Highlight reels are easy. This is the other stuff.

Anxiety, imposter moments, comparing timelines that were never mine to compare, letting go of deadlines I set before I knew better. Some of it I’m still unlearning.

Ok most of it.

We’re all just doing our best with what we’ve got that day. That’s enough.

If you can relate, let me know what’s your latest flop of life lesson? 👇

Some days, my anxiety makes getting out of bed harder than I want to admit, especially when money is the thing sitting on my chest.

As an entrepreneur no one talks about how much our money convos look different.

There’s no safety net, salary or 401k matching. We have unlimited earning potential but often it’s a longer game than those in corporate roles.

Not to mention expensing everything sounds great but people forget someone still has to pay for it upfront. Me.

And for service based businesses (aka little to no funding our outside investment, oof…

I’m healing my relationship with money every day and it causes its own anxiety. Hiring and scaling and time management and boundaries… it’s never ending but it’s also a luxury to get to build this ship how I want.

I’m learning that the same thing that can drive you forward can also exhaust you. And I don’t always have to turn my anxiety into productivity to make it useful.

Asking for help as an eldest daughter (of an eldest daughter, in a Latin household to boot)… and probably a mix of undiagnosed ADHD thrown in? Yeah this is not something I do well. Or often.

It wasn’t until I burned out and started saying yes to offers to support me that I realized delegation is a skill and one I need to work on.

And in my personal life, therapy, reiki, acupuncture, Pilates and still going to Abuela’s house for dinner 1x a week makes a difference. I don’t have to do it all myself anymore and that is so freeing.

“Comparison is the thief of joy”

We all know that. We tell our friends that. Yet we still compare. We still get caught up in the doom scroll and wishing we had what fulana does… but we have no idea what’s really going on behind the scenes.

And that her circumstances are different. We all don’t start from zero. We’re a produ

2026 so far… it’s crazy to think that I’ve done or experienced all but 2 of the things on my vision board for this year and it’s ONLY August. I didn’t realize that until tonight looking back at my vision board

I joked earlier that summer is flying by and we’re rushing into fall… bc we are. I also love both season for different reasons… but in our quest to get to the next best thing or big moment we forget how much we’ve already lived and enjoyed and learned

It’s so easy to get so caught up in the highlight reel and milestones and forget the little things we really wanted to focus on when we were planning out the year ahead in the quiet in between

I’m already planning for a busy fall and ideating for 2027 (business owner life) so much so at times that I don’t have much to share in the present moment. I’m too busy living when I’m not doing… but this exercise was so refreshing

To more of that energy the next 5 months 🫶🏼
