6 questions that will make ya THINK😳

a 15-minute guided journaling session for motivation, reflection, & CLARITY.

Hello, hello from the Coast of Maine!

As you may remember, my little fam has been roadtripping around the East Coast (gluten-free lobster rolls 4ever plz), and one thing I *always* travel with is my journal. Every trip. Every location. Every time.

But, today, as I sat down to do some writing and reflect on my year so far (um, somehow it’s September?!), I felt the CLEAR desire to invite you, my substack fam, into the moment— and here we are.

Say hello to a 15-minute guided journaling session to get *clarity* on the last 4 months of the year!

I’m not quite sure how it’s ALREADY fall, but in the post-summer glow I always find myself feeling more grounded, more focused, and more intentional than my carefree summer days.

I personally find entering the last quarter of the year to be particularly impactful (September has such a motivating “back to school” energy, doesn’t it???).

Because, let’s face it, despite our best intentions, that motivated January 1st naturally wanes throughout the year— but we can reclaim I personally find reflecting on the last quarter of the year to be an impactful way to actually accomplish the goals I set at the start of 2023.

So, today, we’re gonna do just that!

In this judgment-free 15-20 minute guided journaling exercise, we’ll dig into a few writing prompts about finishing the last quarter of the year strong.

Because, the reality is….

You don’t need January 1st, a Monday, or a blank page to begin again.

There’s SO much you can get done in four months — whether it’s your reading goal, your finances, or your health goals (psssst…I just reopening my Foundations of Wellbeing 8-week health program if you need a lil boost. Learn more HERE. We start this Sunday!),

You can start RIGHT NOW and finish the year strong — you just need to take a few moments to get to the root of where you are and where you want to be, and the actions steps that’ll take you from Point A to Point B. And my hope is that these journaling prompts will help you do just that. 

Prompts will include: 

• An inventory exercise to help you identify all you’ve accomplished this year

• A down-to-earth look at the truth of where you are right now, and of where you want to be

• A reconnection with your WHY— what do you really want? And has that changed?

• An identification of where you could be December 31st of this year.

• A guide to list action steps to help you reach those end-of-year goals

• And more!

If you aren’t where you hoped you would be (or even if you are!), this can be SUCH a powerful time to reflect on what you HAVE done, reconsider what you’d like to accomplish before December 31st rolls around, and re-inspire you that there actually *is* so much time left in the year to make progress.

So, let’s do it!

Grab a pen, some paper, and I will walk you through 6 specific prompts to illuminate how this year has really gone, what’s going well, and what’s standing in the way of you being exactly where you want to be. 

^^In this 15-minute video, I journal right alongside you! I had a few VERY powerful insights from these prompts, and I am confident you’ll have the same ;)

a lot can happen in 4 months—

It may sound too simple, but grabbing your journal and taking just 15 minutes to reconnect with your goals, your “why”, and your ambitions can be the exact boost you need to finish the year strong.

This could be the difference between feeling PROUD orrrr blah when December 31st rolls around

Just 15 minutes of intention could be the catalyst.

“one thing I want to focus on is my health…”

We all have different ambitions— career goals, reading goals, home renovation goals, etc. Whatever YOU are called to focus on the rest of the year, do that!

But….. if you are particularly wanting to improve your HEALTH in this final stretch of the year (anyone feeling like they need a lil reset after summer festivities?😅🍔🍹), I have news for you…

For a limited time (ahem, just a few days), I’m reopening the doors to my signature 8-week health program, The Foundations of Wellbeing! Eeeee, this is my FAVORITE thing I offer. I love seeing everyday women transform their health.

This is a step-by-step course (plus WEEKLY live group health coaching and support from me on zoom) to teach you the most foundational, impactful, most-bang-for-your-buck healthy habits for YOUR life… *and* how to stick to them.

Spots will be limited, so make sure you jump on it here ⬇️⬇️⬇️

If you want to learn more about the Foundations of Wellbeing (zero pressure!), you can peek at the curriculum at the bottom of this email, but regardless, my MAIN POINT of sending this email was just to spend a little quality journaling time together and gettin’ our ish together before fall goes full-speed ahead ◡̈

After putting pen to paper, I am confident you’ll have some tangible insights on where you’ve been so far this year (… but more importantly where you are going, *wink*)

You’ve got this!

A PEEK AT THE 8-WEEK CURRICULUM:

  • The HOW behind “healthy eating”. Tangible tips on how to make eating healthy realistic, cooking ideas, hydration hacks, simple swaps for blood sugar regulation, weight management, etc.

• WEEK 3: “REST”

  • This one is alllll about sleep – how to get deeper, more restful, more rejuvenating sleep, WHY sleep matters (weight, hormones, etc.), optimal wake/sleep times, holistic hacks for sleep, etc.

• WEEK 4: “MOVE”

• WEEK 5: “RESTORE”

  • This module is all about stress management, self-care, curating purposeful morning routines, intentional evening routine, holistic ideas for stress management, meditation, etc.

• WEEK 6: “UPGRADE”

  • Okay, we’ve learned it – but how do we STICK with it? This module is all about making a plan, setting goals, how to *actually* be consistent, prioritizing, habit stacking, etc. This is where we go from an 8-week course to a LIFESTYLE of healthy choices
