What does walking in the direction of your dreams look like to you?

For me, it looks like this — toes in the seawater and sand, feeling at peace within myself, challenging myself mentally to learn a new thing every day, living in harmony with those around me, and giving from the gifts and talents I have to serve my family and my community. 🫶🏽

The question then becomes: how do I figure out what’s important to me? How do I evaluate my decisions, goals, and dreams? I built a tool for that called the Values-Based Decision Matrix. You can find it on my website under Free Tools: yourkeyoflife.com/matrix

After you get that clarity, then it’s time to start walking — taking that first step — towards your dream. No more waiting, no more deliberation nor hesitation. Action aligned with your values is the perfect formula to lead to progress.

If you need help navigating your next step towards your dreams, DM me or comment here. 🌞 And if you’re ready to start walking alongside someone else for accountability, I got you — our fall cohort of Mindset Groups starts Oct 9 and the early bird enrollment starts August 14th.

Do you want to be made well?

That’s the question sitting at the center of the essay I’ve been working on. It sounds simple until you actually sit with it.

This one is about mindset, healing, and why the person guiding someone through it has to take their own beliefs just as seriously as the person they’re helping.

For years I thought the problem was that I didn’t want it badly enough.

I’d decide on a Sunday that this was the week I finally journaled every morning, and then Tuesday would show up and I’d be standing in my kitchen with a cold cup of tea, deciding all over again whether today was really the day. Some mornings I won that argument, plenty of mornings I didn’t, and then I’d spend the rest of the day quietly disappointed in myself over ten minutes of writing.

What changed was small enough that it almost felt like cheating. I stopped leaving the decision for the morning and started anchoring it to something I’m already doing without thinking about it! If I’m up at 6, I journal for 10 minutes before anything else. When I get to work, the first thing I do is write down my top 3 tasks.

The part I couldn’t fit in this short video is what happens after you write the sentence, which is that you say it to one person who is going to ask you about it. In Mindset Groups everyone has a partner, and every day you post the one thing you’re doing to move your goal forward and then you come back and say you did it. It sounds almost too small to matter, and it’s the whole reason these hold, because once the sentence lives somewhere outside your own head you can’t quietly renegotiate it at 6 in the morning.

Tell me one thing you keep meaning to start and write it to me as an if -then in the comments. I’ll come back and ask you about it, which is exactly the point. 😉

There is a specific kind of quiet that happens right before a group of people who barely know each other decide to say what they actually want… I have learned to listen for it. It usually shows up a few minutes in, after the introductions and just before somebody says something they were not planning to say out loud. 🫶🏽

Most of us carry our goals privately for years. We rehearse them, shrink them, decide they are too big or too late or too much to admit to. So when someone finally says one in front of other people, the whole thing changes shape. It stops living only in your head and starts living in a room with witnesses who will ask you about it next week.

That is most of what a cohort actually does during the stretch of weeks we have together. We use a framework I developed that holds the structure, and week to week, you have a group of people who remember what you said you were going to do.

Fall enrollment opens soon. 🔜 Get on the list at yourkeyoflife.com so you hear first and catch the early bird rate!

Happy Weekend ahead!!

Eight weeks of showing up together starts tomorrow morning! There’s a particular kind of quiet excitement in the day before a group begins, and I’m sitting in it right now. I’m proud of everyone who said yes to themselves this round! If you want in on the next one, drop a comment or send me a DM. 💜

If you keep saying no to the opportunities that could actually move you forward, how do you expect things to change?

Give yourself a chance to shine. Say yes! Join the Mindset Groups summer cohort and start seeing real movement in your life. Here’s how it works: you bring any goal you want, we run it through the Values-Based Decision Matrix to make sure it’s truly aligned with you, and then we build a plan to tackle it over 8 weeks. Your accountability partner and the group (capped at 8, so it stays close) cheer you on and help you troubleshoot anytime you get stuck.

We’ve been running these groups for almost a year now, and our members have a 95% success rate of meeting or exceeding the goals they set. 🙌🏽

You already know what to do. You’ve read the books, saved the posts, made the plans. What’s been missing isn’t more information… it’s the support that helps you actually follow through.

So I built the thing I once needed for myself: a small accountability group grounded in the research on why community is so vital for real commitment and lasting change. Our summer cohort starts this Friday, and there’s still time for you to join us.

Commit to the group today and you’ll get a bonus gift too. Though something tells me you didn’t need the gift to know this is your moment. 😊 Investing in your growth is the lever that turns intention into real, tangible PROGRESS, and this program is designed so you can feel it clearly within 8 weeks.

I stand behind this fully with a 14-day money back guarantee if it isn’t the right fit, and so far not a single person has asked for their money back. What I do have is members who keep coming back, and a 95% success rate of people reaching or even exceeding the goals they set. People have had all sorts of goals — personal, creative, professional, health — and seen it work across the board.

Feeling stuck and not sure where to even begin? That in-between place is more common than you think, and it usually means you’re closer to a breakthrough than you realize.

Here’s what tends to actually move the needle: accountability. When you have someone in your corner keeping you consistent, research shows that your follow-through more than doubles, and it climbs even higher when it’s something you’ve chosen to invest in. Progress stops feeling like willpower and starts feeling like support…

So the real question is, do you know which growth stage you’re in right now? 🌱 I put together a quiz to help you find out, and it only takes a couple of minutes. Head to https://yourkeyoflife.com/quiz to take it.

We have 3 seats left in the Mindset Groups summer cohort, and we begin this Friday, July 24th. If you’re ready to stop guessing and start growing alongside people who get it, comment “Blossom” below and I’ll send you something to make this experience even sweeter.

Here’s what I keep coming back to: the disruption wasn’t the worst part. The worst part was the split second where I almost let it decide whether I’d keep going.

I didn’t, though, and that choice to secure things and show up again turned out to be the exact lesson I teach about procrastination and confidence. We freeze when things go wrong, and the way forward is one small step taken before you feel ready.

That’s what tonight is about. Stop Procrastinating, Build Real Confidence, 7 PM EST (new link in comments). If knowing what to do has never been your problem, but doing it is, this is for you. Link in my bio to register, and there’s a free bonus for everyone who joins live.

What’s one thing you’ve been putting off? Tell me in the comments, sometimes just naming it out loud is the first step.

The thing nobody tells you about a wide open Saturday is how heavy it gets by four in the afternoon. All that room you thought you wanted, and the one thing you actually care about is still sitting there untouched, and now you’re tired and a little ashamed and you tell yourself you’ll get to it tomorrow.

I lived in that loop for years. I read the books, I made the lists, I kept waiting to become the kind of person who just does the thing. What finally moved me was a lot less romantic than that. It was a standing Friday, a handful of people who knew what I said I’d do, and one person in between who’d ask me how it went.

Here’s what surprised me. Being asked helped. Being the one who asks helped more. Something about holding someone else’s goal carefully makes you start treating your own the same way.

Tomorrow I’m teaching an hour on what’s actually happening when you stall, and how to build the kind of structure that makes starting feel ordinary. It’s free, it’s live, and it’s the groundwork my Mindset Groups cohort opens with next Friday.
