Sonya's Patates Braavos: Edition #33 💌🥔

TLDR: Nordic + war resources

welcome 👋 

Hello, brave patates! 🥔 I just came back from 11 hours at Nordic Spa so let’s keep this short ❤️

melting pot / recommendations / stream of consciousness

• Nordic: it’s $94 for spa access (unlimited time) which is well worth it. Did you know it’s the biggest spa in North America? Their service is truly 5 stars, and all the food is delicious. For brunch, I had smoked salmon with capers and pickled onions served on latkes! If you go, try the Ritual experience at the Russian sauna (banya): the artisan skillfully infuses the air, uses a traditional venik (from birch branches) to wave the air personally around you, applies gentle pressure to your shoulders, and then showers you with a little ice water at the end. Highly recommend. Yes, there are lots of people in the spa on the weekend but somehow it doesn’t feel crowded and there’s space to spread out.

• Israel & Hezbollah: if you’re invested, @henmazzig (son of North African & Iraqi Jewish refugees) has a great explanation of who Nasrallah was and why this Saturday was a very big deal. If you’re into this topic, check out my latest post with Einat Wilf, too.

• Coaching: I’ve taken on my first paid client. After just the second session, where we go over the results from the metaprograms, OCEAN, and other tests, the client gains clarity into who they are and why they do what they do. It’s a joy to apply the theory in practice. I am thriving on the rigorous structure of the course. Every single session is outlined for clients, too. The specifics and the discipline are comforting and everybody knows what to expect.
