Hey you —

Somehow it’s Sunday again. These days come fast, don’t they? I love Sundays because they’re built for exactly this: rest, reflection, and a reset. A slow morning with the fam. Making chores fun. Letting the house breathe again. Sitting down to write this newsletter and look back at the journey I just lived.

This part never gets old for me. I get to revisit what worked, what didn’t, what tools supported me, what content inspired me, and what moments mattered most. It’s a gift and I don’t take it lightly. 2026 feels close, but ummm? The last time I felt this dialed in was 2020… and well, we all know how that year went. What I do know is that we survived, we grew, and my relationship with Madison deepened in ways I’ll always be grateful for.

One Thing to Think About This Week

This week, one idea kept coming back to me — something James Clear shared about decision-making. He talks about decisions like hats, haircuts, and tattoos. A hat is easy. Try it on. Take it off. No big deal. A haircut takes a little more thought because you live with it for a bit. A tattoo? That’s permanent. That deserves real consideration.

So many of us treat tiny decisions like tattoos. We overthink posting something, starting something, trying something, when most of the time… it’s just a hat. Try it. Learn from it. Adjust. It’s not failure, it’s information. That reframe has been freeing for me, especially with content, creativity, and career moves.

​

Celebrate Your Wins

• I ran 14 miles around Lady Bird Lake — my first “half marathon plus some.” Windy, exhausting, humbling and incredibly empowering.
• I showed up even when I was tired — after Ledger went down for a nap, after a long week, after my legs begged me to stop.
• I’ve stayed consistent with my Miracle Morning, even on days I didn’t pop out of bed at 5am. Progress over perfection.
• Madison and I both made it to Ledger’s daycare performance, a reminder of how grateful I am for a career that lets me show up for my family.

​
Productivity Hack of the Week

I’m deep back in my systems era — and loving it. A few things working really well right now:

• ​Raindrop for saving content, links, ideas, and inspiration so nothing gets lost.
• Turning emails into Google Tasks instead of leaving them unread (no more red notification anxiety).
• A simple “dump it here” task app to get things out of my head without interrupting my day. The goal isn’t perfection — it’s mental clarity. When your brain isn’t holding everything, you show up better everywhere else.

​

What I’m Into This Week

• ​Music: Lost in Lofi — the calmest, most focused vibes I’ve found in a
• ​YouTube: “Break Any Habit in 10 Minutes” — a simple reminder that change doesn’t have to be dramatic to be effective.
• ​Apps: Recall.ai, Raindrop, and anything that helps me actually do something with the content I consume.

​
Life Snapshot

• Another trip to our favorite food truck park — windy but still magical. Ledger made us climb into the tiny playhouse together. No regrets.
• Celebrated a friends birthday with friends, music, kids playing and Ledger fully mesmerized by live guitar.
• A late night, an overtired baby and one of those moments where parenting is exhausting and beautiful all at once.
• Locking myself in an office at work with intention — knocking out 20+ action items and leaving feeling proud and clear-headed.

​

One Last Thing

This week reminded me of something important: coaches don’t have to be perfect to help. Teachers still learn. Athletes still have coaches. Growth doesn’t require you to have it all figured out — it requires you to keep showing up.

I’m proud of myself for showing up. For running into the wind. For recommitting to the things that matter. For remembering that even when life isn’t perfect, I still have something valuable to offer.

What are we thinking?

I got this. And if you’re reading this — you probably do too.
​
​Closing

If this week stirred something in you — try the thing. Post it. Start it. Adjust later. Most decisions are hats, not tattoos. Rest today. Reflect honestly. Reset with intention. I’ll be right here doing the same.

Let’s just enjoy this. 💛

​I invite you to follow me on YouTube where I go deeper into these things and share my life.
