A Thought on Vision Boards…
(how to build one, why they work, and how mine quietly changed everything) I’ve always been a visual person. Lists help. Calendars help. Systems definitely help.But there’s something about seeing what you’re working toward every single day that hits differently. A couple of years ago, I made a vision board that I really took my…

When Life Says “You Good?” and Then Doesn’t Wait for Your Answer

Burnout, Dogs, and the Energy That Shows Up at the Wrong Time
Today I’m dog sitting again. There are lots of paws on the floor, snores on the couch, and I’m doing that thing where I try to both rest and work and catch up on my whole life… all at once. (Spoiler: it doesn’t really work that way.) I’m also trying to ward off burnout for…
