Questioning the Voice

**A simple, repeatable tool for testing whether a thought you've been carrying is actually true — or just familiar.** Last time, we talked about the sentences that run quietly in the background — "I should be further along by now," "it's selfish to want this," "I'm too old to start over." If you were in the room, maybe you caught yourself thinking one of those this week. This time, we go a step further: what do you actually do with it? We're back with *Take Back Your Brain* by Kara Loewentheil for a simple, four-question tool you can run any thought through — no journaling for hours, no forcing yourself into false positivity, just a clear way to tell fact from story and land on something more useful. You do not need to have been at the last session for this one to work. If this is your first time with The What's Next Circle, you'll get a chance to name your own sentence right alongside everyone else's — same room, same process, no catching up required. What to expect: * 90 minutes, small group, real conversation * No prep required — if you've got a "should" or a "too late" sitting in the back of your mind, that's all you need to bring * A tool you can actually use again on your own, long after tonight

Bad Girls Book Club October 2026

**Our October novel is: *The Drowning Kind* by Jennifer McMahon** **This month’s pick leans all the way into dark and creepy. Think ghosts, crime, and a heavy noir vibe—with plenty of suspense and supernatural twists mixed in. The book is 368 pages in print and 11 hours and 48 minutes on audiobook.** Be careful what you wish for. When Jax receives nine missed calls from her older sister, Lexie, she assumes that it’s just another one of her sister’s episodes. Manic and increasingly out of touch with reality, Lexie has pushed Jax away for over a year. But the next day, Lexie is dead: drowned in the pool at their grandmother’s estate. When Jax arrives at the house to go through her sister’s things, she learns that Lexie was researching the history of their family and the property. And as she dives deeper into the research herself, she discovers that the land holds a far darker past than she could have ever imagined. In 1929, thirty-seven-year-old newlywed Ethel Monroe hopes desperately for a baby. In an effort to distract her, her husband whisks her away on a trip to Vermont, where a natural spring is showcased by the newest and most modern hotel in the Northeast. Once there, Ethel learns that the water is rumored to grant wishes, never suspecting that the spring takes in equal measure to what it gives.
