Let’s talk about something we all need more of…quiet moments that let our minds breathe. Today’s gift is one of my favorites because it blends relaxation and empowerment: Inspiring “I Am” Coloring Pages. Yes… coloring. And before you say, “Jenn, I’m a grown adult,” hear me out. 😄 There is something grounding about sitting down with a blank page and a few colors — no deadlines, no notifications, no pressure. When I was recovering from being paralyzed, I started coloring as a form of occupational therapy. I grew to rely on that simple activity to help regain use of my hands. It has become a hobby I have grown to really enjoy. Just you, slowing down long enough to remember that peace is a choice…and sometimes, play is the pathway. These “I Am” pages aren’t just cute designs. They’re affirmations in motion. Because when your hands are busy, your mind finally quiets enough to receive the words: I am strong. I am capable. I am worthy. I am enough. And the best part? They’re a beautiful activity to share with your child or teen. A simple moment that plants big seeds… confidence, self-belief, and the reminder that their inner voice matters. Coloring together creates space for conversations we often rush past — about courage, feelings, hopes, and the truth of who they are. So today, give yourself permission to slow down. Grab some markers, pick a page, print it out, and let your inner artist make an appearance. 🌈🖍️ Sometimes the smallest activities are the biggest gifts. **Bonus points for sharing a pic of your finished page(s) 🙂❤️

“Each day I strive to become the person I want to be.” Simple. Direct. Unapologetic. This isn’t about perfection. It’s about progress with intention. It’s about showing up for yourself-not in grand gestures, but in the small, consistent choices that shape who you’re becoming. The woman you want to be? She’s not waiting for the “right time.” She’s being built in real time—in the boundaries you hold, the peace you protect, the goals you chase, the habits you choose, and the courage you practice one tiny moment at a time. Every day you decide who you’re becoming. Every choice is a vote. Every intentional action is a brick in the foundation of your next chapter. And that—quietly, steadily, fiercely—is more than enough.💛

Today’s gift is for the woman who’s ready for more. There comes a moment in every woman’s life when she realizes this truth: You can’t rise while you’re gripping what’s been weighing you down. Comparison. Self-judgment. Past setbacks you’ve already outgrown but haven’t released. We all carry something we were never meant to hold this long. So today’s journal prompt is simple, but deeply confronting: What am I ready to let go of so I can finally rise into who I’m becoming? Write without filters. Without apology. Without performing strength. Ask yourself: ✨ What stories have I been replaying that no longer define me? ✨ Where have I been measuring myself against someone else’s timeline? ✨ What old version of me am I still trying to keep alive out of habit, fear, or comfort? ✨ What would my life feel like if I released the one thing I’m most afraid to admit is holding me back? Releasing isn’t weakness. It's preparation. It's clearing space for the woman you’re rising into. When you let go, you don’t lose. You become lighter. Clearer. More aligned with what’s actually meant for you. So today, give yourself permission to set something down. A belief. A comparison. A memory. A moment you’ve given too much power. Let it go…so you can rise. I would love to hear what you are letting go of if you feel like sharing. 💛

Hello everyone- I know I’ve been a little out of touch lately, and I wanted to take a moment to reach out personally. The past 1-1/2 months have been a whirlwind--from my parents relocating to Georgia and my father recovering from open heart surgery, travel out of the country, the heartbreaking loss of our sweet dog, Flora, and a round of illness that shut down my legs and completely knocked me off my feet. It’s been a season of reflection, rest, and recalibration — and I truly appreciate your patience and understanding. That said, I’m so excited to be stepping back in and refocusing on our community. 💫 To my Founding Members — first, thank you. You’ve been here since the very beginning, and your presence means the world. As we continue to grow, I want to gently remind everyone that remaining a Founding Member (and continuing to participate for free) means showing up as an active participant in the group. That doesn’t mean perfection — it means presence. 💬 Join in conversations. ❤️ Encourage others. 📅 Participate in our check-ins and Office Hours. I’ll continue hosting Monday Midday Check-Ins and Office Hours (switching to twice a month) but I truly need your help to make this community thrive. The power of this space comes from all of us — sharing, supporting, and rising together. Thank you again for your grace, your loyalty, and your heart. I’m grateful to walk this journey with such an incredible group of women. With love and gratitude, Jennifer 💖 PS- Here is a picture of our sweet girl, Flora. We will love and miss her, always 💗
