I’ve been paying closer attention to the moments when my life feels most aligned not perfect, not polished, just true. It’s interesting how alignment rarely comes from big achievements. More often, it shows up in the small choices: the way we start our mornings, the people we give our energy to, the boundaries we honor, the creativity we allow ourselves to explore. I’m realizing that lifestyle isn’t just about what we do. It’s about what we allow, what we release, and what we return to when things get noisy. I’m curious to hear from this community: What’s one thing you’ve added or removed from your life this year that’s helped you feel more aligned? Let’s learn from each other’s shifts.

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about how small, intentional choices shape the bigger picture of our lives. Not the dramatic reinventions or the big “new year, new me” moments but the quiet, consistent shifts that build momentum over time. For me, it’s been about choosing presence over autopilot, connection over isolation, and creativity over perfection. Every day I’m learning that lifestyle isn’t something we stumble into; it’s something we design with care, curiosity, and community. I’d love to hear from this group: What’s one small habit or mindset shift that’s been making a meaningful difference in your life lately? Let’s inspire each other.

What if giving away free stuff works better than running ads? Last month we tested it at Venice Beach. Gave away skateboards and meals to people experiencing homelessness. Just to see. The people who came with us walked away talking about: ❤️ Clarity and the "give first" energetic ❤️ Unfathomable ROI (you can't measure it, but you feel it) ❤️ Reconnecting to living bigger than yourself ❤️ Contribution > consumption Pretty cool. We're calling it Giving Games and we're trying to inspire $1 billion in giving over the next three years. (Sounds crazy but we're doing it anyway lol.) Made a video about the whole thing. Comment "GIVE" if this resonates and when we create the Giving Games Playbook we will send it to you so you can add this into your biz Dan @Alexander VandeLaar @Bc Serna @Whitstagram Hancock @Matthew Thompson @Luke Gilbert @Kevin Lee @Madhuri Pura Dasa @Tina Roach @Auroara Leigh

The past months I have been learning, building, tweaking, learning some more, getting feeback, start funnels… getting stuck, shifting focus, trying a thing or two, looking for something to finally click. And then it did. By joining the Ai Filmmaking Community and this one almost at the same time, I realised I wanted to have my offer based on communities and getting it off the ground and growing with ads. I just redid my About page of the Village - my community to help moms with young kids to find their balance, identity and calm - with practical support tools and an AI buddy. (For theones who are curious: https://www.skool.com/the-village-by-mumbuddy-1386/about) Now I am doing the work on my client avatars - I already had three, but listened and I am rebuilding them way more in detail and broader than earlier on. So drop the ego and do the reps. 😎 Looking forward to the rest. With the kids at home, I will see if I can maintain the tempo, but at least the momentum is there.
