Greyson (my 5yo) and I just did our annual vibe boards! They’re kind of like vision boards, but instead of focusing on tangible things we want to manifest, we focused on: - How we want next year to feel - What we want more of in our daily life - What energy we want in our home - What kinds of moments we want to create Greyson’s board is full of nature, adventure, cozy-cabin vibes, and multiple fishing lures lol. Mine is bright, floral, carefree, calm... (Can you tell which is which? lol) And honestly? It was SUCH a good reminder that while the tangible outcomes of our goals (more money, more leads, that new house, dream vaca...) matter to us, the EMOTION behind those goals is the real driving force. Which leads me to next week… Starting Monday, we’re doing a cozy 3-day challenge here in The Cold Coffee Club to help you map out your year in a way that actually supports your life — not competes with it. Just a simple, grounded approach to: - seeing your whole year at a glance - choosing what matters - and building a plan that fits your real life The first training drops on Monday. (Nothing else needed from you! You get free access just by being in this group.) I DO have homework for you, though. 😏 Your homework this weekend is to start noticing the energy you want in your 2026.The feelings.The rhythms.The emotions behind your goals. Can’t wait to do this with you!

Remember that bundle I was so nervous (I mean...excited!) about? It opened 2 days ago, and already I've added 26 people to my email list! Because my list was so small to begin with, my growth looks insane, but I'm still riding the waves of excitement. Here's hoping at least a few of those people opt into my free webinar next week too! Thank you so much to everyone who offered feedback and excitement for my copy and concept!

My office was a mess! I took everything out of the room that was not “absolutely necessary” and it feels so much more doable to return on Monday. What’s your win?

Let’s play with a thought experiment for a minute. A little dramatic… but stay with me... 🔥 What if you burned the pile? You know the one —the mental stack of to-dos, the obligations you said yes to out of guilt, the “shoulds,” the open tabs, the DMs you haven’t replied to, the 4,000 (do I hear 10,000? 30,000?) unread emails you swear you’ll deal with “someday.” What if you piled all of it up…struck a match…and let the whole thing go up in flames? What would happen? Would there be anything in that pile you’d actually miss? Anything truly urgent or essential… OR is most of it just noise you’ve been carrying out of habit? Would anything bad happen if you didn’t respond, fix, finish, or follow up? Or – and this is the real question – would it feel like release? Like creating a clean slate your brain hasn’t felt in years? Sometimes the reason we feel behind isn’t because we’re failing…it’s because we’re dragging around a pile of busywork that doesn’t even belong to us anymore. So today, just imagine: If you burned the pile, what would be lost? And what freedom might you gain? You don’t have to actually set anything on fire (tempting as it is 😅)…but noticing what you would burn tells you a lot about what’s still worth carrying. (Thanks to @Mike Richardson for sparking this reflection by suggesting I burn my own pile lol)

If you want some real feedback from ChatGPT (or your other fav LLM), try this prompt! Share your sales page or record your sales pitch in 90s and upload with this prompt. Fair warning - it can be BRUTAL. Good, honest, fair, sound advice… but brutal lol. PROMPT: Pretend you're a skeptical investor who's heard 1,000 pitches. I have 90 seconds to make you want to hear more about my [OFFER]. After I pitch, you will: 1. Point out every vague phrase I used 2. Ask the ONE question that exposes the biggest hole in my thinking 3. Tell me which part made you check your phone (lost interest or did not understand) 4. Make me re-pitch with 50% fewer words Grill me on: Who exactly am I serving, and why would they choose to pay me instead of using a free or cheaper option? What transformation am I promising — the tangible before → after result, not just features or tools? What gives my offer staying power — what prevents others from copying it easily? What are the real reasons customers leave, don’t buy, or fail to get results? What truth about my business model am I avoiding, denying, or overlooking? Keep making me re-pitch until it's so clear and compelling you'd actually want to learn more. No mercy. No politeness. Just brutal clarity.
