"I'll start Monday." will you tho? 👀

“Change that garden if you don’t like it. Rip it out and you start all over again.”

- Martha Stewart (from her new doc on Netflix which is a must watch for the business baddies)

​

I’ve always found it so odd that tauruses have a reputation of being resistant to change. Are we resistant to change or are we resistant to your unsolicited suggestions on how we should change?

Obviously I’d stand firm with the latter, like the stubborn bull that I am.

If you’ve been here a while then you know these past couple of years have been all about change; some of my own fruition and some cloaked as a gut-punch directly from the Universe.

Truth be told, I’ve always been a fan of change. I was the kid that reorganized their bedroom with the seasons, I’ve lived in too many cities on too many continents to count at this point, and I’ve been known to drop a man with the quickness (and mae that never change 🙏🏾).

2024 for me has been a year of ripping out my internal garden. Stripping my mind and ego of anything they thought to be true.

January 1st I set out on a mission to move purely off of feeling instead having to intellectualize every little thing (#traumabelike).

I’m here to tell you that it fucking worked. We’ll get deep into it one day on a podcast, but for now, just know that I have never felt so proud of myself in my life and my intuition has never been sharper.

This year I ate foods that I felt my body wanted. I only took on work that felt uplifting. I spent time with people that my body felt good around (until they didn’t feel good anymore). And in between, I released a lot of attachments to habits, energies, and beliefs that were no longer serving me, nor the woman that I want to be.

The end result? I feel FREE and above all, I feel faithful. Faithful that everything is always working for my higher good. Faithful that I’m always protected because my heart is pure. And above all, faith in knowing that I’m the greatest to ever do it.

Idk what’s up with you for 2025 or what you’re calling in, but here are some ways I’m closing out the year and making space for change.

1. Watch. I’ve had some really great Netflix moments this month. I loved both The Perfect Couple and A Man in Full (seeing Jeff Daniels again maed my heart ache for The Newsroom).
2. Clean. I have like 26 unread emails and it pains me in ways many won’t understand. I’ll be sitting down for a thorough cleaning before the year’s over. (Here’s how I keep my shit clean, or what my homie Mychal calls, The Mae Method).
3. Learn. I’m hosting a workshop this Saturday with 20+ women from all over the world. I’m going to teach you how I navigated whatever tf 2024 has been using AI as a life coach of sorts. Puh-lease don’t sleep on the power of using AI in your personal life.
4. Receive. Getting a full body massage from this sexy ass brolic ass Colombian man omg. Some of you on this email list know exactly who I’m talking about and — okay lemme stay focused. Basically, treat yourself to some pampering. Can’t swing a full body massage? Get a 30-minute foot massage instead.
5. Appreciate. I fell off from my gratitude practice and now that I’m back in it, idk how that even happened (but again, 2024 be like). Is there a practice that you abandoned? An activity that you’re missing? If so, show yourself some love by bringing it back. Future You is begging for it.

I had a wonderful call today with a wonderful human who remarked that I seem so at peace and I’m not gonna lie, it felt good to be acknowledged in that way from someone I respect.

2024 has felt like a culmination of all my life’s lessons and good deeds. An ending of sorts (and what an ending it has been).

As you get ready for what I hope is another year of belly laughs, love, hugs, new friends, and solo walks in the park, I hope you make time to say thank you to you. Thank you for all that you do for others and most importantly, all that you do for yourself.

And if you didn’t do a good job of putting yourself first this year, this is a friendly reminder that you can’t feel different if you don’t do different.

And if you forget, I’m sure I’ll remind you. 😏

I’ll be back before the year’s over. Until then…

Stay kind,
