Happy Saturday Reader, Have you ever felt that spark to start something new, a project, a new fitness routine, a dream, a conversation, only to find yourself… Scrolling? Cleaning? Suddenly feeling too tired? It’s easy to call that laziness or lack of motivation, but what if it wasn't those things at all? Avoidance isn’t a flaw. It’s a signal. Our body’s way of whispering, “Something here feels unfamiliar or uncertain” And that makes sense. Trying something new often brings up fears- of failing, succeeding, or being seen in a new way (I'm working through that one right now!). So instead of ignoring it, what if we met it with a little curiosity? Here’s a 4-step practice I use to help me move from I want to, to I’m doing: 1️⃣ Notice: Catch yourself avoiding and name it without judgment. 2️⃣ Emotionalize: Picture the version of you who’s already done it. Feel her pride, calm, courage, sense of accomplishment. The more you connect to that feeling, the more possible it becomes. 3️⃣ Ask: What’s my next small step? 4️⃣ Rewrite the story: Fear and doubt don’t mean you’re not ready. They mean you’re growing. Every time you notice, breathe, and take one small step, you teach your brain it’s safe to begin. So this week, when that tug-of-war between wanting and avoiding shows up, try whispering to yourself: I see you. Breathe. Let’s just take one small step.

We’re still smiling after our latest THP Hangouts, where a group of amazing teen girls came together to make snowglobes. Reader, at first, the room was pretty quiet. That kind of uncertainty that happens when everyone’s still finding their footing. But before long, it transformed into a space filled with laughter, creativity, and confidence. There was glitter flying (literally), ideas being shared, and conversations that reminded us why we love creating these moments of connection. One...
HelloReader! This weekend, I did something a little out of my ordinary routine. I went to see Kim Mitchell live in concert. And wow… it was a blast. 🎶 There’s something so magnetic about watching people who have been doing what they love for nearly fifty years. Kim and his band lit up the stage like a summer night full of Patio Lanterns (I could not resist!). Their energy, humour, and pure joy for what they was electric. Somewhere between Go for a Soda and Rock ’n Roll Duty, I found myself...
So glad you had the courage to open this email Reader, What a video on Will Smith's skydiving experience taught me about fear. I distincly remember it. He said, “God placed the best things in life on the other side of fear.” That line stopped me in my tracks. Because I’ve seen it. In myself and in the teen girls I work with. A girl who had the courage to set a boundary in a friendship. A teen who tries out for a team even though her knees are shaking. A young person who decides to have a...
