Hey friend,
How are you holding up out there in this heat? Is your AC keeping up? Are your kids eating you out of house and home? Have you lost count of how many popsicles you’ve handed out so far? Same, girl. Same.
I just wanted to check in on you—yes, you—and see how summer is treating you. I know it can be full of pool days and Amazon neck fans… but also chaos and Costco runs. So if you’re in the middle of both, just know: you’re not alone.
Now listen, I can’t give you all the details just yet (and it is killing me), but something exciting is coming. Something fun. Something new. Something that’ll make you laugh, nod your head, and say “It’s about time!” into your phone!!
You’ll want to stay close for this one. Watch your inbox and keep your eyes peeled on my social media. Especially over on Instagram—I’m always active in stories and showing life from my little corner of the world. Come hang out with me there if you haven’t already!

Also, TikTok has got me craving all the salads this summer (who even am I?!), and I’d love to know your favorite go-to summer salad. Is it something with watermelon and feta? Strawberries and spinach? Does it involve bacon? (Please let it involve bacon.) Hit reply and tell me—I want to try what you’re loving.
Stay cool, stay close, and stay curious.
Love y’all big,
Melissa
P.S.
I am always curious as to who reads all the way to the end of these emails, so if you are one of those good friends who read every last word, THANK YOU! Just for that, I’ll tell you the surprise: DAVID RADKE AND I ARE HEADING TO A PODCAST NEAR YOU! For years we did a morning show every morning called The Radke Show. That show is now coming to a podcast (and YouTube) where you can listen to us (or watch us) twice a week, every week. We talk, fight, laugh, fight, discuss and fight some more, all for your listening (or viewing) pleasure. We’ve had a ball filming and have no doubt - you’ll love it. Coming very soon!!
Salad. Fresh broccoli fresh cauliflower break into bite size pieces, black olives sliced, sharp cheddar cheese cut into bite size pieces, cooked bacon chopped up. Toss with a touch of ranch dressing. Chill and eat.
So glad to hear you and David are coming back!
Haven’t had any salads lately 🤷🏽♀️
