I slept weirdly this week. Probably a mix of missing Sarah (who is absolutely rocking it in Hangzhou btw!) and the sheer amount of things to finish before the end of the year.

I kept my streak this week to new produce content for our community space: writing more posts, sharing more inspiration, book summaries and resources.

Action Cures Anxiety was my mantra for this week — and forever! I’m just trying my best to get myself started, again and again, to be able to focus on my thing. And to “eat the frog” in the morning aka tackling the most difficult tasks first. It’s a battle against fear, but I always feel better afterwards.

Lovely lunches with my buddy Alex Kropp which are always inspiring and energizing.
