Life's crazy and things are happening. So how are you doing? For me... I'm about to move on Sunday. Packing and living among boxes is a lot. Being back and forth between houses has been making it difficult to maintain routines. And life in general feels a bit hectic. It's why I haven't been able to keep up with everyone's posts here on Skool. But I promise I will catch up and be here more often, soon! Just gotta push through a few more days of packing and craziness! Kinda perfect timing with the year of the fire horse starting up... stuff's about to move. Fast. I can feel it in my bones. Rex and I are working away on some new fun stuff for you guys. Stay tuned. But over to you—what's going on in your world?

I’ve felt a lot of resistance to posting in this challenge over the past few days. With the support of my friends, that feeling has passed, and I’ve gained new clarity about my current situation. I’ve been dreading the idea of looking for a full-time job because so much of my identity has been wrapped up in Focus Founders and entrepreneurship. Even imagining working under someone else at something that doesn’t light me up, just for the sake of stability, felt heavy. It felt like my freedom was slipping away. However, I have new perspective. The more I sat with it and leaned on the people I love, the clearer it became that stability and freedom are two sides of the same coin. So I’m no longer dreading what’s ahead. I’m holding my head high, grateful that I get to keep creating the life I desire. P.S. I also get to put energy into finding work that feels aligned first. It may not be exactly what I want in this moment. It is what I get to do.

I learned today that sometimes going against what I set out to do ends up supporting me more than if I followed my previously set plan. I intended to be a potato and get almost nothing done today. Instead I decided to go and include myself in a movement my friends have created to empower people through music and art. Beautiful thing that I am so grateful to be invited into, deepened connections and now I get to be a part in creating yet another thing greater than myself and will serve my community. Cup is overflowing once again 🥰

At the beginning of 2025, I decided to set a word for the year: Leadership. My intention was to better understand what it meant to be a leader and how to lead. Throughout the year, this showed up in many ways: - I started this community, - I began leading more and bigger events - I coached over a dozen entrepreneurs My favorite way I showed up as a leader? For my inner child. The little boy who was lost and needed someone to guide the way. I attached the photo I had as my phone background for most of the year… a photo to remind me who I was talking to whenever I was being mean to myself inside my own head. And who wanted to come out to play! It was such a beautiful year. Setting this word as my intention really shaped my decisions and thoughts, which shaped my outcomes. I still have a lot to learn about leadership. It will be something I continue to study. But 2026? At first, I thought my word was going to be “love”. I have a strong desire to deepen into love. But something was missing there… And during a loving kindness meditation today, it hit me: “Presence” A single word wasn’t cutting it. I needed a phrase! And so, my phrase of 2026 is Loving Presence. I have many goals; financial, mental, physical, relational, spiritual. But regardless of the category of the goal, my intention is to move towards it with loving presence. That is to say, being present with myself and with others, with love. With kindness. (Especially towards myself! I’m good at doing this with others, but can use some extra awareness towards myself.) This does not mean I can’t be direct or blunt. It means that I will, to the best of my ability, come back to loving presence as often as possible. I’m excited for the year to come… I’d love to hear from you. What is your word, phrase, or guiding light for 2026?

Yesterday, @Rex Loyer and I sat down for ~6 hours chatting about Focus Founders' mission, purpose, and vision. And today, I'd like to share that with all of you. The Vision: To help 1,000 ADHD entrepreneurs become Focused Founders, earning great money while having a beautiful impact on the world - and loving it every step of the way. Why? Because we believe that good people + focused effort + self-love & compassion = massive world impact Our mission is to eradicate self-doubt and stigma around ADHD while helping people bring their authentic selves into the world, free of judgment. To drop the masks. In a nutshell: Get focused & grow your business - with ♡ Our community is for impact-driven ADHD entrepreneurs with big hearts and big ambitions. It is NOT for founders chasing money without meaning, those unwilling to self-reflect or grow, victims, or complainers. And it's not for the faint of heart. A Focus Founder is someone who cultivates the superpowers of their ADHD brain and builds incredible things that positively impact the world, from a place of love, compassion, and authenticity. We may be messy. We may be imperfect. But we move with purpose. We are Focus Founders. ARE YOU WITH ME?!
