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. And then I have the pieces I actually wear. The comfy, well-worn jeans. Neither is wrong. Most of us have a “future self closet”, not just in our wardrobe, but in our lives. The habits we want to have. And then there’s who we are on autopilot: The overthinking. People don’t get stuck because they’re unmotivated. They get stuck because the identity they feel drawn to requires choices they haven’t practiced making yet.Becoming the next version of yourself isn’t about throwing out everything that’s comfortable. To name her. And then, with support, practicing choices that align with her Not perfectly or instantly, but with the kind of steady awareness that makes real change possible. If something in you feels ready for a shift, this one-page check-in helps you see the patterns you’ve outgrown and the version of you that’s starting to emerge.
If anything stood out to you, reply and let me know. I’m always curious what comes to mind for you. Jenine

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:I’ve been showing up. I’ve been trying....
“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...
