Hey Reader, Can I be honest with you? A few days ago, I was talking with my sister about our goals for the year and what we wanted to accomplish, and we started discussing how easy it is to feel stuck and discouraged if you believe you're never going to be able to do them. And the truth is that for many years, that was me. I would have all these New Year's resolutions (get fit and be more active, run a marathon, get in a long-term romantic relationship, fall in love, put myself out there and...

Hello Reader, Yesterday, after taking a run along the beach, I saw two older guys walking that I assumed were brothers because of how similar they looked. They looked, for lack of a better word, sad. The slow, unmotivated, slumped walking kind of sad. Just looking at them reminded me of something I heard Tony Robbins say in a podcast interview this past week. He was saying that when we have goals, and we want to accomplish something new or different from what we have done before, most people...

Mindset tools and practices to help you overcome self-doubt and start taking action on all those risks you have been avoiding to create a life you love every day. Hey Reader, When I say I'm a mindset coach, I know that many people struggle to understand what that truly means. For instance, anytime I'm talking on the phone with my sister, if I start to give her any advice or give her my opinion about a situation, she always responds with, "Don't give me coaching." But the thing is that...

Hey Reader, There’s something about the beginning of a new year that always feels like standing in front of a blank page for me. There’s excitement. There’s a possibility. There's a "newness" in the air. But sometimes, there’s also pressure, pressure to reinvent ourselves overnight or to “finally become” the person we think we should already be. This year, instead of chasing urgency or thinking about what I "should" have been or done by now, I’ve been asking myself different questions: "What...

Hey Reader, I hope you and your friends, loved ones, and family had a beautiful Holiday Season this year. Wherever you're reading this today and wherever you feel like you're in life, I hope you’re able to slow down and take some time to rest and to reflect on the things you want to experience next in 2026. I spent the past Christmas week on Anna Maria Island, FL, with family. The week honestly felt 'perfect' in that relaxing way, where you allow yourself to just be, without having many...

Hey Reader, Today, I finally did my first full marathon at the Palm Beaches Marathon. I had already told you before in previous emails how I have been training to run my first marathon, but the truth is that I hadn't registered for this race until this past Wednesday because I wasn't sure that I would be "ready" for it. I kept thinking that maybe I should push it back a bit and run the Fort Lauderdale or Stuart Marathon early next year if I didn't feel ready to run this weekend. It was not a...

Hey Reader, We're getting to that time of the year when I start thinking about the new year and the things I want to focus on during the coming year. In previous years, I used to make a lot of New Year's resolutions that I would be very excited about the very first days and weeks at the beginning of each year, and then quickly forget and feel bad when, at the end of the year, I hadn't done half of the stuff I had said I wanted to do that year. Now, I focus more on the intentions I have for...

Hey Reader, Yesterday, I went on a long run that honestly tested my willpower to keep going. During the run, I asked myself multiple times why I was doing that to myself. For a while, my mind sounded something along the lines of, "Why am I doing something that feels so uncomfortable and painful at times?" "Why am I putting myself through this?" "Why not just stop?" "What is the point of this?" And so, for a while, my mind was only focused on the pain, on the negative aspects of running, and...

Hey Reader, This week I’ve been reflecting on something… and honestly, it hit me harder than I expected. It was one of those moments where you finally see something you’ve been ignoring for, well, for longer than you want to admit. It started with something simple, too. You know those moments when you're checking your bank statements, only to find a random subscription quietly charging you every single month? Yes, I had that exact moment happen this past week. $12.50/monthly for a meditation...
