You’re allowed to want more

Hey Reader, This past weekend, I was down in the Florida Keys, surviving on almost no sleep, eating burgers at 1 a.m., and pacing my boyfriend through part of a 100-mile ultramarathon. And if you read that first sentence, you probably first thought I was partying all weekend, LOL. Far from it. My boyfriend just completed his first 100-mile race: the Keys100. And honestly? Even being part of it as a pacer was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done physically and mentally… and I wasn’t even...

Your brain believes repetition

Hey Reader, We all experience preconceived notions, limiting beliefs, disempowering thought patterns, and failures. The issue is when these become our roadblocks, and many times, the 'excuses' we use to not try something. Often, we treat these things as permanent in our lives. And until we realize that they're not fixed things and that we can therefore change them, nothing can change. That's why today I want to tell you about the concept of neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity is the brain’s...

What makes the better story?

Hey Reader, This is going to be a short one. I recently saw a question that helps you make decisions when you feel paralyzed by them. When you're considering big (or small) decisions, a simple question you can ask yourself is: "What would make the story better?" Or even, "What story would be the one I would want to tell?" Looking at the big picture, if you considered yourself the main character in a book or a movie, what is the storyline you would want to read or watch? What is the plot that...

It's never the "right time"

Hey Reader, Quick question: have you ever waited for the perfect moment… and it never came? As you’re reading this, I’m driving up to Atlanta from Florida to go see the Let Them show by Mel Robbins tonight. It’s… not ideal timing. We’re driving 8 hours today, going to the show tonight, and driving back first thing tomorrow morning. And honestly? That’s exactly how most of the things we want in life show up. At the worst timing.When it feels like a thousand other things are happening.When life...

Time is a tool. Use it.

Hey Reader, I have to be honest, this past week I listened to an audiobook about time that completely changed how I see it. All my life, I have been at war with time. I always felt I was behind, late, or that I didn't have enough time to do things. I had always seen time as this restrictive constraint that was against me. Now, this is funny because the audiobook I've been listening to is called "Time is a Tool", by Dr. Benjamin Hardy and Blake Erickson, and it talks about how you can use the...

Just make the coffee

Good morning Reader, As you start your day, drink your morning coffee, and get through your Sunday routine, I want you to sit for a moment with this one question: How badly do you want change? Not the dramatic 'overhaul your life, take everything out, and move to Bali' kind of change either. But the quieter one. The one where you know there are many things you want to do and experience, you have many dreams and goals you want to accomplish, you have many relationships you want to build or...

90-Days Reset & Reflection- Life Audit

Hey Reader, Whether you’re celebrating Easter today or simply moving through a slower Sunday, I hope this gives you a little space to pause and come back to yourself. We’ve officially completed the first 90 days of 2026. And if I’m being honest, the past couple of weeks, and even the past couple of months, have felt heavy for me. Not in a dramatic, "everything-is-falling-apart" way.But in that quieter way, anxiety often shows up when you’ve been carrying and worrying about too much for too...

The things you don't control

Hey Reader, Have you ever been made to feel responsible for something that was never yours to carry? Have you ever felt like something was your responsibility… even when it wasn’t? Like you should fix it, respond to it, or carry it… just because someone else expects you to? This past week, my sister got a message from someone she didn't know, complaining about an issue she had nothing to do with, and saying that she was responsible for helping him because if she didn't help, it meant she was...

You Become What You Do

Hey Reader, Last week, I shared how easy it is to keep waiting until you feel ready. And how that moment… it never really comes. But here’s the part we don’t talk about enough: What actually happens after you actually make a decision and take action. Because it’s not just about the result or about the outcomes you get. It’s about what shifts internally. It's about who you become. What I have realized more and more lately is this: 👉 You become what you do. You don’t do what you become. And I...

The quiet cost of waiting

Hey Reader, Have you ever been described in one way and thought to yourself, "Really, people see me like that?" Just yesterday, I was talking with my sister, and she mentioned that everyone always tells her about how peculiar her sister (aka, me) is and that she never takes it the wrong way because she already knows I'm peculiar. She has always said, in her words, that "I live in Jennyland", so I guess it doesn't really come as a total surprise that she finds me peculiar. At the moment, I...
