Hey there. Social media isn’t what it used to be. Instagram’s recent decision to remove hashtag following is just another example of how platforms are prioritizing algorithms over authentic connection. I miss the days when we could curate our feeds, discover new creators, and foster real community without the algorithm dictating everything.
That’s why I’m focusing on platforms like email and podcasting. These are places where connection can still feel personal and intentional. without the noise on social. I think taking stock of not only how much time we spend on social, but also observing how our mind and emotions feel while on it, we can find our best mix of time on and off our phones.

Hey there. Fitness doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, the simpler it is, the easier it is to stick with it.
Hey there. Being happy at any size and healthy at your size are two separate but deeply connected ideas.
Over time, I’ve realized that success isn’t about hitting every target, it’s about showing up and adapting as needed. Remember, your journey is about the long game, not the short-term wins. Be proud of what you’re doing, even on the tough days.
Focusing on your own process doesn’t mean shutting out the world, it’s about creating a “mental bubble” to protect your mindset. Surround yourself with supportive people, but remember, your results come from your actions, not theirs. Stay consistent, stay self-aware, and most importantly, stay connected to yourself.
