In this episode, I open up about how a month filled with joy, celebration, and growth also brought exhaustion and overwhelm. I share what it looks like to show up when motivation disappears, and how small, intentional choices today are really acts of love for your future self.
This isn’t about hustling harder, it’s about soft consistency, sustainable effort, and remembering that showing up now frees you later.
✨ In This Episode
-The truth about losing motivation (even when you love what you do)
-How to redefine “showing up” for your future self
-Gentle ways to move forward when you feel drained
-Why your future self doesn’t need perfection, just presence
-A cozy reminder that even slow progress still counts
🤍 Key Takeaway
Showing up now, even in small, imperfect ways, is how you take care of your future self.
You’re not falling behind; you’re building quietly.
🌿 Cozy Reflection
Ask yourself this week:
What does “showing up” look like when I’m low on energy?
How can I make life a little easier for my future self today?
What small win would help me feel proud right now?
☕️ Cozy & Thriving Coffee of the Week
The Peppermint Mocha Brown Sugar Latte
You’ll need:
-2 shots of espresso
-Milk of choice (I love oat milk for this one)

How to make it:
1. Brew your espresso.
2. In a separate cup, mix the brown sugar, cocoa powder, and peppermint extract.

When do I feel *good* showing up?2. What parts of creating feel forced or heavy?3.
