I’ll never be someone who waits for later to live the every day things that I want to feel and experience in life. That includes making a generic DC rental feel as cozy and like home as if it were a house that I bought.

Ok but what if getting out of your rut needs you to start doing things before you’re ready? And what if the uncomfy with that outweighs feeling in a rut for yet another year?

Favorite friend tradition is (almost) monthly afternoon tea

You say you want the meet cute, for your neighborhood to feel more like a community or you feel like you’re waiting around for change and aren’t seeing it, but none of these are possible without opening yourself up to having the serendipitous moments and believing that these moments are happening every day right in front of you.

Life in your 30s, serendipity, romanticize your life, life is a rom-com

001 - stop micro-managing the route. the how, the logistics are none of your business.

But your business is to be so crystal clear on the destination so that along the way you know exactly what to say yes and no to. What boundaries to put in place to keep on track.

And when you’re not gripping onto one very specific way it’s “supposed” to happen, you actually have the energy to sit back, listen to your intuition, and feel into what’s a yes and what’s a no.

If you’re so hung up on getting the job, the house, the opportunity, the person a very specific way you might close yourself off to receiving it in a way you never had imagined.

Episode 101 of How to Pretend to Like Sports: what you need to know from this week and last week to kind of know what’s going on - from two girlies who also kind of know what’s going on.

Good news is sometimes a fun fact is just a fun fact and not a commitment to watch 49 days straight of football. Full story on episode 101 of How to Pretend to Like Sports

I know we think that the big thing is going to be what makes us feel like life is moving forward, but if you think back to any milestone in your life, you realize how the momentum actually happened before that milestone.

Remembering that feeling stuck is not a permanent state of being is a relief, but if you need ideas on how to feel like things are flowing again, swipe through.

Trust me when I say I understand the temptation to have dinner delivered instead instead of picking it up after a long day, of having your groceries delivered so you’re not carrying 3 bags down 3 blocks praying you don’t drop one.

Buttttt if what you’re doing right now isn’t working, we have to change things up.

Ps. No 1 is ditch the headphones

Someone asked me the other day if I think it’s actually possible to meet someone in the wild. All I have to say about that is…of course, but maybe we’re not as open to it as we think we are.

So how to be more open? Let’s start with ditching the headphones. It makes you more present and you’re so much more likely to spark in a conversation that way

When I’d tell myself the chapter was over, it made me sad because I felt like I never took the project to its fullest potential.

But when I said, ok let me bring it back it felt stressful and forced.

I finally had to completely surrender it. I kept paying for the hosting to keep it up in the platforms and then just said, when the timing is right it will all come together so quickly and easily that I won’t second guess it.

And that’s exactly what happened.

If something’s on your heart that you know is meant for you, just because there’s a 2 year pause, doesn’t mean that it’s the ending.

Sometimes it really is just a pause

Part 2 of making your life feel like a romcom: it’s about finding the third place and sticking to it. Make it part of your routine.

As someone who works from home, this has been especially helpful!

All this over plans to go to a cheese tasting

It’s almost October so the funny thing about this is I’ll have no idea if I did this by the end of 2025 (yall I’m not trying to get MARRIED by the end of 2025 😂😂) but it will be interesting to look back on and see if 2025 was the year I met him or not!

There’s so much dating advice out there - this is not that. This is documenting my journey of deciding what nuggets of advice im taking in, where im getting out of my comfort zone and how im getting better at just being happy with the process.
