Hi, Reader,

I didn't plan to send an email today, but this morning, I was inspired to write this Dear Awesome Human note and share it with you. And I believe you should always follow your inspiration, so here it is:

---

Dear Awesome Human,

You have no greater responsibility in this lifetime than to flourish.

Aristotle called this “eudaimonia”.

Eudaimonia means living in accordance with your soul’s purpose and reaching your highest potential.

The essential thing about eudaimonia is that It’s not a state you reach, but a continuous process to which you have to dedicate yourself.

It doesn’t just happen.

You have to practice:

• Self-discovery to uncover what your soul is calling you to do
• Self-awareness to recognize limiting beliefs and habits that block you from flourishing
• Embracing growth and challenge so that you can expand and evolve

An essential component of flourishing is courage.

You have to practice courage to hear what’s calling to you and to answer that call.

This is where many people falter because they:

• Get blocked by fear of charting a unique path
• Worry about what others might think
• Become overwhelmed with self-doubt

But the cost of not having the courage to flourish is extremely high.

If you’re not flourishing, you’re literally stifling your essence, your being, your true self.

This manifests in your life as:

• Health problems -- mind and body are connected
• Strained relationships because you’re not happy in yourself
• Low vitality and enthusiasm for life -- feeling like you're just going through life, not feeling fully alive

But here’s the beautiful thing:

You CAN flourish. You can choose at any moment to make your flourishing a priority.

And here’s why it’s the least selfish thing you can do:

When you’re flourishing, you bring the best version of you to everyone whose lives you touch.

You create the positive impact only you can have.

Your flourishing is the greatest contribution you can make.

Do you feel called to invest in your flourishing this year?

I am looking for 5 leaders to join my intimate-group mentorship program to uncover soul’s purpose, break through limiting beliefs, and make bold leaps towards your flourishing future self.

If this calls to you, reply to this email with the word FLOURISH and let’s chat to see if it’s a great fit.

In the meantime, here are 3 journal prompts to fuel your flourishing:

(I love these and use them often!)

• What is calling to me? What is my soul inviting me to do?
• If I had no constraints, what would I love to do?
• When do I feel in flow? How can I do this more?

Happy journaling!

🌟NEW PODCAST EPISODE THIS WEEK!🌟

In this week's episode, I sit down with the insightful Jerry Colonna to explore inner transformation, radical self-inquiry, and the power of self-compassion.

Together, we dive into how true reinvention begins from within, often sparked by moments of personal suffering, and how recognizing our role in our own discomfort can lead to profound growth.

Jerry shares his wisdom on the crucial distinction between guilt and remorse, encouraging a compassionate lens for self-reflection.

We also unpack how ancestral influences shape our behaviors and emotions, highlighting the importance of understanding our past with empathy rather than blame.

Throughout our conversation, Jerry emphasizes that radical self-inquiry is essential not only for personal healing but also for effective, empathetic leadership.

If you’re ready to peel back the layers, embrace all parts of yourself, and lead with empathy—whether in your personal life or at work—this episode offers deep insights to guide your journey.
