...Hey friend,
Are you constantly checking work messages during doctor’s appointments? Rearranging your entire schedule—again—to accommodate everyone else’s needs? Living in the space between one flare-up and the next, trying to prove that yes, you can still do this, you can still keep up?

Hey friend,
Have you noticed that in January, suddenly everyone begins to post "New Year, New Me" transformation plans while we're over here just trying to get our energy back after the holidays?
If you're curled up under a blanket (possibly still in your pajama bottoms—PJ Squad for the win!), let's talk about how we can make this year feel different in the gentlest, most sustainable way possible.
What You'll Learn:
Hey friend,
Have you ever caught yourself thinking, "If I could just do MORE, I'd be a better wife/friend/daughter/business owner/team player"?
Today, we're going to punch that gremlin in the face. We're going to kick it to the curb, stomp on it some more, and then YEET it into the sun. (Yes, tough love, snarky Jess is at the helm for this one!)
The simple truth is your worth, your value, is not measured or tied to your output. You...
Hey friend,
Have you ever found yourself wrapped in your coziest blanket, your dog nestled beside you, while that familiar voice in your head whispers, "I should get up... I should do the dishes... I should..."?

As entrepreneurs living with chronic illness, we're not pla...
Hey friend,

...
Hey friend,
Are you running your business, or is it running you?
It’s 3 PM. You’re curled up on the couch—heating pad in place, one sock on, one sock off—taking a quick rest before pushing through the rest of your to-do list, even though exhaustion and dizziness are pulling you under.
Sound familiar? Me too.
