🍃 Mindful Mondays

Hey there Founders!

I want to start this week a little differently.

Instead of jumping straight into the grind, I want to open Mondays as a space for something deeper with my first post in the Mindful Mondays series.

Each Monday, I’ll share something I’m noticing in myself, a truth, a feeling or a pattern I’m ready to release. If you feel called, I invite you to use the framework below (in the comments) or just tune into what’s alive within you. Share what wants to be seen or simply hold it with awareness. This is a space for authenticity and vulnerability. No pressure, only presence.

I will be making a post every Monday moving forward (don't worry it will be much shorter next week). So even if you don’t feel like diving in right now, there’ll be plenty of chances down the road. And if this never feels like your thing, that’s totally okay too , you’re still beautiful, loved, and deeply appreciated all the same 😇

Here’s to beginning the week not with force, but with honesty, softness, and love.

For me, being vulnerable is a gift. It's not about oversharing or dramatizing what’s hard, it’s about honest presence, a choice to pause and look at what is really living inside of us. To give light to something that wants to be heard.

Because I’ve noticed… when I begin my week by tuning into this reality, it sets a tone of authenticity and freedom that carries into everything else. I stop performing, and start connecting more meaningfully.

This week (and a little from last week), I am choosing to notice that I am holding on to this idea that I am not the kind of person who gets sad. I just don't do it.

It's not that I feel like I'm not allowed to be, it's more that I don't know how to be or don't fully have access to the parts of me that are hurt and so It feels difficult to let the sad in.

Being a part of this amazing community and especially my close friends here in Austin have helped open some emotional doors within me and I'm slowly starting to let love illuminate the forgotten rooms within me... and it's so beautiful and deeply intense in the best way. Shout out to

@Rachel Hasson

and

@Jenny Landis

for being a couple of real homies last week and helping me process some of this 💖

This week, I’m choosing to meet the parts of me that feel unsafe or sad with love instead of resistance. I’m giving them space to breathe. I’m letting go of the tension I’ve been carrying and allowing myself to be fully me. Even when it’s messy... especially when it’s messy.
