As the week starts, I’ve been reflecting on themes that have come up in my personal life, my work, and the moments of stillness in between. Here are three thoughts to carry into the new week:

Simplicity is not a destination; it’s a practice. It’s the ongoing work of clearing space for clarity, aligning with your purpose, and letting your heart breathe. When we live simply, we live freely—not weighed down by the unnecessary but lifted by what truly matters.

We live in a world that glorifies striving—constantly pushing, achieving, and proving our worth. But somewhere along the way, we forget to be kind to the most important person in our lives: ourselves. The pursuit of self-compassion is not a passive act, nor is it a sign of weakness. Rather, it’s an essential practice that allows us to thrive from a place of gentleness and grace.
