howdy friend,

change is on my mind.

the changes i’ve chased & the changes that’ve caught me.

working by myself & for myself, change is the name of the game. with each range, i’ve realized that the most fulfilling external changes, start internally.

up until now, i’ve navigated these changes alone.

but i realized i don’t have to nor do i want to any more.

the beauty of this newsletter is that the “internal” encompasses the community, which is you! so i want us to navigate this change together.

to do that, i’d like to get to know you better.

so this morning, i’m walking you through how i’m thinking about change & then i’ll be asking to you to spend 60 seconds completing my first ever reader survey. this will immensely help me which will in turn help you 🫶🏻

can you change change?

i spent so much of my enneagram 8 life thinking i could control change. which icymi is like trying to hold onto water — impossible & frustrating.

i acted like change was an optional question,

but i’ve learned that change is a mandatory answer in life.

sinking & soaring are change, so too is stagnating.

nothing really stays the same.

weather, relationships, school, work, friendship, & the world itself are always ch-ch-ch-ch-changing.

the only thing you can change about change
is how you think & feel about change.

you get to choose if you see change as:

• a loss or a gain?

• a batte or a breeze?

• a risk or a certainty?

• an end or a beginning?

• a mistake or a miracle?

• a burden or a blessing?

• a challenge or a comfort?

• a setback or a step forward?

• a breakdown or a breakthrough?

you can change your experience of change.

i believe

no matter what, change will alway changes you.

challenging your identity for the better & for the worse.

forcing you to question who you are, what you stand for, & where you’re headed. forcing you to concentrate on what truly counts to you.

change creates clarity.

but the path to that clarity is anything but clear.

it’s an internal & external journey filled with tests, triggers, & transformations.

i’ve found that i best navigate the changes with the help of a coach or a program. this is true for matters of work, fitness, mental health, & even love.

until recently, i treated each type of change separately.

but i’ve realized by taking amanda goetz’s new course (more details below) that change always starts with the internal. she starts the course by explicitly stating that “believing is the first step to getting what you want.” true for every type of change you’re navigating.

request for help

i started merry makery because i believed in my ability to help people in a bigger way than i was able to in my corporate job.

i knew i was playing small & capable of more.

after a decade working at awesome brands like apple, warby parker, & classpass, i figured, why not stick to what i know best? so, i embarked on creating my own consumer brand.

along the way, i followed the advice of every content coach ever & started shaping up my “personal brand” too. seeing it as a way to build my business without breaking the bank.

that brought me here to writing this weekly newsletter.

& guess what? over the course of 65 issues, i’ve discovered that these weekly chats are more impactful than anything i’ve ever sold.

so i’m all in on this & you.

but, here's the thing – i need a tiny favor.

to really kick things up a notch, i’d love to get to know you more. could you help me by filling out this super quick 60 second survey?

starting each week with you is such a privilege. i appreciate you so much for being here! you really do make me so merry.

merry client: amanda goetz

building my personal brand led me to the amazing amanda goetz.

over the past 6 months, i’ve worked with her & a community of other creators to prepare for the next chapter of merry makery.

during which amanda not only helped me realize a superpower i could turn into a service, but also she was willing to be my first client of this service 🥹

i had the honor of helping amanda bring her newest course to life by creating her brand aesthetic, redesigning 400+ slides to match, & creating a 12 comprehensive homework templates!

i LOVED this project so much because i love working with her & i love the message she is spreading of the anti-hustle life focused on what matters.

i highly recommend this course for anyone looking to find that balance between external success & internal fulfillment.
