Hey friend,

​

We’re officially in April (what?!), and this week felt like one big reminder that change isn’t something you wait for—it’s something you live through.

From waking up early to make space for growth, to deep conversations that cracked something open… this week was full of that quiet, powerful momentum we often overlook. I wanted to bring that energy into your inbox—something honest, something grounding, and something that reminds you just how capable you really are.

Let’s dive in. 👇

​

One Thing to Think About This Week

We recorded a nearly two-hour podcast this week—me, Mike, and our friend Sky hosting—and honestly, it felt like we were just getting started. The conversation was raw, real, and full of transformation.

We talked about what it means to truly surrender to growth. To stop fighting the old version of yourself and step fully into the person you’re becoming. The one who’s open. Ready. Willing to take life by the horns and actually live it.

If you’re in a season where you’re questioning everything, or you feel like you’re constantly trying to find your footing—this episode will hit. It’s a reminder that transformation isn’t always flashy, but it is always powerful.

​

Celebrate Your Wins

This week was packed with moments that felt like forward motion: new gym upgrades (finally), milestone memories, real conversations, and consistency. I’m still going strong on my 90-day challenge, and one morning I even woke up at 4:45 a.m. just to journal and get my workout in so Mads could get hers in by 6. That’s teamwork. That’s commitment. That’s growth.

Productivity Hack of the Week

Own the early hours—just one.

You don’t need a 5 a.m. club membership to win the day. But if you can steal even 30–60 minutes before the world needs you, it makes a huge difference. Journal, workout, breathe—whatever gets you in motion. The quiet will carry you.

What I’m Into This Week

YouTube: Hal Elrod - I sent this to a client and wanted to share with you all. His story and creation of The Miracle Morning will change your life if you allow it to.

Book: Can’t Hurt Me by David Goggins - Grit, truth, and that tough love voice in your head that says “keep going.”

App: 5 Minute Journal App - Quick, intentional journaling that actually sticks. Great for early mornings or end-of-day reflection. It’s a to go version of the physical journal I shared previously.

​

Life Snapshot

Ledger is 11 months old and almost walking—he’s so curious and determined, it blows me away. We took his milestone photos, and he’s getting heavier by the day (seriously, my arms are toast).

The garage is finally being tackled. The gym setup is almost done… Why do I think I love painting? I don’t. And life feels a little more aligned—still chaotic, but aligned.

​

One Last Thing

Transformation doesn’t require a big bang moment. Sometimes, it’s a slow burn. A morning you wake up early for someone else. A podcast where you share what’s real. A journal entry that clears the fog.

You don’t have to have it all figured out to start becoming who you’re meant to be. You do have to start though.

Keep showing up. You're doing better than you think.

​

Fun P.S.

Ledger is so close to walking. He’s standing up and balancing now…. before he falls and quickly bounces back up. I don’t know whether to cry, celebrate, or start baby-proofing everything again.
