The Sunday Reset: Rewiring Your Brain (And Avoiding Stubbed Toes)


Hey hey,

Welcome back to The Sunday Reset—where we reflect, reset, and gear up for another week of progress.

This week, I did something wild (okay, maybe not wild, but definitely nerve-wracking). In my neuroplasticity course, there was an exercise to move around my house with my eyes closed. Sounds simple, right? Nope. It was WAY scarier than I expected.

The fear of stubbing my toe or crashing into a wall was REAL. But it got me thinking—how often do we move through life without truly seeing where we’re going? How much do we rely on what’s comfortable? Try it. Seriously.

Let me know if you make it across the room without flinching.

Celebrate Your Wins

Big or small, every win matters.

✅ I scheduled my workouts… did I do them all? Nope. But I stuck with mobility, which is something!

✅ I let go of my 10,000 steps goal and—surprise—when I stopped tracking, I stopped hitting it. Out of sight, out of mind is a real thing. Time to kick it back into gear.

✅ Ledger had his “aunts” Katie and Julie over. We cooked, played all the games, and after he went to bed, we sat with our feet in the hot tub for deep convos. What's that? Did I get in? Yes! I got ALL the way in. Cuz duh!

What’s one thing YOU did this week that deserves a little love?

Productivity Hack of the Week

I used the calendar function on the TickTick app to schedule my tasks for the day. At first, it looked overwhelming—10+ small tasks. But breaking them up made a HUGE difference.

Example: While warming up my lunch, I shocked the pool. Instead of letting my to-dos pile up, I worked them into my natural breaks. Game-changer.

If you struggle with feeling like time disappears, try micro-tasking during your breaks.

What I’m Into This Week

📚 Learning: I’m diving into a Neuroplasticity course on Udemy—because the brain is wild and I want to continue to learn and rewire mine for success. Check it out here.

📱 App: TickTick—if you haven’t tried it yet, DO IT. It’s got a habit tracker + Pomodoro timer built in. Literally a game-changer.

🎙️ Podcast: Mel Robbins’ 7-Day Reset—super practical, no fluff, and worth a listen. Watch it here.

Life Snapshot

  • Ledger had some tummy trouble this week, so we had a few rough nights. Sleep training? More like sleep guessing at this point.
  • We prepped the yard and blessed our backyard with flowers and plants for Spring—finally! Nothing like checking off those seasonal tasks to feel like an adult.
  • Mads and I had a quick date night while Katie powered through an interesting evening with Ledger. Bless her heart for watching him so we could sneak out for a bit.

One Last Thing

I know I always say this, but when you reply to these emails, it truly makes my day. I love hearing from you. Let me know:

  • What’s one thing you’re celebrating this week?
  • Have you ever tried walking around your house with your eyes closed? (10/10 do not recommend unless you like living on the edge.)
  • What’s a tool or trick that’s making your life easier right now?

Also—if you’re feeling generous, I’m sharing Brittany’s GoFundMe again. If you’re up for spreading some kindness, check it out.

Here’s to another week of progress! 🎉
