I've Been Lying to Myself 🫥

Read time 5 minutes

Maybe it’s a white lie? Either way, I’m not being honest in what I want and what truly matters to me. In today’s newsletter, I’m being honest about the one value I crave the most & how I’m setting a 30-day challenge to get there.

Let’s dive deeper 👇️ 

What I’m thinking about this week 💫 

I’ve decided to start a challenge. As I write this, I can feel the regret of committing to something else creepin’ up on me queue the Halloween vibes. 

You see, I have this habit. Maybe you have it too. You know the one, you start something, you get super excited and pumped, and then two weeks later you hop onto the next ‘project’. I do it a lot, more times than I’d like to admit. 

It’s okay, we’re all human, or not — queue Halloween vibes - mar stop, they are going to unsubscribe. Whoops. 

Back to it — yes, the challenge. I’ve made a list of the things that give me joy during my week and here they are: 

• My cat 

• Movement 

• Having deep convos with people I feel connected to 

• Working on personal brands like this one or this one

• Writing this newsletter 

Looking at this list, I can spot a trend and that’s > connection. Connection with people, brands I believe in, and also with myself. Based on this one common thread that is so vital to my overall happiness, I’m going to commit to writing this newsletter every single day for the next 30 days. 

Why? 

I feel like it’s going to give me some structure and very quickly put into focus the one thing that matters to me in all areas of my life; connection. This newsletter urges me to reach out to people and hear their stories and connect with them to able to share with you all. The newsletter format will change a bit and I can’t even tell you how right now but what I can tell you is that I’m going to do my best to provide value on: 

> Podcasts that have helped me in more ways than one 

> Stories from the every-day kind of people

> Lessons that actually helped me 

If you read this far, I really appreciate you and ask if you can share this newsletter with 1 friend? 

Thank you,
