I'm curious to hear everyone's story. Was it a specific moment or gradual realization?

And it’s a three day weekend in the US! What are you up to today?

Tomorrow I’m leading a virtual workshop for 200 people and every single one of them already has my journal in their hands. This is a first for me and I’m honestly so excited. A foundation reached out and asked me to speak. I offered my journals at a discount. They said yes and bought one for every participant and mailed them out as a Christmas gift. I used Amazon MCF to fulfill the order and it worked beautifully. Yes, it was a little pricey during the holidays. Prices definitely shift depending on timing. Still 100 percent worth it. There is something really powerful about teaching when everyone is holding the same tool and we are learning together in real time. Note to self. Remember to ask for screenshots of everyone holding up their journals. That will be epic. Sharing this as a reminder of what is possible when you say yes, make it easy to buy, and trust the process. Grateful. Excited. And cheering all of you on as you build your own firsts.

I just spent the last hour getting my presentation for tonight ready and it feels really good. I used NotebookLM to help shape the content and realized I can repurpose it straight into scripting and recording this week’s YouTube video tomorrow. That is alignment. One effort. Multiple outputs. Less burnout. More ease. Moments like this remind me why I love building this way. Slow. Intentional. Connected. How about you? How is your day going so far?

We are going out to brunch with my in-laws this morning and then celebrating my mom's 80th birthday with my side of the family tonight! Tomorrow is all about relaxing, household chores and publishing my next YouTube video (I will eventually get this done by Fridays, but Sunday will have to do for now). What about you?
