My from-h@#$ pregnancies killed my $2.12M business and my client list with Tony Robbins on it. This time, everything gets built "pregnancy-proof," so my life and business thrive on 60 min/day. Steal the playbook as I build it.
i'm currently running a marathon
|
◼
the gist: mind > matter
my marathon starts at 6am MST. so depending on where you are in the world right now — i'm running. send good vibes. send prayers. send both. i've mentioned my feet have been hurting. and for a while. after a 16-mile run four weeks ago, i could hardly walk the rest of the day. then two weeks ago i did 20 miles. my feet started acting up mid-run, and i just started gaslighting myself: "my feet hurt, but they're getting ready for the 35. they're expanding to take on the load. they're right on track." i repeated that for five miles. then they stopped hurting. and after the run? they didn't hurt either. this year, i went down a real rabbit hole into dr. ellen langer's work. she's a harvard psychologist who's spent four decades running studies on how much your mind affects your physical health — and some of the results are genuinely wild. it was the first time i thought: my mindset might have a real effect on my pregnancies. not just how i cope with them. how i actually experience them. so the goal today is: don't be dumb. but be a mental fortress. and cross that dang finish line. ◼
the part i almost cut: every time i finish a mile on a long run, i clap three times and cheer for myself. out loud. where people can see me. i am still embarrassed about it. but the good vibes that surge through my body post-congratulatory cheer fully outweigh the blushing. so: cheer on!!
borrow my running mantra if you want. i say it every time i cross a street: "this is who i am. i feel great. i love the stretch. the stretch is home. that's why i am at peace. this is the game. the game is becoming. and it's normal for me to win. i am a winner." it's race time, baby. ◼
same time tomorrow: money's got a type (guess who)
we just keep getting better, kjl |
I WANT ALL THE BABIES AND ALL THE MONEY.

◼ the gist: verdict is still out alright. maria wendt has an instagram ad strategy that goes like this: post organic content if it pops, run ads to it now that content keeps bringing you followers long after the algorithm stops you're essentially making your highest-converting content evergreen. i LOVE this. it feels very pregnancy-proof — pieces from a year ago could still bring me followers, cheap. maria's team is acquiring followers for $0.50–$1.00. which is great, especially if you're...
◼ the gist: my crying prayer maybe this is TMI. sharing it anyway. i recently posted a video about miscarriage. i didn't want to. i felt prompted by God to do it, so i did. it blew up. 72.3K views. then God put it heavier on my heart to talk about miscarriage. 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage, and somehow we still don't know how to talk about it. i guess everyone also eventually dies and we don't know how to talk about that either. trauma is just hard. then a memory of miscarrying came...
◼ the gist: the law of averages is brutal alrighty. first of all: this is unreal. sept 1–13: 1.53M views. +793 followers.aug 17–31: 13,375 views. -1 follower. i'm 25 days into posting for real, REALLY going for it. i don't know everything. but i'm starting to get the tiniest glimpse of how this game is played. the biggest insight? the devastating law of averages. i post about 8 pieces of content a day. the goal is for ONE to pop off. sometimes not even that happens. last friday, the reel that...
