Have you ever had one of those moments where you think, "ah yes, this is PURE genius!" And then a few years go by and you're like... 🤦‍♀️

That was me a couple years ago when I thought it was a really good idea to take not one, but literally two, pictures of myself with actual labels on my forehead. Like, printed, peel the paper off the back, stick them where they belong kind of labels.

ON 👏 MY 👏 FOREHEAD.👏

Not my finest moment, but perhaps one of the more important points that I've ever made. So important, in fact, that I went ahead and re-recorded a "coffee with Anne's thoughts" type of episode to talk more about it.
