Wow! Explains A LOT! Stopped me in my tracks. Thanks Holly Morris & Alex Partridge for sheding light on something thats been niggling me for years! For as long as I can remember I've questioned how long things last (degrees, course, etc). ⏳️ Or once the dopamine rush of a new creative idea has worn off, how long will it be before I hit the crash? 💥 What happens if this idea takes off, I go full throttle, create a whirlwind and then lose the drive & let people down? 😵💫 When I was barely conscious of this, I would seek out people who could enable me to get the idea across the line, or who could deliver on a idea (& therefore less flakey than me). Ive come to realise theres a couple of issues with this; 1) my dreams & goals are my dreams & goals. Yes, leverage other people's skills to realise your dreams BUT its a fine line between blending skills and expecting others to do it for you. And, I suspect I used the excuse to seek out 'help' as a deliberate attempt to avoid the uncomfortableness of having to do it myself. Subconsciously sabotaging the idea to stay 'safe'. 2) The idea that I can't follow through or that I have an untrainable skill gap is misguided self awareness. Someone, somewhere, at some point in time, may have said something which I chose to internalise as 'I cant'. I looked for evidence to back this up by replaying unhelpful scenarios & tagged those memories with the label of failure, none finisher, needs help etc etc It's a fine line between knowing your abilities so you can find complimenting skills and letting those lacking skills shame you.... As part of my mindfulness practice I remind myself everyday of my gifts of creativity and my thirst for inquiry. I'm a creator and my medium for delivery is self expression. Managing ADHD shame & over thinking is a life long practice. My brain feels like a sandstorm of ideas. I just can't follow up on all of them. But, whats the rush....?? Sure, i risk some ideas falling by the wayside but, my purpose is to keep creating and keep expressing. And, what was meant to be will follow with perfect timing. ♾️😍

I celebrated my 36th birthday last month in a city I love, and I’m taking away one big lesson for years to come. But first, a brief background: we last visited Paris in 2017, and our lives were very different. This quote by C.S. Lewis has been stuck in my head: “Isn't it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back everything is different.”

 Seven years later, we have a new home, I have a new career, and we are raising a wonderful son. If someone had told me in 2017 that this is where I would be in 2024, I would have thought it sounded crazy. Yet, you know how humans are. We constantly find new goals to chase, which keeps us wanting more and makes us feel as though where we are in life is not good enough. So, my biggest resolve is to STOP moving the goalpost. I’ve read enough work by successful people and listened to enough podcasts to know that no amount of money, success, or material things can make you happy if you find it hard to be happy where you are. Especially when it comes to money, I have identified what my ‘enough’ is, and any money or success above that is just a game to be played and fun to be had. This means we don’t plan to inflate our lifestyles so much that our ‘maximum’ becomes the new ‘enough’. It also means that I keep alive the basic essence of what I do—impacting lives positively because I am viscerally passionate about people taking care of their health. This ‘enough’ will also mean I have time to do things that bring me joy: spending time with my family and friends, and taking time off to travel. I’ll end my soliloquy with another quote: “Nothing is enough for the man to whom enough is too little’. (Epicurus)

[Happy anniversary Jenna] To celebrate, here are 11 lessons from 11 years: 🕐 Challenges can bring you together if you let them. 🕑 You think you’re busy before having kids. You’re not. 🕒 Making memories is the name of the game. 🕓 The years race by faster and faster. Find ways to slow down. 🕔 Two people focused on the same priority is a powerful force. 🕕 Appreciate how your partner’s strengths help you to do what you love. 🕖 Boring things become fun and meaningful when you do them together. 🕗 You think you’re tired before having kids. You’re not. 🕘 We all love to do certain things. Give each other space to enjoy that time. 🕙 It’s never too late for chocolate. 🕚 Some fresh air and a conversation always helps. Thanks Jenna for making all our years so far so memorable. With love, B P.S. – What would you add to these lessons?

Great organization on the right mission

Today is a very special day for us. It marks the day that Sean Schaefer, Aaron Merryman and I took a leap of faith and bet on each other. They have turned out to be the most amazing business partners ever. So much has happened in 3 years, but there's so much more ahead! My hope is that everyone gets a chance to live their entrepreneurial dream! #entrepreneurship #founders #yesphx
