Quick tip of the day

Breakups are sad, but they happen. If you’re splitting (or know someone who is), don’t forget to lock down your digital life. You don’t need an ex accessing accounts later. 

To start, make a list of shared accounts. (Struggling? Check your browser’s saved passwords.) One by one, sign out of each account on every device, then change your passwords.

  • Email: If your ex has your password, you logged in on their device or you shared an account or device, log out and change your password.
  • Banking or other financial sites: Set up a new online account with your new bank account.
  • Social media: Did you share your passwords or log in to Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter or other social media sites? Yes, change those passwords.
  • Cloud storage: This includes access to your Apple, Google Drive, Dropbox and online backup accounts.
  • Online shopping: Amazon is a must. Look through your last bank statements to remind yourself where else you have online accounts.

➡️ Head to my site for step-by-step instructions to remove anyone from your accounts.

I love my dog Abby, but I was making this mistake

Most of us think of our dogs as family members. In fact, Barry has joked about Abby being our daughter. (Just, you know, much furrier than a human daughter would be.) That's why I was shocked to find out we were making a common mistake that jeopardized Abby's health. Are you guilty, too?

Message to my younger self …

... You don’t have to take on the world alone. For almost five years, I cared for my Mom through her cancer journey. It was an honor, but it was hard. Looking back, I really should have made time to care for me.

I wish I had known about BetterHelp. It’s entirely online, which is so convenient and a lot easier to fit into your schedule than traditional in-office appointments.

You just fill out a brief questionnaire to get matched with a licensed therapist, and you can switch therapists at any time for no additional charge if it’s not a great fit.
