Success isn't what you think it is 🤔
Forget the numbers, try this instead.
A few weeks ago, I heard something on a podcast that really stuck with me: I measure my success based on whether my younger self would be proud.
I had to pause the podcast because honestly, truly how often do we get caught up in measuring success by the numbers? By how productive we are? By where we *think* we should be by now?
I thought about the version of me six years ago (juggling life & still figuring things out) and I just know she’d be proud of where I am today. And no, not because everything’s perfect, but because I kept going.
This past weekend, between the sweet chaos and making Easter memories with my family, I had this little light bulb moment — this is the life I used to dream about 🥹💡
So instead of getting caught up with all the noise, what if we just asked ourselves a simple question: Would past me be proud of present me?
Life moves fast, but it’s important to slow down and really see how far we’ve come. Big wins or small, they all matter! When’s the last time you gave yourself a little credit for how far you’ve come?
I’m cheering for you, always! 🤠✨

Tough love reminders you might not want to hear, but definitely need to. I know I did.
If you love Parks & Rec, you’ll love this conversation.
