Earlier this month, I dropped a new newsletter on fear. There is a lot of it right now in the world.

A certain amount of fear helps us: like when I gave my first keynote in 7 years and felt like I was going to puke but did it anyway.

But there is a line.....

Brené Brown calls it the fear line.

And when you cross it?

You operate as a victim, hero or villian.

Above it? You lead, create, coach.
Below it? You spiral.

Now I ask:
→ Am I above or below the line?
→ What do I need to pull me back up?

You can’t control the chaos....but you can stop fear from calling the shots.

Here’s what I’ve learned:
📌 boundaries are a gift.
📌 systems aren’t rigid, they’re freedom.
📌 asking for help is strength, not failure.

Still waiting to feel “ready”? Here’s your sign to stop waiting and start moving.

Here’s how to create momentum this week:
Pick one thing you’ve been putting off.
Set a deadline (even if it’s fake).
Say it out loud. Post it. Calendar it. Make it real.

Deadlines create urgency. Urgency creates action.
Stop waiting for the perfect time.
Make the time.

📌 Save this + drop your fake deadline below, I’ll be your accountability.

So many of you helped bring this cover to life.

The book I wrote in airports, voice notes, and 5AM bursts of clarity finally has a cover and I’m so thankful for you all being on this journey with me.

TOXIC GRIT isn’t a book about a perfect, polished life.
It’s frameworks and strategies to navigate the messy middle.

It’s about redefining ambition, on your terms.

And yes… it’s officially up for preorder!
But today, I just want you to see what we made.

Every DM. Reply to my newsletters. Every story I see on social media.

You are all in this book and I hope you see yourself in it.

Thank you for bringing this cover to life!

Toxic Grit is officially available for pre-orders (arrives October 21st!)

You don’t need to do less, you need smarter rhythms that support your pace.

With a book launch around the corner, client work, and the end-of-school chaos with 3 kids… the hustle is real.

Old me would’ve gone into robot mode. Head down, power through.

But now?
I can make the hustle happen — because I’ve built rituals that keep me present in the middle of it:

🗓️ A “bored meeting” walk at 3pm.
👯‍♀️ A monthly list of 3 people I actually want to connect with.
🌳 Laying under trees. Watching the sky. Letting it all land for a few mins.

These aren’t breaks from life, they’re how I stay in it.

💬 Comment NEWSLETTER if you want reminders to stay rooted in your season, without losing momentum.

The secret to doing it all? I don’t. My systems do.

Systems remove the need for motivation.
They eliminate decision fatigue.
They create predictable momentum.

I created the FAST method to help you figure out where you need one:
F = Friction
A = Assess
S = Structure
T = Test & Train

This changed everything for me, from chaotic mornings as a single parent to finishing my book.
✨ Busy doesn’t mean burned out. Structure sets you free.

We weren’t raised to want. We were raised to be nice. To take up less space. To say “I’m fine” when we’re crumbling.

But here’s the plot twist:
I want more. And I’m not whispering it.

More rest. More money.
More damn ease.

If that makes me “too much,” cool, at least I’m not on mute.

you don’t need to quit your job, burn it all down, or move to a cabin in the woods.

you just need to feel like yourself again.

the version of you who laughed louder.
who booked spontaneous trips.
who didn’t schedule joy like a chore.

she’s still in there, just buried under endless to-do lists and everyone else’s needs.

so now? I protect space for her.
I plan for joy the same way I plan meetings.
I chase sparks on purpose.
because burnout didn’t take me out, autopilot did.

you don’t need a new life.
you need to remember you’re still allowed to enjoy the one you’ve built.

start there.

Mother’s Day wish list (because flowers won’t fix a broken system):

Federally paid maternity leave

Pelvic floor therapy that isn’t a luxury

Lactation consultants on speed dial

Changing tables in all bathrooms

Career goals that don’t expire with your due date

Childcare that doesn’t cost more than college

Yes, I’ll still take breakfast in bed.

But also… maybe a better system for moms?
