A little reminder for perfectionists... ๐Ÿ˜‰


Hiii Reader,

Lately, I've been spending a lot of time outside my comfort zone...

Some of you may have noticed I've referenced a new leadership training I've been immersed in these past couple of months.

You may hear me mention it from time to time...

Then again, you may not ๐Ÿ˜

Part of the experience is focusing more on doing the work than talking about it.

What I can share is that it's become my "Misogi" for 2026๐ŸŒŸ

If you're not familiar with the concept, a Misogi is a Japanese-inspired practice popularized by Jesse Itzler. I've included below a link to the vid that first introduced me to this amazing way to remember milestone events we achieve each year ๐Ÿ’ช

Essentially, a Misogi is one challenge you choose - so meaningful, so stretching and so outside your comfort zone, intended to shape the rest of your year!

YOUR Misogi will serve as a marker point of what and how your year will be remembered by ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿป

The goal isn't perfection.

The goal isn't even certainty.

The goal is growth ๐Ÿš€

And lately, that idea has had me thinking a lot about excellence!

Not excellence as perfection. Excellence as in choosing to show up fully, honor your commitments and do your best with what today gifts you.

That reflection inspired this month's blog and I hope it inspires you to consider:

What might be your own Misogi this year? We are only halfway through the year and it's the perfect time to reignite a vision you would like to still create in 2026๐Ÿ˜…

Let's DO This ๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™€๏ธ

I trust myself enough to figure it out as I go ๐Ÿ‘ฃ

Perhaps this month's reminder is simply this...

Growth rarely comes from staying comfortable.

The challenge you're avoiding...
may just be the one that changes you ๐Ÿ˜

The conversation you're postponing...
may be the one that sets you free ๐Ÿฆ…

The first step you're afraid to take...
may be the one that starts it all ๐Ÿ‘ฃ

You don't need perfection.
You just need courage for the next step ๐Ÿ’ช

The world doesn't need perfect people...
It needs people of character โœจ๐ŸŒŽโœจ

And as always...
I'm right here with YOUUU. Doing the thing ๐Ÿ’›

With MUCH Love,

Hiii Reader, Happy FriYayyy๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿป I hope you're finding little moments to pause, breathe and enjoy this summer. July has been one of those months that stretched me in ways I didn't expect๐Ÿ˜‰ Between filming, exciting new opportunities, personal growth and a few much-needed reminders from life, I've come away with one lesson that I don't think I'll forget anytime soon... When we're exhausted, we're often not seeing life as it really is! We're simply seeing it through the lens of fatigue. That...

Hiii Reader, This birthday monthโ€™s newsletter is centered around a reminder I think many of us need sometimes... Scared does not mean stop โœ‹ I know, I know... Life has felt especially full for all of us!! For me, filming (the BEST part;) and then the personal and family challenges (the hardest part;) while trying to fully show up through it all (the most necessary part;) - has felt like A LOT lately ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ’จ It reminds me of something really important...

Hiii Reader, Lately, Iโ€™ve been thinking about how easy it is to override ourselves. To move on too quickly.To assume something isnโ€™t meant for us.To leave before a moment has a chance to unfold.

So let me ask you somethingโ€ฆ โœจ What if we didnโ€™t always feel the need to rush the moment? ๐ŸŒŸ Affirm Your Timing ๐ŸŒŸ I trust the moment as it unfolds ๐Ÿฆ‹ APRIL Reflections April BLOG๐Ÿ’ซ The Moment I Almost...
