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.
marathon results (missed me?)
|

the gist: legs tired, socials poppin'
hi. you missed me? i missed you. as you can tell, my email newsletter is NOT pregnancy-proofed. one thing at a time. the marathon: goal: 4:45. finish: 5:12. my stomach betrayed me at mile 15 — which it has never once done before. so that was a fun new thing to figure out mid-race. and it was still AWESOME. ◼
the part i almost cut: i cried at mile 17. in the bathroom. again. doing the math and realizing the goal time was gone. but forward we marched!
but here's the actual thing i took from that race. people always say "figure out your why." and every version i tried on — "for my kids!" "impact!" — felt a little fake in my mouth. then somewhere on the run, a podcast said two words: manage yourself. lightning bolts. that was it. not sexy. at all. but it's what my soul actually wants — to have my best self show up in every situation. my two favorite scriptures have always been about exactly this: "o the greatness and the justice of our God! for he executeth all his words" (2 ne 9:17) "i the lord have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and i will do it; i will not go back" (ezekiel 24:14) doing what i said i'd do. the discipline and grit to follow through. that's the whole yearning. and i'm getting better — but i've still got a lot to iron out on making and keeping commitments with myself. so: did i hit my goal time? no. is that okay? yeah. is the 35-miler still on? yeah. 35 miles in my 35th year, baby. new date: november 7. get pumped. ◼
same time tomorrow: fr tho

◼ 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...
