Back in May after it became clear the gyms weren’t opening any time soon, I started the #SarahConnor workouts for the lady subscribers to the Phetasy community in order to keep us sane and moving (and to make sure we were all in our strongest form for the forthcoming robot invasion).
Those workouts and women kept me from going crazy throughout the ups and downs of the lockdowns, riots and chaotic election. They were so popular another member of our tribe of the tribeless started their own class for the early risers and the men have started doing their own thing to keep moving and hold one another accountable.
I’ve been a loner my whole life but this community has showed me the importance of virtual and actual connections. I hope we continue to grow and support one another in becoming the best versions of ourselves into 2021.
Today we ladies started a 28-day challenge to get some momentum going and build some habits for the new year. It was great to see regulars and new women joining in. It’s never too late to join us — so if you’re feeling like you want to make some changes in your mentality, fitness and diet—jump in and let the group energy carry you. All you have to do is show up.
The time has come, Pham!! It’s officially the end of our Locals era. This means that starting now, all of our content will be centralized over at Substack and not Locals.
As you can probably see, my life is getting increasingly more bonkers, in the best possible way--but that means dividing my time between two subscriber platforms is no longer sustainable. Consolidating all of the Pham in one place will make it possible to give you more of the focused attention you deserve.
Don’t panic.
Locals is where it all began so the move is bittersweet. I have made lifelong friends here. We’ve done writing prompts together. Worked ...
Hello new followers, I hope I don’t disappoint you. I want this place to feel like home, where we can escape the Thunderdome and process the world. Where we can post dog pics and recipes and book recommendations. Where we support each other as we get sober, lose weight, embark on new business opportunities, creative endeavors, relationships and travels. I want this to be your oasis of sanity and laughter in an increasingly mad world. A creative outlet where you can share your spirit with us.
We might not have any control over the news cycle—but we can control our habits and attitude. It all starts with us. And hopefully a little piece of that will start here.
Pham, I know it’s late for some of us, but I haven’t had a song in my brain in a bit. So, here’s one of my favorite poems instead.
Poem of the Evening💙
“Come live with me and be my love.”

(Sorry for the delay on this prompt—life happened.)
The writing prompts are back! And since everyone is talking about "what is a woman?" I thought we should dig into our Factory Settings and find out what we learned about this stuff.
