shakespeare at 3am

How about some Hamnet at 3am. Aka, Shakespeare at 3am.

Last night, as a 45 year-old mom will do, I woke up at 2 AM and couldn’t fall back asleep.

One of those nights where your brain just switches on - replaying conversations, thinking about things that aren’t even real problems. Instead of lying there spiraling, I decided to watch a movie. Something slow enough that it might knock me back out.

I ended up buying Hamnet, the Shakespeare-inspired film that’s been winning awards this year… and suddenly I’m wide awake at 3 AM watching this incredibly beautiful, emotional story unfold while my daughter sleeps beside me.

In this episode of Notes, I talk about insomnia, perimenopause sleep, crying during movies, motherhood, and the strange way a piece of art can pull you out of your own life and into something bigger.

Sometimes the most ordinary moment - like watching a movie alone at 3 AM, reminds you what actually matters.
