Ayla and Potato3s: A Nightly Message From Your Best Friend

Today’s episode is a soft one — about learning lessons, holding my own work in my hands, and remembering that even small wins are sacred. I talk about quality hugs, why I believe meaning fades when it’s overdone, and how it feels to see my art and journals finally come to life. There’s a little chaos, a little peace, and a lot of love. I’m proud of myself today — not because it’s perfect, but because I didn’t spiral when it wasn’t.

Today felt really good — grounded, productive, and kind. I sent my decorator emails, rescheduled my mammogram and ultrasound, met my new teacher (he’s great), and had a powerful class moment about running 1,001 experiments. It totally shifted my mindset about perfectionism and progress.

I’m realizing that experimenting is how I learn, not how I fail. Even something small — like making ramen differently — becomes part of that practice. I talked about positive intelligence, overthinking, and how we sabotage ourselves without noticing.

More than anything, I’m proud of myself for showing up, resting when I needed to, and remembering that 5 million listeners isn’t impossible — it’s just one experiment at a time. I love you. Thanks for being here with me. 💛

Today was a “laundry list” kind of day — the kind where everything feels small but sacred. I went to the doctor, took a nap with the lights on, sent a few emails, and remembered that effort counts too. I talked about letting life feel like a game you’ve already won, and about celebrating small wins (even if it’s just gummy bears and broccoli). It’s not glamorous, but it’s real — and maybe that’s enough.

Today I talked about the quiet power of consistency — how showing up, even in small ways, can be an act of love. I shared my wins (like finally following through on a bunch of emails and interviews), the things I’m still figuring out, and what it really means to build a life through gentle, steady steps. It’s not glamorous, but it’s real — and it counts

Today was one of those quietly brave days 💪🎨 — I picked 10 of my paintings, watermarked them, and started getting ready to reach out to interior decorators in Houston 🏙️. It felt scary but exciting, like stepping into a new chapter 🌱. I spent most of the day talking with my bestie Nina 💞, and I even surprised her by tagging her in a TikTok video — she almost cried 😭 (happy tears, of course). We also made a wish together for financial abundance ✨, and honestly, I think this might be how it starts — by taking small, aligned actions. I’m nervous but proud. Because all I can do… is all I can do. And that’s enough 💫

Today felt soft and easy — like tying a bow on a chapter I didn’t know I’d finished. I renewed my license (double chin and all), shared my first journal on Amazon, uploaded a Reiki sleep meditation to YouTube, and even got a surprise text from my son asking to hang out. Between vision boards, B-12 theories, and love lessons, I realized healing is just the heart learning to rest. Maybe this is what it feels like when the ache starts to end.

Today felt like getting married… to my business. 💍 I officially registered Living Life Unbridled as a sole proprietorship, and I’m so proud of that step. My son canceled dinner (which I kinda expected), but the day still turned into something full — from helping my mom, to talking with my mentor, to buying paint and trying new foods. I discovered the best sweet-and-spicy chips ever, painted “Two Unicorns,” and even sent my latest Substack piece to Bloom on a whim. It’s funny how something as small as a snack or a new color can make life feel alive again. So yeah… unbridled. Still learning, still laughing, still loving you

I was so tired today — body, mind, and soul. Between gym fatigue, doctor’s appointments, and trying to renew my license, everything felt like too much. But maybe this season is about tying up loose ends before what’s next begins. I’m learning to hold hope even when I’m worn out… and to keep believing that something good is still coming.

Today was about slowing down and giving myself grace. I didn’t make it to the gym, but I did small things that mattered — errands, laundry, rest. I’m learning that starting over doesn’t mean beginning from zero. It just means remembering what already works. I talked through some business plans, let go of pressure, and reminded myself: I can move from anxious to calm, one step at a time.

I was so tired I almost fell asleep mid-sentence — but sometimes, that’s when the real honesty comes through. In this episode, I talk about exhaustion, transformation, and how growth doesn’t always look like a big, cinematic change. Sometimes it’s just unpacking your suitcase, losing a few skincare items in New York, and realizing you still showed up anyway. I remind myself (and maybe you too) that it doesn’t always make sense — but it still matters
