Morning Brew: Birthday Rituals

Do you ever feel like there’s never enough time—like you’re always rushing, catching up, and still falling behind? That’s time poverty, and I’ve lived it too. In this episode I am sharing the five simple shifts that helped me move from feeling time-starved to experiencing what I call time abundance. These aren’t about cramming more into your day—they’re about reclaiming your energy, presence, and peace. If you’re ready to stop racing the clock and start living your time, this conversation is for you.

“True wisdom isn’t in knowing all the answers, but trusting yourself to handle whatever comes.”

Last week we talked about the habits that hold us back — the ones that quietly keep us stuck. And you know me, I believe every coin has two sides. Which means… if there are habits that drain us, there are also habits that can lift us up.So today, we’re flipping that coin. I’m sharing seven super-simple habits that can transform your day — not months from now, but in just a matter of days. Think of these as micro-shifts, not major life overhauls. Habits you can weave into your routine without adding extra hours, but that create real clarity, energy, and momentum.Join Thrive 2025: https://leadingyourself.my.canva.site/thrive2025

Today, I want to talk about something we all wrestle with — habits. But not the good ones like drinking water, moving your body, or journaling. I’m talking about the sneaky habits that keep us stuck.And here’s the tricky part — these habits don’t always look ‘bad.’ Some of them masquerade as hard work, high standards, or just being realistic. But if you zoom out, you realize they’re the very things holding you back from growth, peace, and progress.So today we’re going to unpack 8 habits that keep you stuck — and more importantly, how to start breaking free from them.Because here’s what I know: your future doesn’t change until your habits do.Join Thrive 2025: https://leadingyourself.my.canva.site/thrive2025
