Hey you, This week flew by. Like… blink and it was Sunday. It was a week full of congestion, coughs, and me desperately trying not to lose my voice. Hot lemon water basically lived inside my Owala bottle all week. But even with the chaos of being slightly sick, work events and a packed schedule, there were a lot of little moments this week that reminded me what I’m really working toward. And that brings me to this month’s intention: Rhythm. Because the life I want only happens if my systems...

Hey you, I feel so grateful. This week felt like a transition week. Out of marathon mode. Out of stomach bug mode. Into healing, reflection and presence. One Thing to Think About This Week I’m 41. Ledger is almost 2. When he’s my age… I’ll be over 80. That thought doesn’t scare me. It motivates me. It makes doctor appointments feel important. It makes strength training matter. It makes healing instead of pushing through pain feel wise. I’ve been listening to Think and Grow Rich and one...

Hey you, You ever do something so big that it takes a few days for your brain to catch up? Yeah. Same. I ran a marathon on Sunday. Thirty thousand steps. Three thousand calories burned. Aggressive knee pain. Zero quitting. And somehow… it still doesn’t feel fully real. One Thing to Think About This Week It took me 41 years to believe I could run a marathon. Not because I wasn’t capable. But because I had built a ceiling over my own head. I thought marathons were for “real athletes.” For...

Hey you, This week felt like the last mile of a marathon. Messy. Emotional. Unexpected. And somehow… exactly what it needed to be. Let’s talk about it. One Thing to Think About The finish line isn’t always the best part. I went into this week nervous. Nervous about my knee. Nervous about pace. Nervous about whether I “lost time” during training. But somewhere between mile 16 — when the half marathoners peeled off and the streets got quieter — and the moment I saw my people screaming my name…...

Hey you, This week marks one full year of this newsletter. One year of showing up. One year of writing. One year of not missing a single post (even when life was going bananas, messy, exhausting or insane). This week especially had me zooming way out, on life, on time, on fear, on what actually matters. So let’s reset together. One Thing to Think About This Week I listened to a video this week that asked an important question: If you were going to die today or tomorrow… would you still be...

Hey you, January came in hot. Like “testing every system you thought was solid” kind of hot. Flu. Ice storms. Daycare closures. Travel. Early mornings. A knee that decided to speak up at the worst possible time. And yet… here we are. Fourteen days out from my first marathon. Still standing. Still trying. Still adjusting. This week was less about crushing goals and more about staying regulated, present and committed, even when the plan kept changing. One Thing to Think About This Week Progress...

Hey you, I’m writing this one from a week that asked for a little extra preparation, a little more patience and a lot of mental uhh flexibility. The kind of week where you don’t force productivity, but you support yourself through it. Let’s get into it. One Thing to Think About This Week Preparation isn’t fear. It’s care. This week reminded me that being prepared doesn’t mean you’re panicking, it means you’re paying attention. Whether it’s researching generators (cuz we did that), worrying...

Hey you, This week was a reminder that life doesn’t always follow the plan we set on January 1st. Sometimes you’re ready to go hard… and instead, you’re forced to slow way down. And least, that’s exactly what happened over here. One Thing to Think About This Week I had one of those quiet realizations while dropping Ledger off at daycare. The teachers were so excited to see him again after winter break. He was excited. And I realized, getting out of the house in the morning matters way more...

Hey you, This week was heavy. I thought it was going to be, “yay back to work I go”… but plans changed. Not in a dramatic way, just one of those weeks where everything stacks at once and there’s no room to fall apart. Yup… Let’s Reset One Thing to Think About This Week This week reminded me why systems matter most when life is loud. I did everything I could not to get sick. Vitamins, supplements, all the preventative things. Mads got the flu first. Then Ledger. And despite my best efforts… I...
