I hope you're having a great week! We are OFFICIALLY starting the first part of our move. If you haven't heard, my wife and I bought a one-way ticket to Europe! We're moving to Mallorca at the start of February. But starting today, we're moving back down to California to be with family for the holidays.

We have a longggg drive ahead of us—1,300 miles over three days, with two stops to break it up (thank goodness). We'll be in separate cars, so we'll probably call each other to keep the drive interesting. And of course, our cat, Penny, will be riding shotgun. We're so stoked for this next chapter and can't wait to see how it unfolds! If you ever needed a nudge to go after what scares you, take this as the nudge!

Thank you for reading this week!

One Thing to Help You Think

Here's a quick journal prompt:

Read the song lyrics below, and then spend 5-10 minutes writing what comes up for you.

"If I wait 'til it feels right
I'll be waiting my whole life."

— Like Gold, Vance Joy

One Thing to Help You Grow

Fear is always available, but so is possibility, opportunity, and freedom.

Your experience reflects what you choose to focus on.

One Thing to Help You Expand

I've been struggling to believe in my words lately. There will be moments when you don't feel connected to what you're doing. It will feel like you've lost your way, but it'll eventually fall back into place. The best thing you can do is give yourself some grace and practice patience. If you're here to evolve, you're signing up to experience the not-so-fun moments. It's part of leveling up.

You become dissatisfied with your current situation, so you look for ways to improve it. Often, this makes it feel like you're stuck between the place you want to leave and where you want to go. And it sucks there. But eventually, if you trust the process of change, you pop out the other end, and it's often better than you could have imagined.

So yeah, maybe it feels really frustrating when you're stuck somewhere in the middle, but don't give up when it gets hard because that's right when it's about to get good.

Best,
Jordan Tarver
