Welcome to September, Fearless readers and writers.

We hope that you’ve been able to enjoy your summer months. We’ve been incredibly busy here at Fearless, and have some new updates to share with you.

Our editorial team has begun calling themselves “The Beat Up Crew.”

You may have noticed that we did not put out a newsletter last month. In the midst of everything happening in the world, as well as our own personal lives, time got away from us.

Once, in the span of 10 minutes on our group chat, we had discussed significant health issues, traumatic fights with family members, overworking 12-hour days, and more.

“We’re a pretty beat up crew,” we determined, and since then, the name has stuck. We use it lovingly and laughingly. Sometimes we include a hashtag.

You may also be part of The Beat Up Crew!

Do you:

Find yourself suffering from physical pains derived from physical illness or innate stress?
Notice that it’s been 12 hours since you last went to the restroom because you’ve been so focused on your work (family, children, life, etc.)?
Feel sudden bouts of anxiety at random times of the day (even when nothing is wrong), and think to yourself, “Oh, hello anxiety, I was wondering when you’d turn up.”
Think, “I should take a break,” and then proceed not to take a break?
Hobble through the day, with proverbial crutches and bandages, despite all of the above, and make it to the finish line?

Then we’d like to offer you dubious congratulations! You’re a member of The Beat Up Crew!

All joking aside, it’s been an incredibly hard and stressful year. We like to laugh about being The Beat Up Crew because, in the end, we know we’re going to be okay.

However, if you’re feeling stressed beyond the ability to joke, please reach out to those in your support system, and/or those of us in the Fearless Community. We’re all happy to lend an ear and our support for as long as this dumpster-fire of a year continues to burn.

We’ve launched Fearless merchandise!

We are now the proud owners of two Fearless merchandise stores.

At Teespring, you can purchase tees, tanks, sweats, and other apparel.

At Redbubble, you can purchase mugs, notebooks, stickers, and other home goods.

We are really excited about all of our products, and encourage you to check it out! The link beneath the picture below will bring you to our “Shop Merch” page on our website, and from there, you can determine which store you’d like to look through first.

The Fearless She Spoke podcast is in full swing!

We’re hosting a bi-weekly podcast that dives into discussions on feminism, mental health, and current events.

It can be found on Spotify, iTunes, or your other preferred podcast streaming site.

Additionally, by signing up for our Patreon, you’ll have access to one bonus podcast episode per month, as well as a chance at winning our Monthly Merch Draw.

As always, stay safe and healthy. Thank you for your love and support.
