    Jul 7 2025

    Most days, we’re too busy to ask ourselves how we actually feel. We just keep moving, ignoring the frustration, burnout, or tiny moments of joy that slip by unnoticed. But what would happen if you tracked your mood every single day? In this episode, I share what happened when I tracked my mood every day for a month, the patterns I didn’t expect to find, and how a simple five-point scale taught me more about happiness than any self-help book ever has.

  • You Have No Excuse Not To Do This
    Jun 30 2025

    It’s not a lack of information that’s holding you back. It’s not your schedule, or your inbox, or the algorithm.

In this episode, I unpack why doing something small every day matters way more than going big once in a while.
