Hi Reader,

Happy 2024!

My brain is unable to process that we have reached a year where people born in 2001 are now adults adulting in the workforce. 😭

WELCOME ⭐

If you're new to this newsletter, thank you for being here.

Every two weeks, I send an email rounding up tips, stories, and resources on improving mindset, money, productivity, or other lifestyle matters.

I often draw inspiration for these newsletters from real life conversations.

WEEKLY MUSINGS 🌺

The other week, I was talking to a friend and she was telling me about something she wanted to do; a passion of hers, and what she described as the "end goal" that she envisions for her life.

But she didn't feel comfortable putting it out there yet because she wasn't good at "promoting herself."

I wanted to shake her and go, "But you'd be SO good at it!"

I come across so many people with amazing ideas or aspirations, but hold back on sharing their gifts with the world because of their own fears, self doubt, or what people may think.

I'm here to remind you that it always gets better.

The first time you put something out there, it's awkward.

You wonder if you look silly.

You wonder if people will talk about you.

The reality is that most people are so absorbed with the busyness of their own lives, they are not thinking about what you are doing with yours.

And if they are, they're probably not people you'd aspire to be anyway, so why let it matter?

I promise you, if you start today, you'll be glad you did one year from now.

Your life can drastically change in a matter of months by taking that first step.

A big part of the journey is embracing the discomfort and the growth that comes from the other side of fear.

Going into 2024, I hope you have the courage to take that leap of faith.

If you have a goal you want to pursue this year, feel free to share for accountability. I know I'm more accountable when I share my goals!

ON THE PODCAST 🎙️

This week, I share 5 new habits I adopted in 2023 that I will continue to embrace in 2024.

These were my golden discoveries last year that worked for me, and I'm excited to share them on this episode.
