Mindset work isn't just affirmations; it is deep-seated, intuitive work rooted in your purpose.

When we think about mindset, we need to focus on what is going to afford us the capacity to build the dream business. It comes with truly believing and embodying that the thing you want is already yours, and you are just bridging the gap.

Think of your creativity, your business vision, or your capacity to show up authentically online as a high-maintenance sourdough starter. It’s alive, it’s precious, and it requires quality care.

Leaning on your support system, deepening your connections, and spending quality time with your loved ones is a sure-fire way to navigate this season. As humans, we are not meant to weather cold fronts alone—not seasonally and not in life either!

Society often praises the big risk-takers—the ones who uproot everything to chase a dream. But meaningful change doesn’t always look dramatic. Sometimes, it is as simple as adjusting your morning routine to give yourself a few quiet moments before the day begins. Those subtle shifts, repeated over time, create the kind of change that actually lasts.

We are, whether we realize it or not, standing in front of a mirror and being asked to take accountability for the ways we’ve shaped the world, for the systems we’ve upheld, and for the version of society we want to build next.

While people certainly seek authentic connections through social media, it's crucial to understand that not everyone will comprehend or resonate with your story. Misunderstandings are inevitable, and not every response will meet your expectations.

If you’re in the messy middle, please know this: you don’t have to earn your comeback. You don’t have to turn your pain into a perfectly packaged lesson.You just have to keep choosing yourself, one soft restart at a time.

And if all you managed today was brushing your teeth? That counts too.

Over time, I learned that being kind doesn’t mean pleasing everyone. It involves discernment in who receives our kindness and how. It requires recognizing when relationships should be nurtured and when—with kindness toward ourselves—it’s time to close certain chapters.
