Hey y’all,
Happy Wednesday! I’ve been reflecting a lot the past few days, and I wanted to share what’s been running through my mind.
It all comes down to identity and environment. Spaces, places, and circumstances shape who we feel we are — often keeping us exactly where we are. The powerful part? Realizing that we can change our circumstances can shift everything.
For example, I’m moving out of LA (for now). Part of it is the desire to travel and live more freely, but practically, I didn’t want to be tied to a lease. And now that I’m free from that constraint, my mind feels… open. There’s space to imagine possibilities I hadn’t considered before.
Instead of thinking, “I need to be free from this lease,” my brain started wondering: What if I worked toward owning my dream home in LA — a sanctuary I could always return to? What if, instead of designing my life from a sense of restriction, I designed it from a place of “what if”? What would it truly look like if nothing were holding me back?
These “what ifs” are more than daydreams — they’re a script for a new narrative, a new paradigm.
The truth is, what holds us back is often an old identity we cling to. Maybe we think it’s who we are, but it’s often just who we’ve unconsciously decided to be. At any point, you can choose differently.
It’s a matter of timing, faith, and of course — you.
So here’s my question for you: If nothing were holding you back, if money weren’t an issue, what dream life would you design?
Just thinking about it, feeling into that state, changes your mindset — and how you show up in the world.
The only thing standing between you and that life is the identity you've been holding onto so dearly.
xo,
P.S. I’m planning to hit some fun LA spots before I leave on the 17th — Malibu/PCH, surfing, cafes, hiking, and anything else fun. If you want to join, hmu!
