The Pre-Separation Prep The work begins before the work begins 1. Set Your Sacred Intention Before the challenge opens, get clear on why you're here. Ask yourself: - What am I ready to separate from? - What has this pattern cost me — in energy, time, opportunities, peace? - What becomes possible on the other side of this? Write it down. Date it. Seal it. You'll return to this on Day 30. 2. Create Your Sacred Space Designate a physical space that belongs to this work for the next 30 days. It doesn't need to be elaborate. It needs to be intentional. Gather: - 🕯️ A candle - 📓 A dedicated journal — new if possible. This journal is only for Summer of Separation. - 🃏 A tarot or oracle deck if you have one - 💧 A glass of water — hydration supports nervous system regulation during deep work - Anything else that signals to your subconscious: this is sacred space The ritual of returning to the same space daily is part of the reprogramming. 3. The Honest Inventory Before we go deep, we get honest about what's actually there. Journaling prompts to complete before July 1: - What patterns do I keep repeating that I'm tired of? - Where in my life do I feel stuck, heavy, or disconnected? - What have I been avoiding looking at? - What emotion lives just beneath the surface most days? - Where am I performing growth instead of embodying it? Don't rush these. Sit with each one. What comes up first is usually the truth. 4. The Digital Detox Window Designate the first 30 minutes of your morning as phone-free starting now — not July 1. Now. This single habit begins retraining your nervous system and attention before the challenge even opens. You're already separating. You're already practicing. 5. Audit Your Inputs For the next few days before July 1, pay attention to what you're consuming: - What content are you absorbing? - What conversations are you having? - What are you listening to first thing in the morning? You don't need to overhaul everything. Just notice. Awareness before action is always the first step in subconscious work.

Summer of Separation Experience Day 1 Exercise Exercise What keeps showing up? Write out every area of your life and business where you feel stuck, frustrated, or like you're hitting the same wall repeatedly. For each one ask: How long has this been happening? I WILL GO FIRST What keeps showing up? I have been clearing cobwebs on me showing up. This is showing up for myself everywhere. Using my voice. Expressing myself fully. The Subconscious Regression unlocked it. However, I had to remove to residual self doubt. Write out every area of your life and business where you feel stuck, frustrated, or like you're hitting the same wall repeatedly. Sitting with this and from my perspective, all these areas have been impacted by how I was NOT showing up for myself. Meaning, hiding or kind of putting myself out there versus just saying Fuck it! Here I am. For each one ask: How long has this been happening? Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, shiiiiiiiiiiiit, lol I am being silly you all. Seriously. It has been happening since third grade. I recall back then bearing witness to a young lady judging another young lady giving a presentation and how I was like uh uh, I am not going to have anyone say anything about me. (Silly me) Now I know, no matter what you do or do not do, if MF want talk about you. They will do that. lol Anyway, it is wild because the year prior, I was so GEEKED for Young Author's Day and getting up sharing my story with the class and parents. Things can shift quickly. YOUR TURN GUYS, This is loving a supportive space. Now, if I dig into you a bit, it is only in love and if I feel it is necessary. Also, feel free to chime in and ask me questions. Excited for the start and how we will be at the end.

Tomorrow ... Summer of Separation begins. Take some time today to sit with this: What are you tired of living with? The patterns. The behaviors. The limitations that — deep down — you know were never yours to begin with. Yet somehow they've taken up residence in your life, your decisions, your business, your sense of self. Quietly consuming more than they were ever entitled to. Tomorrow we start the work of letting them go. Of separating from them — for good. This is what the Summer of Separation is about. Not surface-level shifts. The kind that actually sticks. So between now and tomorrow — feel into it. Don't rush to an answer. Just let the question sit with you: What is ready to be released? We dive in tomorrow. If you have any questions before we begin drop them below. 👇🏽 See you on the other side. ✨
