Grounded guidance that helps you grow in the ways that matter most—professionally, financially, and personally.
The holidays are creeping in—you can feel it in the air, in the twinkle lights showing up early, and of course, in your inbox that’s suddenly bursting with “biggest sale of the year” alerts. It’s that time when big-ticket items feel slightly more within reach: the 4K TV you’ve been eyeing, the phone upgrade that suddenly feels necessary, or that luxury kitchen gadget that promises to turn you into someone who actually enjoys cooking.
I didn’t buy the $80 hoodie because I needed one. I bought it because I was exhausted after a long day of people-pleasing, tight deadlines, and feeling like I couldn’t quite catch up to my own life. That online checkout button felt like control, comfort, and a reward all rolled into one. The package showed up two days later—but the emotional high didn’t last nearly as long.
You know that tight feeling in your chest when your to-do list somehow multiplies while you sleep? That background hum of anxiety, like a low battery alert that never shuts off? At one point, I found myself living there—constantly scanning for the next task to tackle, the next message to answer, the next ball to keep in the air. Everything felt urgent, even when it wasn’t.
For years, I followed the popular advice: Sunday is sacred. Do your reset, clean the fridge, plan your meals, review your goals, and basically prime your life for a flawless Monday. It all looked great on paper. Productive. Polished. Perfect.
