Real Talk, Delivered. | Monthly Letter Club
One honest letter. One little something to keep. A tiny bit of good mail in a world full of bills and bullshit.
Remember when getting something in the mail felt exciting?
Not a bill. Not junk. Not another credit card offer.
Something meant for you.
Real Talk, Delivered. is a monthly letter club from Love & Recovery for people who appreciate honesty, second chances, inappropriate humor, beautiful paper, and the occasional well-placed swear word.
Once a month, I’ll sit down and write you a real letter.
About recovery. Starting over. The messy middle. The people who stay. The things we don’t always say out loud. And whatever else feels true that month.
Then I’ll tuck in a little something special and send it your way.
No algorithms. No doomscrolling. Just good mail.
WHAT’S IN THE ENVELOPE?
One honest letter from me, Rene.
A beautifully printed Real Talk letter—personal, funny, tender, imperfect, and true.
One exclusive little something to keep.
A numbered mini card, tiny art print, Pocket Pick-Me-Up, bookmark, or something else created especially for members.
And sometimes, a tiny surprise.
Maybe a sticker. Maybe a note to give away. Maybe something you didn’t know you needed that day.
The exact contents may change. That’s part of the fun.
THE FIRST LETTER
Letter No. 01 — The Card That Started It All
It begins on the road to San Diego.
With a voice note.
A few words I didn’t want to lose.
And the greeting card that eventually found its way into the hands of thousands of people celebrating recovery.
More than a decade later, I’m beginning again too.
And I want to tell you about it.
YOUR FIRST COLLECTIBLE
Tucked inside Letter No. 01:
YOUR LIFE IS A BIG DAMN DEAL.
Created exclusively for Real Talk, Delivered. and numbered:
Real Talk, Delivered. — No. 01
You won’t find it in the regular shop.
FOUNDING MEMBERS
The first 100 people to join will forever be known as our Founding Members.
And because you were here before we knew exactly what the hell we were doing, you’ll receive an exclusive founding-member piece:
I WAS HERE BEFORE THIS BECAME A BIG DAMN DEAL.
You’ll have earned it.
THIS ISN’T A SUBSCRIPTION BOX.
There will be no pile of random crap you feel guilty throwing away.
No filler.
No pressure to become a better version of yourself by next Tuesday.
Just one thoughtful envelope created with intention and sent with love.
Real Talk, Delivered. is for people in recovery. People who love someone in recovery. People starting over. People rebuilding. People in the messy middle. People who have been through some shit. People who still believe words matter.
You do not have to belong to any particular recovery program.
You do not have to have everything figured out.
You just have to be human.
Love,
Rene ❤️
Founder, Love & Recovery
