Hey all!
I began this newsletter back in the summer of 2023 and, admittedly, put it on the back burner because I wasn’t entirely sure where I wanted to go with…. well…. anything. Meaning, I was unclear on many fronts: coaching, writing, business ownership, consulting, competing, what color to dye my hair next….. everything was a big question mark, so I did what any natural-born overwhelmed-by-her-own-indecision-procrastinator would do: I shut it all down. (Solid plan.)
(** note: hair color has changed since)
Truth be told, 2023 was one of the best years i’ve had in a very long time. While my hesitation in life goals and a snail’s-paced work schedule had me sweating more than a sinner in church, I spent the year absolutely filling my soul to the brim.
It was a year of rekindled and strengthened relationships, a heck-ton of travel to amazing places, LOTS of time spent with my closest loved ones, a new position working with a community of amazing people, endless competitions that fueled my own training, and a healing to many physical and neurological ailments plaguing my body.
While it somewhat feels like I “checked out” on being a responsible grown-up, I have to look at it as a means necessary to bring myself back to homeostasis, an opportunity to check myself and change the shit patterned habits I lived with for so long, and understand myself on a better level so that I could move forward with an optimized life that carries a new perspective on most things. And it was fucking GLORIOUS.
But now here we are. 6 weeks into a new year and I’m sweating again.
I’ve spent the last month mapping things out in my brain (which is a place that you totally wanna and totally don’t wanna live in), and I’ve come to some conclusions…most of which derive to this one point:
I want to do a lot.
So, before I bite off more than I can chew (another sticky trait of mine), I will tell you this: I’m back on Substack. For good.
I’ve been keeping a list of topics to write about and I’m excited to share, discuss, make you laugh, challenge you, make you question your own perspectives, and hopefully relate to those of you who need someone to relate to.
Also, sometimes I like to talk shit, so this will be the space to do it.
Hope you’re all still here for the ride.
