Something to Read When You’re Not Feeling 100%
Not every single day is easy — for me, for you, for anyone really.
That’s especially true when you’re trying to make a difference and showing up for something you care about. The entrepreneurs and experts I get to work with go through many challenging moments.
Whether it’s a launch that fails, a moment where you’re really not sure whether you’ll make payroll that month, or just a crappy hater landing in your email on a morning when you didn’t get enough sleep, this journey can be hard.
Recently, I experienced a string of tough days. It felt like every client had an emergency. I hadn’t been sleeping well. My husband was going through a transition at work. Even our dog was sick.
I was tired, emotionally spent, burnt out on work and desperately needed a pick-me-up.
I decided to watch Dear . . . on Apple TV+.
I chose to start with the episode on Lin-Manuel Miranda. I love Lin-Manuel because, for a brief time, we both lived in the Heights (Washington Heights, in Manhattan). I feel like he’s a kindred spirit and I love his music.
When I watched the episode, well — I lost my shit. I came unprepared for the tears and the sheer amount of Kleenex I needed.
