Hi Reader,
​​
​It’s been a minute since I’ve been in your inbox. Between exams, having a fun mental spiral, and returning back to work, I’ve sincerely missed writing to you Reader.

During my unplanned break, I went through an array of emotions ranging from disappointment with myself for falling off track, to acceptance of the fact that sometimes life happens.

One thing I hate most about taking breaks is getting out of my flow – discipline, content, and workwise.

In the past, I used to mentally beat myself up for not being super disciplined and struggling with consistency immediately after returning.

Unfortunately, getting back on track requires extra effort to rebuild your momentum. Fortunately, once you start and push through the discomfort you’ll get back into your groove.

That’s why learning to focus on small daily actions & celebrating little wins is key (For me it was gradually getting back into my routines by starting a new book; I’m currently reading The Ego is the Enemy by Ryan Holiday + disciplining myself to work at my desk instead of my bed).

You cannot shock your body into change so give yourself grace, focus on the little incremental actions, and celebrate your small wins on your journey.

Remember: Progress over perfection + Discipline over Emotions ​
​
Ending this with a few lines I love from one of my favorite books The Mountain is You by Brianna Wiest.

The most effective and healthy way to change your life is slowly. If we shock our systems with too much change too fast, we often revert back to what we knew.
​
Instead of perfection, focus on progress. Instead of having something done perfectly, focus on just getting it done. From there, you can edit, build, grow, and develop it to exactly what your vision is. But if you don’t get started, you’ll never arrive.
​
What you do every single day accounts for the quality of your life and the degree of your success. It’s not whether you “feel” like putting in the work, but whether or not you do it regardless.

I have so much to share and can’t wait to write to you this coming week.

Hi Reader,As we prepare to enter 2025, one thing I’ve learned (and relearned) is this: You must let go to create space for more. Over the past few weeks, I’ve had several conversations with friends who’ve made bold moves:✨ One let go of a toxic client and soon landed a higher-paying, international client.✨ Another left a job that felt safe but stagnant—and is now thriving in a role they’re excited about every day.✨ Someone else closed a chapter in their business to make space for a new...

Hi Reader,Two years ago, someone told me my content was mediocre. At the time, it stung—but looking back, that single comment turned out to be one of the best things that ever happened to me. Why? Because actively seeking feedback—even the kind that doesn’t feel great to hear at first—has been a game-changer for me. Every few quarters, I make it a point to ask for honest feedback, whether it’s about my content, business, or even personal growth. This habit has helped me uncover blind spots...
