Welcome to the The Weekend Edit — a new Saturday morning ritual from The Good Trade. Each week, we’ll share a curated mix of soothing inspiration from our editors, along with a ranked list of the week’s most-read links. If you haven’t already, consider subscribing below to get access to today’s full edition and our upcoming virtual events.

Happy Saturday,

The moon is showing off this weekend — luminous and feminine. It reminds me that there’s power in softness, and wisdom in listening inward.

Lately I’ve been noticing how often I censor my own feelings, how I tell myself I’m not allowed to feel tired when life is full, or overwhelmed when most of what fills it is good. Sometimes I feel guilty slowing down in summer — a season that’s meant to be expansive and light.

For so many years (most of my life!) I’ve overridden the quiet signals from my body and spirit because they don’t fit the tempo of the moment. This week I’m practicing moving past what I think I should feel — and into what’s actually there into my honest core, my sensitive center.

So today’s themes are about claiming a cooling sense of stillness and gentleness — especially as the pace picks up and the heat is real.

💛 Today’s Weekend Edit Includes:
→ Our 10 most-clicked links, including a moving essay on choosing to be “one and done”
→ A recipe to soothe and satisfy (it’s summery and simple)
→ Our watchlist ranging from cozy Nancy Meyers films to steamy summer flings
→ Wisdom from Mary Oliver’s beloved dog (!!) and a tender sketch that stopped me in my scroll
→ The summer sale I’m eyeing

xx,
AmyAnn
