feel you so hard on trying not to measure success and set yourself up for failure, it's so hard when your brain is already telling you your worst fears. but you're here, you're doing it, and that's something to celebrate. cheers to another year, happy to be along for the ride!

Thank you! On completely, you can be your own worst enemy sometimes and directing negative self talk to yourself never helps. An ounce of self compassion goes a long way. Grateful that you're here ✨

Thank you! ✨ Absolutely, sometimes you just have to create your own magic... or at least fan the flames a little!
