Hey Reader, I don't know about you, but it's been a bit of a downer lately. Back-to-back hurricanes. Election. A collection of all the other personal struggles that exist simultaneously within what's happening collectively. We're all connected. There's no doubt. As I listen to each clients' stories about these recent events, they're always framed within a specific flavor of other struggles: deaths, illnesses, school, relationships ending and beginning, questions of "What am I going to do with my life?"

I'm used to unplugging for an hour or more at a time. When I'm doing massage or coaching, I don't look at my phone. But outside of sessions, I'm just like everyone else. If I don't watch it, I'll waste all kinds of time on things that don’t matter. And with the news, I can start flirting with a panic attack. I don't want to live there. I'm all for being informed and taking action, but I'm also aware that unplugging from my device grounds me and increases my joy for my life. There's a power in...
The dust of the New Year is settling. Projects be project-ing. Tasks might be piling up. And what about that thing you said, "2025 will be the year I ..." If overwhelm is creeping in, make this one habit something you DID do in 2025: Never have more than 3 priorities. Seriously, Reader, this message made it to your inbox because it was one of my 3 priorities for today. (It works!) I start the day knowing what critical few things need my attention most, so at least those few things get done....
Kelly and I's latest project has been choosing the songs for our wedding dance party next month. 💃🏻🕺🏽 Not easy with so many songs to choose from! So we’ve been using the Tear Test. If the song’s intro or title makes one of us cry, it's clear YES. 👉This is also a great indicator of how to set goals for your life.
