Why your “minimum” matters more than the big plan 🤔


​View in browser

Hi Reader,

After last week’s email, some of you shared such thoughtful comments.

One person compared repeating what works to putting your favorite song on repeat - you always hear something new, but the melody stays the same. 🎵

Someone else shared how they start with 15 minutes instead of 30 when building a walking habit, making it more manageable.

And one reminded me that, yes, sometimes we love to complicate things with drama. (Guilty as charged 🤣).

It made me realize something:

We often do the exact same thing with self-care.

We overcomplicate it.

We think it has to be a perfect morning routine, a spa day, or a long yoga session.

And then when we can’t live up to that version… we don’t do it at all.

But here’s the truth:

Self-care doesn’t need to be complex.

It just needs to be consistent.

For me, that looks like my golden rule: 10 minutes.

Ten minutes outside walking is enough to tick my #walkingeverydamnday box. And I use the same rule for my mornings: 10 minutes of reading, journaling, or meditation is enough to start my day with intention.

If I want to keep going, great. But if not, I’ve already succeeded.

Because the minimum counts.

And often, the minimum is what keeps us moving forward.

So here’s your reminder:

Self-care isn’t about big, complicated plans.

It’s about choosing something simple, doable, and repeating it, until it becomes part of you.

Call to action:

💬 What’s your version of “10 minutes”?

Hit reply and tell me the simplest self-care practice you can put on repeat.

Sending you fall greetings from Canada 🍁

View in browser Hi Reader, Last week, I promised I’d walk you through some stories and tips about planning. So, let’s start with a confession: I used to tell myself a very convincing lie… 👉 “I work better under pressure.” It sounded good. It even felt true at times.But here’s the thing... it was rubbish 💩And today, I’ll tell you why it’s time to ditch that belief once and for all. When you’re working solo, you might get away with it. You can leave things to the last minute, ride the...

View in browser Hi Reader, Vancouver Island University recently hosted the BC MBA Games 2025, and the energy was incredible. Hundreds of MBA students from across the province came together to compete, collaborate, and connect. I had the privilege of being part of the organizing committee, a group that worked quietly behind the scenes for months to make it all happen. It was inspiring to be there, to feel the buzz of so many driven students, but it also reminded me of something that reaches...

View in browser Hi Reader, How has your week been? The weather in this part of the world has been a bit chilly lately, and yes, we’ve had our share of rain too ☔️ Perfect days to stay inside, read a book, and be cozy (I'm really good at doing that 😃). It made me think back to our first summer here in Canada, when we spent so many moments out sailing. If there’s one thing sailing has taught me, it’s that you rarely go in a straight line. The wind isn’t always in your favour. You adjust your...
