yes, i planned this episode to come out black friday cyber monday week!

feeling like it’s easy to let go of your goals at the end of the year? you’re not alone! it can be easy to fall apart with our dreams, goals and aspirations as the holidays approach. today we are chatting about 7 micro-habits to give you inspiration that this time of year isn't about completely starting fresh, but making small adjustments and showing up for yourself 1% more than yesterday

this time of year can be so busy, how do we stay present and keep showing up for ourselves even when things feel chaotic?

after years of questioning why i couldn't seem to pull it together the same way everyone else could, getting diagnosed with adhd as an adult felt partially humiliating and partially validating. here is a small glimpse of my story!

what is a morning menu? in today's video we do a deep dive! if you have struggled to stay consistent with a morning routine, this is the approach for you. we chat through what is on my morning menu, and explain the importance of why having options based on energy levels is effective!
