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:

• Why every major breakthrough in business comes from mindset shifts, not new strategies
• The five game-changing mindset shifts that have given me more hope and excitement for my business than I've had in years
• How I'm implementing these shifts in my own business for 2025
• A simple journaling exercise to help you start adopting these mindset shifts today

The beautiful truth that changed everything for me? My success isn't something I can finally pursue when I'm "good enough," "healthy enough," or "worthy enough." It's a plan for right now—for me exactly as I am.

The Five Mindset Shifts:

1. "You are a masterpiece, just as you are" — Embracing the truth that you were created on purpose, for a purpose, exactly as you are
2. "Grant grace, embrace the pace" — Letting go of expectations and accepting that your journey will look different
3. "Your body is your #1 business strategy" — Prioritizing your health isn't just self-care, it's strategic business planning
4. "Objectives over deadlines" — Moving away from rigid SMART goals to flexible objectives that honor your body's unpredictability
5. "Create your own path" — Recognizing that not every framework will work for your unique needs and finding peace in creating your own way

In this episode, I share how these mindset shifts have transformed how I approach my business, including letting myself wake up naturally, scheduling calls only in afternoon hours, and designing a planner setup that finally works for me.

Ready to shift your own mindset? I share a simple journaling exercise to help you start replacing old stories with new ones that honor both your ambitions and your reality.

Remember: These mindset shifts aren't about perfection—they're about progress.

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. Your worth stands on its own.

What You'll Learn:

• How the "more equals worth" mindset can shape everything (including destroying your health)
• Why living with chronic illness makes productivity-based value a special kind of torture
• A powerful perspective shift I discovered during my "sloth era"
• How embracing your limitations can lead to MORE focused, sustainable, and impactful work
• Two practical tools to help you break free from the lie that your worth is tied to productivity

When you stop trying to earn your worth through constant doing, you create space to discover how you can serve from a place of being—and that, friend, is where the magic happens.
