Blueprint Breakers

If you’re not religious… but you still believe… what exactly do you believe in?

Welcome to this Bonus Day of Reflection: Faith.

This is the part of my lifestyle blueprint that’s quiet.
Not because it’s unimportant—because it’s complicated.

I was raised Catholic. I followed the rules. I found comfort in the structure.
But as life got more complex, that framework didn’t quite fit anymore.
Still… I’ve always believed...

Let’s talk about the future—the part of the blueprint I’ve been quietly avoiding.

💬 What happens when you’ve spent your life embracing the now… but the next still feels murky?

This is Day 5 of Reflection, and today I’m getting real about the one category I’ve struggled with most: Future.

For me, it’s the tough stuff:
💸 Finances.
🕰️ Retirement.
🏠 Stability.
🌀 And the emotional weight of asking: Is my life a...

Let’s talk about fun—real, grown-ass-woman FUN.

Not the kind we’re told we should be having…
Not the kind we had in our 20s that left us hungover and hollow.
But the kind that fills us up. Grounds us. Makes us feel alive.

✨ This is Day 4 of Reflection, and today I’m exploring how my definition of fun has evolved—and why it matters more now than ever.

In my third act, fun looks a lot like:
🎶 Singing along to music from my chi...

What the f*ck is fulfillment, anyway?

Is it a job title? A bank balance? A certain kind of relationship?
Or is it something deeper—something we feel when our life finally lines up with our truth?

Welcome to Day 3 of Reflection—and today, we’re talking fulfillment:

💥 Purpose
💥 Impact
💥 Meaning

For me, fulfillment has never been about following the expected path.
It’s been about building a mission from scratch—...

Let’s talk about fitness—but not just the kind you track on a watch.

Today’s reflection is about whole-body wellness—physical, emotional, and mental health—especially as we enter new chapters and new realities.

Lately, fitness for me isn’t just about energy or strength.
It’s about navigating more doctor visits, more tests, and more unknowns—with as much calm and clarity as I can muster.

This season of life is asking me to take my h...

💬 Family
