People often ask us what our favorite part of performing is.

It's not the applause.
It's not the bookings.

It's the moments in between.

The couple dancing in the grocery store.
The friends singing along.
The stranger who tells us a song brought back a memory they hadn't thought about in years.

This week we get five opportunities to create those moments.

We can't wait to share them with you. πŸŽ€πŸŽ·πŸŽΆπŸ’™

No Sunday Reset: Live From the Bubble Tonight πŸ’™

I've been under the weather the last couple of days and need to take tonight to rest and recover, so there will be no Sunday Reset: Live From the Bubble this evening.

Thank you for always showing up, sharing your hearts, and making this little corner of the internet such a special place. Sometimes the best reset is listening to your body and giving yourself permission to slow down.

We'll be back soon. Until then, take care of yourselves, protect your bubble, and do something kind for yourself tonight.

Much love,
Laura πŸ’™πŸŽΆ
