community is contagious


hey, spring roll.

as we round our way to the end of Q1, you might find your energy largely focused on your biz progress + plans

which is amazing. AND…

in the words of TLC, now is ALSO a great time to ask:

what about your friends?

let’s be honest + take a quick inventory…

have you been phoning in any friendships lately?

so overwhelmed with work + life that maybe you’ve taken some cherished friendships for granted?

or maybe you keep making plans with folks who energetically tear you down more than they lift you up because at least you know what to expect

are you partnering with people who bring vitality to your business, or are you stuck in stale partnerships that no longer fit?

are you passing time — personally + professionally — with the kind of energy + values you want to catch?

earlier today i was reviewing the big ideas i’ve built my business around, and the values i hold most dear

this was one of them: community is contagious

being intentional about the groups you stand with + those you condemn is more important now than ever

do they reflect the people you love + the values you want your kids or the children of the world to learn from + model themselves after?

where do the people in your life align themselves, through their actions or their words?

which relationships can weather fundamentally different values, and which ones do you even want to?

do you feel good about the people you’re sharing space, time + energy with?

where you do, go ahead + tell ‘em!

and where you don’t, what would feel better?

when you spring clean the cobwebbed corners of your home this season, consider doing the same with your relationships —

explore which ones are due for a little extra loving attention, which ones might need some tender mending, and which might be time to put to the curb for bulk pickup 🤣

same for those you follow on socials + allow in your inbox (me included)

here’s to getting intentional with your attention + cleaning house where needed

hey, chicken strip. 🚨 stop joining communities to be polite pssst: you can sub “joining communities” with whatever else you’re doing because it would feel rude or uncomfortable not to you work, feel + love too damn hard to slowly smother yourself under the weight of being a “good” friend, colleague, partner or lover it may feel easier to just click “accept” on that group invite than to say it’s not a good fit for you right now same for the new client, volunteer position, date invite or collab...

hey, sesame seed. listen, there will always be some sorta valid bullshit reason to sideline your joy — especially in your business there will always be voices urging you to deprioritize your joy — insisting that it’s impractical, unreasonable + irresponsible to seek joy as a metric of success it’s one thing to SAY you want to claim joy like it’s your job, or to know that you’d like a more joyful experience in this one sweet life of yours that’s the easy part (even though i know you might...

hey, cheese tray. what do you do when there’s a shitton you COULD be doing + you aren’t feeling focused, but you ARE feeling motivated + ready to get down to biz? i regularly use a combination of: whiteboards (3) NUMEROUS google cal reminders (color coded by mood at the moment rather than in pursuit of organizational purposes) — for weekly AND daily goals/tasks sticky notes torn scraps of paper voice memos a journal for strategizing out at cafes or parks dedicated google docs hastily made...
