so… fuck shoulds, how bout that?


hey, snowrose.

you know the saying — how you do anything is how you do everything?

well, i’m not a fan. not really

because the way i clean my house is not at all the way i write these messages to you, for example

the one i do begrudgingly + a bit halfassedly. the other i absorb myself in so completely that i need to set alarms so i don’t accidentally blow off plans

and if i put my all into cleaning the house the same way i do to write these messages, and if i do that for all the other tasks i don’t love so much…

well, i’m only one freaking person. and so the hell are you

and if we give our absolute all to ALL the things, we have less capacity to do the ones we love (which are also the ones that’ll likely bring us not only the most joy, but also the most SUCCESS)

often the “how you do anything is how you do everything” trip is used to motivate/shame you into being more disciplined in pursuit of your success

subtext: you don’t know what’s good for yourself, so the more you can make yourself do things you don’t wanna do, the more “successful” you’ll be at achieving them… even though they may not actually be the best goals for you anyway

the start of a new year is absolutely LITTERED with messaging that insinuates you’re not doing enough + haven’t been for quite some time

that you’ve dropped the ball so many times it’s bounced out of sight

that you’re behind, that you’ve missed the mark, that you’re wasting your time, your money, your energy, your life

that there’s something inherently WRONG with you, and that it’s time to fucking do something about it

and listen, i want you to achieve your goals

i want you to be happy + healthy + your best self living your best life, etc etc

but i want you doing it on YOUR terms, and in ways that actually ADD to your life + your experience of it

i DO believe that the SPIRIT in which you do a thing matters, and you can bring that spirit to all the things

and when you bring the SPIRIT of self-trust, self-love, and self-care to your business decisions just as you would the rest of your life, you create goals + plans that you WANT to follow + achieve

because YOU are at the center of them

YOU in all your quirkiness, all your visionary effervescence

YOU in what brings you deep joy + boundless hope

YOU as the number one best authority of what you want to work toward, try next, breathe into being

and what you want it to look + feel like every damn day

if you’d like to start this new year off differently…

if you’re ready to trust yourself at least as much as everyone else, and center what lights you up + brings you ease in your business decisions as well as your relational ones…

if you dare to be so bold as to stop the hustle + start making aligned, intentional moves grounded in what you already know, deep down, to be true —

dropping shame, guilt, and obligation in favor of meaningful, sustainable, resonant success in all the ways that matter to you…

BEHIND THE ENDEARMENT:

i know i tend to go with food-based endearments, but i've got snowroses on the BRAIN lately!

i saw a video on IG where someone formed a beautiful little rose from snow, and although i tried it, i wasn't super successful

so i'm researching + trying again + mark my words i WILL make a cute one before the winter is over!

this, however, wasn't it lol

hey, buttercrunch. so, picture this… it’s christmas eve at my grandparents’ house, circa maybe like 1980 or so everyone’s packed in the kitchen, likely getting in the way of my poppy + my mom who are no doubt preparing the smelts + clam sauce + five other fishes for our traditional italian christmas eve feast everyone but me, that is as the story goes, all of a sudden from the kitchen they heard my sweet small voice — maybe i was four or five, and i certainly wasn’t as much of a loudmouth...
