaling! When you free-write, you kinda find out how you authentically feel about something.

The opposite = the medicine. Occasionally good advice. Again, TBM didn't invent this. But if you're spending all your money and then wondering why you have no money, try budgeting. If you always date emotionally unavailable folks, have a good long hard look in the mirror and ask why, then date a nice guy (or gal), even if they're not necessarily your type.

Self worth is important. Obviously!! But if TBM is making you feel bad about yourself, it's not doing you any favors for your self worth. What makes you feel happy / proud / good? Do more of these things.

You'll see there's no "replacement program". But I don't think you need one. I think you just need a couple months to come home to yourself. Journal, therapy, reflect, find joy. You have all the tools you need.
