That Lights You Up!

Hiya to the new fireflies who joined from the Slacker Hacks Summit!

I created a new Glow Check resource and I'm SO excited for you to give it a whirl!

Hi Reader!

Summer mode is officially activated in our house.

We have wrapped up our school year and I'm feeling a sense of relief that we've crossed an energetic finish line.

Navigating everyone's feelings of doing the work, having it feel like a pressure to stay on top of was wearing me out on multiple facets of my glow.

The learning is still happening over the summer, but I can tackle it with a different identity and reclaim control on the momentum.

Not everything that's whirling you around has a finish line. But we can take an energetic reset and reclaim the way we move forward.

So that things feel more 'flywheel', less 'hamster wheel'.

We can use any moment to create a pivot, but psychologically we are primed to connect it with the 'start' of something-

Start of summer, start of the week, month or year. Even the New Moon phase is suggested.

It can be the start of no longer tolerating the way things are going.

Anything that pulls us toward initiative action.

​My walk streak started at the beginning of the month in order to finish something strong. (And since it's hitting 2,000 days on Thursday...)

​

Reset and Reclaim

While it feels tempting to jump into something when the feelings are strong, we simply aren't setting ourselves up for success.

Honestly, how many times has that worked out well for you?

If you are feeling the hamster wheel, it's time to pause a do a Glow Check.

To notice where your capacity is stretched, where friction is fraying and your energy is discombobulated or just dried up.

It takes a little as 60-seconds.

After one minute, walk away feeling clearer, calmer, and more connected to what your energy actually needs right now.

✔️ Name what your energy is asking for
✔️ Notice where you’re glowing—and where you’re dimming
✔️ Feel more grounded, clear, and in tune with yourself

No journaling, no pressure—just a moment of self-trust in the middle of your busy day.

What's Your Glow Need?

Your Adventure of the Week

As we cruise into the next season, before you start anything new, take a moment and check in to see what you really need.

Maybe it's a dose of play (it is Let's Play May after all)

But you won't know for sure until you pause long enough to ask yourself.

Ask yourself-

• What kind of hamster wheel am I on this week?
• What is something I'm really ready to end?
• How will relief from that pressure make feel?
• How prepared do I feel for what's about to start?
• What do I truly need to feel like things are in flow rather than WTF?

Reader, if life has felt a hamster wheel, and you'd REALLY like to get off...

This 1-minute Glow Check-In will help you reconnect to you.

Start Your Glow Check

It’s a gentle way to see what part of your energy is thriving, what’s asking for attention, and what’s quietly waiting for your care.

You’ll walk away with a clearer sense of what’s next—without pressure, just presence.

✨ Because when your Glow is on… life starts to flow.

p.s. I hinted that I'm up to something BIG in the background of juggling 'all the things' in my IG stories this week. If you're curious, 👀 my bio link.
