What if showing up messy… was the whole point?

What if showing up messy… was the whole point?

Let me say the quiet part out loud: You don’t need to be “on fire” every day to be doing something meaningful with your life. Some days, you’re in full flow, crushing tasks, sipping your coffee, feeling unstoppable.Other days? You’re staring at the ceiling wondering if it’s too early to quit everything and move to…

I Thought I Had to Have It All Figured Out… Then I Let Go of the Map

I Thought I Had to Have It All Figured Out… Then I Let Go of the Map

For years, I clung to “the plan.”The spreadsheet.The 5-year vision board.The version of success that looked just right on paper. I thought clarity came from control.I thought peace came from predictability.I thought confidence came from knowing exactly where I was going. Spoiler alert: they didn’t. The more I tried to nail it down, the more…

Feeling stuck? It’s not a motivation issue, it’s an identity crisis.

Feeling stuck? It’s not a motivation issue, it’s an identity crisis.

It’s not your calendar.Not your “strategy”.Not your kids, your partner, or whatever Mercury’s doing this week. You’re stuck because some part of you is still waiting.For permission?For proof?For a sign that it’s finally okay to go full throttle on the life you actually want. Spoiler: That sign’s not coming.Because the truth?You’ve already outgrown the version…

If It Doesn’t Set Your Soul on Fire, Why Are You Still Doing It?

Let’s talk about that routine of yours.You know, the one that looks good on paper but feels like slow soul erosion in real time? Wake up, scroll, rush, caffeinate, people-please, overcommit, crash, repeat.Who made this the blueprint? If the way you’re living feels more like a checklist than a choice… it’s time to ask: what…

Your Next Move Doesn’t Need a Permission Slip

You didn’t come this far just to stand still at the door, right? Your next chapter isn’t waiting for permission. You’re not stuck.You’re just standing there, holding the pen, waiting for someone to nod. Newsflash: no one’s coming to hand you the script.You write it.You live it.You own it.

Overthinking… Fear in a Nicer Outfit

Overthinking… Fear in a Nicer Outfit

You’re not overthinking, it’s just fear in a nicer outfit. Let’s call it what it is. That loop in your head?The planning, the researching, the waiting for the perfect time? It’s fear… dressing up as productivity.It’s perfectionism… pretending it’s just “being thorough.”It’s self-doubt… wearing the mask of logic. Here’s the truth:You don’t need more time….

What do productivity and your sock drawer have in common?

What do productivity and your sock drawer have in common?

What do productivity and your sock drawer have in common?Way more than you’d think and no, it’s not just that both are usually a hot mess. Real talk:80% of people feel steamrolled by their to-do lists.It’s like juggling knives on a tightrope… blindfolded… while someone yells “just work smarter!” Spoiler: You don’t need more hacks…

“I’m fine” is just code for “I gave up.”

“I’m fine” is just code for “I gave up.”

It’s the polite way of saying: I’ve lowered the bar.Settled for just-getting-by.Made peace with the bare minimum and called it self-care. Spoiler: It’s not. “Fine” is the emotional equivalent of eating plain toast when you know damn well there’s avocado and hot sauce in the fridge.It’s tolerating a job that drains you.A relationship that bores…
