The Unforgettable Show

Welcome back to The Elevated Edit Podcast! In today's episode, we dive into something we all need more of in 2024—rest, relaxation, and JOMO (The Joy of Missing Out). Forget FOMO—it's time to flip the script and embrace the peace that comes with staying in, saying no, and leaning into those quiet moments.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why JOMO is the new self-care move that will transform your life (and no, you don’t have to feel bad about it).
• The art of setting boundaries without the guilt and how it can help you recharge and refocus.
• Why slowing down actually makes you more productive and creative (yes, science backs it!).
• Blaklee’s personal journey from constant hustle to finding joy in doing nothing (spoiler: it led to the creation of this very podcast).
• Tangible tips on how to start incorporating more JOMO into your life, even if it’s just 30 minutes of "doing nothing" this weekend.

Quotes to remember:

• “Rest isn’t something to apologize for—it’s where your best ideas are born.”
• “JOMO means living life on your own terms, not someone else’s social calendar.”

Actionable Takeaways:

1. Set Boundaries: Start saying ‘no’ to things that drain you, and ‘yes’ to more quiet moments that nourish you.
2. Schedule Rest: Block out time for relaxation, even if it’s just 30 minutes, and fully enjoy it—no distractions.
3. Lean into the Quiet: Use downtime to reconnect with your creativity and recharge. You’ll be amazed at what a little stillness can do.

Transcript Excerpt:

"I have always been a very goal-oriented person. When I was little, I wasn’t playing with baby dolls; instead, I was turning my kitchen set into a restaurant and making my own money. Fast forward to my 20s: I graduated college, entered the workforce, and discovered a passion for personal development and real estate. Over the years, I’ve immersed myself in courses, books, and social media influencers, but it can be overwhelming with so much conflicting information out there. The Elevated Edit podcast is here to make personal development fun, feminine, and accessible."
