Funny… I moved into my new home yesterday. This morning, as I was unpacking my office to get ready for the work day, I stumbled upon an old box of books from many years ago. I used to be a very avid reader, and with this new home I figured what the hell… I want to pick up my reading habit and shift into the identity of a reader again. So I open one of my many boxes of books to see what I had inside. The very first book? The only skill that matters by Jonathan Levi. A book about learning to become a “super learner”. Speed reading. Memory enhancements. Learning how to learn. Funny how the universe works like that sometimes. I don’t think there’s a single book in my entire collection that makes more sense for me to read first than this one.

I'm curious how many others wake in the morning with concepts, or considerations which set up your ideas, or can dictate your day ? For example, when I woke this morning, my wife asked me if I slept well, to which I replied, "Yeah, pretty well, although I've woken up thinking about cutlery and neurodivergence" As usual, she kissed me good morning, smiled and replied, "Of course you have", but it was true. Part of the reason why I had been considering this, is that I'm often thinking about new ways to explain neurodivergence and neuroinclusivity to clients and connections. As I was lying there, I was feeling that the spoon was getting a rough deal. We often refer to laying the table as "putting the knives and forks out, but rarely does the spoon get a mention. Unlike the knife, which really only has one purpose, and whilst the fork can potentially have two to three reasons for existence, even though it does not have the uniform straightness of the other tools, the spoon can do both of their jobs, and often a lot more, therefore making it more efficient than the others. In addition to this, it's a lot more fun as it looks a little quirkier rolling around the table, you can sort of see your reflection in it like a cheap mini hall of mirrors, and unlike the other two, the best bit is that it can make other people smile when it hangs off your nose. Anyway, now you know what my wife has to deal with when things like this just pop into my head. I was just wondering if this was a common thing or just me?

Today is February 1st—the first day of one of the historically most challenging months for me, and for anyone else who suffers from seasonal affective disorder. As my grandma loves to say, "February is the shortest AND longest month of the year." But today is also the full moon in Leo, for all you astrology nerds out there. (Looking at you, @Matthew O'Brien! 😉) And this full moon in Leo is calling you—calling ALL of us—to step into our power and f*cking shine! To honor this full moon in my sun & ascendant signs (yes, I'm a double Leo, and yes, I am proud about it 😂🦁), I am proposing a challenge: 🌅 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗲 & 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝟮𝟭-𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲 🌅 For the next 21 days, I’m committing to sharing one lesson per day about: - 🧠 Business & entrepreneurship - 🌱 Emotional regulation & nervous system stability - 💰 Abundance, self-trust, and sustainable success - 🧘‍♂️ Becoming a more grounded, embodied human And I’m inviting you to do this with me. 🔥 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗢𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗥𝘂𝗹𝗲𝘀 🔥 Keep it simple & real: - Post one lesson per day (or whenever you feel called) - Short is perfect (3–10 sentences is plenty) - No polishing, no perfectionism - Lessons can be from wins, mistakes, patterns, or realizations The goal is to step into your power, shine your light, and OWN who you are. F*ck RSD. F*ck being "too much". F*ck being "broken". This is your time to take up space and show how f*cking powerful you really are! There are no prizes here. No one is tracking or keeping score. Miss a day? Come back. This isn't about perfection. This is about seeing how much JOY and EASE we can bring into our practice. Let's rise together. Let's shine. Are you with me?
