Journal Entry: This week, I’ve been thinking about how I’m reshaping my days from the usual 24-hour grind into a more intense, focused 12-hour cycle—and surprisingly, it’s working wonders. With my night shift at WinCo kicking in, I’ve flipped my schedule: stock shelves from 11 PM to 7:30 AM, grab a solid nap or sleep to recharge, then dive into my handyman business for a few hours in the afternoon. Another quick rest, and it’s back to the cycle. It’s not your typical routine, but it’s giving...

Journal Entry: This week, I’ve been reflecting on something that’s both vulnerable and vital: sharing your feelings with the ones you love and diving into those difficult conversations. Life’s too short to bottle things up—whether it’s telling someone how much they mean to you or addressing a tough issue head-on. Those talks aren’t easy; they can feel raw and risky. But here’s what I’ve learned: they build deeper connections, clear the air, and often lead to breakthroughs you didn’t see...

Journal Entry: This week, I’ve been digging deep into something personal that’s been a long time coming: finding my fight. For most of my life, I’ve been the ultimate pushover—letting others walk all over me, saying yes when I meant no, and avoiding conflict like it was the plague. It kept the peace on the surface, but inside? It left me frustrated, resentful, and far from the life I wanted. But no more. I’m actively working to change that, figuring out how to stand up for myself in ways that...

This week, I’ve been reflecting on something that keeps me grounded amid the chaos of life: the importance of having a goal you’re chasing, no matter if anyone else gets it or even cares. In a world full of noise and opinions, your goal is yours—it’s the fire that drives you, the North Star that guides your steps. Whether it’s building a blog like mine, diving into entrepreneurship full-time, or something wildly personal, sticking to it when no one’s cheering is where the real growth happens....

As we roll into this week, I’ve been thinking about how life is one wild, unpredictable ride. You never know what’s around the next corner—a new opportunity, a tough challenge, or a moment that changes everything. And you know what? That uncertainty is the joy in life. It’s the heartbeat of adventure, and it’s up to us to carry the torch through the highs and lows, letting every twist shape who we become. Life doesn’t hand you a script. One day you’re booking a red-eye to Nashville for a...

Happy 4th of July! As we celebrate this Independence Day, I’ve been reflecting on one of the cornerstones of our freedom: the right to free speech. It’s more than just a line in the Constitution—it’s the heartbeat of what makes our country vibrant, messy, and alive. And today, I want to talk about why the toughest part of free speech—people you don’t like saying things you don’t like—is actually its most vital piece, and why using that freedom to share your own truth is so powerful. The 4th...

This week, I’ve been thinking about something that’s at the heart of everything we do: relationships. Not the fleeting, transactional kind, but the long-term ones—the ones that grow, evolve, and carry us through life’s twists and turns. Building and nurturing those connections, and keeping people in the loop as we journey through life, isn’t just nice to have—it’s essential. Life moves fast. Between chasing dreams (like my full-time leap into entrepreneurship with this blog and my work with...

This week, I’m taking a step back to wrestle with a question that’s been weighing on me, and I need your perspective. As I pour my heart into building this personal brand—through this newsletter, my blog, and my work with clients—I’ve been open about my journey. From chasing my entrepreneurial dreams full-time to moments like my daughter’s dance recital or my whirlwind trip to Nashville for StoryBrand certification, I’ve shared the highs, the risks, and even the doubts. But now I’m wondering:...
