When you’re tired of “doing all the right things”

Hi Reader, I was single in New York City when Sex and the City was at its most popular, so for me it wasn’t really a comedy, more like a weekly dramedy with enviable shoes. But there’s one Charlotte quote that always pops into my mind when I’m tired and putting in the work: “I’ve been dating since I was 15. I’m exhausted! Where is he?” Whether it’s dating, business, or just trying to feel satisfied in our lives, we all hit those moments where we think: And it’s exhausting. This time of year, that tiredness comes to the surface even more because of the extra commitments, the reflection of the past year, the “shouldn’t I be further along?” thoughts. It’s a lot. None of us are immune. I see moments like this show up it for clients, friends and myself. I’ve learned: If you’re feeling tired, let it be information, not the final chapter. Every time I honor the tired and take the step, a little win shows up as a bit of momentum or an unexpected opportunity. If you’re feeling tired or uncertain about what’s next, find your version of a cheesy yet comforting seasonal love story, and then choose your next small step. Jenine

We all have that "heels or Birkenstocks" moment. The choice between who we've always been and who we're becoming. Hi Reader, If I look in my closet, there’s a clear discrepancy. I have pieces I bought because they felt like the perfect elevated casual outfit. The version of me who looks put together but still comfortable. The one who shows up with a little more intention but it looks (and actually feels) effortless. And then I have the pieces I actually wear. The comfy, well-worn jeans.The...
“Thanks! I got it on sale.”“Are you kidding? You’re the one who’s gorgeous.”“It was just luck.”“No thanks. I’ve got it.”(Mentally planning how you can reciprocate...) Reader, Do any of these sound familiar? Why can receiving feel so difficult or awkward? Whether it’s a compliment, an offer, or a gift, how we respond says a lot about our inner stories. Maybe we’ve been made to feel guilty for taking, taught to be humble, or built our self-sufficiency so we never need to receive. All of those...
Hi Reader, What was the last mistake you made?Was it an experienced mistake or an inexperienced one? All "mistakes" are not the same. Some mistakes make us think, Yikes, I should know better. I’ve done this before. I know the pattern. (Experienced.)But others are new. The “mistake” comes from inexperience. You've never done this before. We expect teens and kids to make inexperienced choices.They’re learning, experimenting, figuring things out. But as adults, we start expecting ourselves to be...
