ON BREAKFAST TOAST + BUSINESS TIMELINES

A thought for our Thursday, {first_name} -

Feeling satisfied ≠ settling.

It's digesting.

And it's important.

It's easy to absorb the idea that if we're not reaching for more we're rolling backwards. losing ground, momentum, progress. how about we're just DIGESTING?

We take breaks between meals.

We let enough be enough.

We let satisfaction work its magic while we put our attention elsewhere.

The hunger always returns, eventually.

We don't have to force it.

(And YES, when we DO force it, one way or another, bypassing hunger OR enough, we eventually skew the signals. But there are ways to get back in tune, and they're worth exploring.)

We feel most energized in the state of dynamic attunement. noticing hunger, noticing enough. trusting there's a reasonable rhythm to both.

As for my breakfast toast, so for my business timeline. 🍞✨

Does this feel true to you too?

P.S. If you haven't had a chance to read my last email (SUBJ: Fruition, finally. 🍎), and you're curious how I'm working with clients right now - check it out and lmk what Qs you've got! We're just getting warmed up over here. 🔥

And as a P.P.S. for the same sentiment, styled another way:

One of my fave lightbulb moments: the "I'll have what I'm having" realization. 💡

The moment when her face lights up to realize she's actually LIVING the life she once [journaled, doodled, vision boarded, dreamt about] planned for and worked towards.

We don't often stop to consider that we're currently LIVING the goals we once set, in many ways.

If you haven't in a while, consider this your sign to pull over and enjoy the view from the current lookout before rushing along to the next stop. 🏞️

Also, here's a fun tip for curing hiccups.

And a wild but TRUE thought about how cute and analog we are in 2025.

Back soon. ❤️
