P.S. If you (like me) are feeling unsure of how to process and resist the atrocities in the US right now, I’ve been returning to this video on opposing fascism in daily life for guidance.

At some point last year, I realized I was on my phone… a lot…
And I was kind of working all the time….
And while I was promoting my book all about attention…
I wasn’t doing the best job of tending to my attention myself!
So in 2026, I’m reclaiming my attention, creativity, and workday. Not through grand proclamations or whole-life-overhauls. But through a few small shifts that I trust will help me reconnect with my body, recenter my mind, and reorient toward my deeper vision for Life.
Tune in to this free episode preview — where I talk about why I’m:
Deleting all work and distraction apps off my phone — including email! 📲
Tracking my work hours again (even though I kind of hate it) ⏱️
Giving up my Notion dashboard 😬
Returning to a paper planner & art journal 📓
& more!
