A Calm Day… Finally

6:30 mornings, steady energy, and boundaries that actually stick

Today was just… chill.

In the best way.

I got up at 6:30 this morning—which is new for me.

Usually it’s 7:30 and I’m rushing to get out the door.

Did my (NAD day—my favorite day of the week), started my vlog, but didn’t even get a chance to edit it before I had to head out.

Dropped my son off at school, went straight to Life Time, sat in the sauna, then went over to the clinic for my treatment.

Ran a couple errands after that, picked up the dog, grabbed my son from Life Time, and then headed into my office.

I had two clients today.

And something I keep noticing…

The more calm I am, the better my work is.

Like everything just flows easier.

And watching my clients settle in and relax with me like that—it’s different.

You can feel it.

And lately… clients are referring their parents, their kids—pretty much their whole families to me.

I’ve never felt so blessed in my entire life.

Before I left the salon, I did all the usual—laundry, disinfecting, cleaning everything up.

Then I went back to Life Time for yoga.

And somehow… I’ve also been doing laundry at home throughout the day too.

So yeah—still a full day, just not chaotic.

But before I end this, I want to say something real.

Working on my memoir has been bringing up a lot.

Stuff I thought I was past… and maybe I am, but it still hits sometimes.

At the same time, I’ve been putting real boundaries in place.

And I’m noticing something…

I don’t shake anymore.

I stand in what I’m saying.

I ask questions.

I care.

I actually try to understand people.

I notice patterns, I notice behaviors, and I’ll ask about them—not to push, but because I genuinely want to respect you as a person.

I don’t like assuming things.

I’m a question person.

I don’t avoid.

It’s actually the opposite.

And somewhere in all of that… it hit me.

I started getting emotional.

Not sad—just… overwhelmed in a different way.

I had tears coming out of my eyes because I’m actually proud of the woman I’m becoming.

And that’s new for me.

Yeah… sometimes I still get caught off guard.

But I’m not shrinking back from it anymore.

Because I’m finally realizing…

I should be getting the same respect I give.

And I’m not lowering that anymore.
