Hi friend,

“How’s work?”

WELL! 👀 It’s been a bit of a beast.

And I know I’m not the only one feeling like life is happening at me instead of happening for me.

There are plus or minus 1,000,000 things I could do to “fix” it all—and honestly, thinking about fixing anything right now is exhausting.

But building a business isn’t about solving everything right now, it’s about taking one small, solid step forward—even if you’re moving at a glacial speed and slightly annoyed about it.

What’s your “one small step” this week?

If the to-do list feels infinite and your brain feels fried, pick one thing you can actually do today. Like:

• Revisiting your brand values to make sure they still make sense (you have those, right?!)

• Writing the email you’ve been putting off for months (that person would probably love to hear from you!)

• Publishing the thing, even if it’s not perfect. (Spoiler: It never will be!)

Sometimes, stopping completely is the way to move forward. Try:

• Saying no to the thing you don’t want to do.

• Taking a nap and never apologizing for it.

• Leaving Slack on read and logging off at 3 p.m.

Taking a page out of my spin instructor book to remind you: You’re still moving.

Talk soon,
