FINALLY got my flame emoji!! Comment below if you’re also a flamer!! 🔥 😂

Any practice you do or try to do everyday in order to feel better🤗? 💠I try to be still in silence and just notice my heartbeat and breathing. Just stay without needing to change it. Just stay with it for a while.

I've been watching short video edits of movies and I started to think. I haven't watched a full length movie for quite a while. The last one I watched was Rashomon by Akira Kurosawa. While short edits of films are entertaining and a fast way for me to digest a film, I also miss the deep immersive experience with a long film When was the last time you watched a full film without interruption? What was the last movie you watched? When was the last time you went to the cinema? @Cody Henkel let's go ⚡🐲

I just opened a note from June and literally did not recognize my own voice. Like, I had to scroll up to check if it was actually me who wrote it or if I'd accidentally copied something from someone's ChatGPT caption generator. Turns out? It was me. Just... performing someone else's version of what a "professional coach" should sound like. June-July was wild. I was in the thick of lithium adjustments, tracking symptoms on a spreadsheet like a little productivity goblin, thinking I was just documenting when I was actually in crisis. The hospital happened. Then I started using a journaling app instead of spreadsheets and something shifted. I began writing instead of logging. Feeling instead of measuring. But my content? Still sounded like it came off an assembly line. 126 posts. I counted them. And honestly? Any coach with a ChatGPT account could've written them. Same "if it's not X, it's Y" framing. Same movie trailer openers. Same three-point frameworks. Same vague pep talk endings that sound supportive but mean absolutely nothing. I was so busy trying to look like I had my shit together that I forgot the whole reason people were even finding me was because I didn't have my shit together. I was just honest about it. So I started pulling from my actual journal entries instead of trying to sound smart. Writing like I talk to my friends instead of like I'm giving a TED talk. Using my real messy moments instead of polished metaphors. Turns out when you stop performing and just... exist... people can actually feel you. My Skool community went from 6 people to 23 with 79% engagement in less than a month. Not because I cracked some algorithm. Because I stopped sounding like a caption machine and started sounding like a person who's also figuring this out. Messy healing is still healing. And apparently, messy content is still content. Who knew. 🤷‍♀️ Anyway if you're out here creating stuff and it feels like it could've been written by anyone, maybe that's your sign to write something that could only come from you. Even if it's weird. Especially if it's weird.

I was shocked when someone just told me that he never seen the pineapple apple pan!!!
