šŸ‘‡šŸ¾Start with the MOMentā„¢ Check-In

09/10/2026

You can do hard things.
You can make the call.
You can fix it.
You can stay calm.
You can come up with another plan.
You can carry a lot.

We know. šŸ˜‚

Now, ā€œI canā€ can starts sounding a whole lot like ā€œI should.ā€

And those are two different things.

Sometimes the strongest move is catching yourself before you automatically say:

ā€œI got it.ā€

And asking:

Do I actually want to?

That’s the kind of stuff we look at inside The MOMentā„¢.

09/10/2026

You don’t need me to tell you that you’re busy.
You know.

What I’m more interested in is the stuff you don’t always count because you’ve gotten so used to doing it.

The remembering.
The anticipating.
The fixing.
The stepping in.
The thinking ahead.
The things you quietly decide are yours because you know how to handle them.

That’s why The MOMentā„¢ doesn’t begin with telling you to do less.

It begins with helping you notice what you automatically make your responsibility because being capable of carrying something does not automatically mean it belongs to you.

And if you never stop long enough to notice the difference, ā€œI got itā€ can become your answer before you’ve even decided whether you want it to be.

That’s what the MOMentā„¢ Check-In is designed to help you see.

This is not about whether you’re strong enough.
Nor is about whether you can handle more.

But about what may be happening underneath what everybody else can already see.

Comment CHECK-IN and I’ll send it to you.

09/09/2026

You ever say yes so fast that five minutes later you’re like…

Why did I agree to that? ļæ½

That’s where we’re going this week on The Weekly MOMentā„¢.

Because sometimes the yes comes out before you’ve checked your time, your energy, your plans, or whether it was even yours to handle.

You just step in.
You agree.
You make it work.
And then later, you’re carrying one more thing.

So let me ask you:

Which one sounds most like you?

A — I say yes before I even think about it.
B — I know I want to say no… but I say yes anyway.
C — I say yes because it feels easier than dealing with what happens if I don’t.
D — I’ve gotten better at checking with myself first.

Drop your letter in the comments.

Because this week, we’re talking about that little MOMentā„¢ before the yes.

The part where you get to ask:

Do I actually want to do this?
Did they even ask me?
Am I choosing this… or did I just automatically pick it up?

And if this conversation already has you thinking about how much you’ve gotten used to carrying, I made something for you.

The MOMentā„¢ Check-In gives you a few minutes to look at what’s taking up space, what you’ve gotten used to handling, and some of what may be happening underneath what everybody else can see.

And just like that, you’re about to clock in for a shift nobody hired you for šŸ˜‚

Before you start making calls, rearranging plans and figuring out what everybody needs to do… Did they actually ask you to help?

Or did you hear a problem and automatically make it yours?

09/09/2026

You handle it.
You figure it out.
You make another plan when the first one falls through.

And yes... you probably ARE independent.

But here’s the part I want you to notice:

Do you choose to handle things yourself… or have you gotten so used to saying ā€œI got itā€ that you don’t even stop to decide anymore?

Those aren’t the same thing.

One says, I can handle this.
The other says, Of course I’ll handle this.

Same capable woman.
Very different decision.

This week, catch yourself the next time ā€œI got itā€ comes out of your mouth before you’ve even thought about whether you actually want to get it.

09/08/2026

You knew.

Then you called your friend.
Asked your sister.
Sent the screenshot.
Explained the whole situation.
Got three opinions you didn’t have before.

And somehow ended up LESS sure than when you started šŸ˜©šŸ˜‚

There’s nothing wrong with getting advice.
Sometimes somebody else sees something you don’t.

But pay attention to how quickly somebody else’s opinion becomes something you now have to carry too.

Their concern.
Their experience.
What they would do.
What they think you should do.

And now you’re trying to make your decision while holding everybody else’s opinion about your decision.

You can hear somebody else’s opinion without handing it the final vote.

09/08/2026

You say everybody depends on you… but when do they get a chance not to?

You remember the appointment.
The deadline.
The form.
The call they were supposed to make.

And before they can forget, you’re already there:

ā€œDon’t forgetā€¦ā€
ā€œDid you do that?ā€
ā€œJust checkingā€¦ā€

Because somebody has to keep everything moving, right?

Except here’s the part nobody says to the woman who remembers everything:

Every time you remember it FOR somebody, they don’t have to experience what happens when THEY forget it.

And no, I’m not saying never remind your children, help your family or give somebody a heads-up.

I’m saying there’s a difference between helping somebody carry their responsibility and quietly becoming responsible for whether they carry it at all.

Because eventually you can end up frustrated, ā€œWhy does everybody depend on me?ā€

Meanwhile, you’re reminding, checking, following up and stepping in before the responsibility ever gets a chance to stay where it belongs. That’s not blame.

That’s something to notice.

Here’s your MOMentā„¢:

The next time you remember something for somebody else, don’t immediately send the text.

Ask:

ā€œWhat would happen if I remembered it…and let it remain theirs?ā€

And... it ain't because you don’t care. Remembering something doesn’t automatically make it your responsibility.

If that question made you put your phone back down šŸ˜‚, comment CHECK-IN and I’ll send you The MOMentā„¢ Check-In.

09/07/2026

Need something figured out?
You know what to do.

Something went wrong?
You’ll handle it.

Somebody needs help?
You’re already thinking three steps ahead.

You’ve gotten really good at being the woman people can count on.

And there’s nothing wrong with that but I’ve been thinking about a different question:

Who are you when nobody needs you to fix, remember, organize, solve or hold anything together?

This is not about what do you DO with the extra time.

Who are you?

Being capable is part of you. I just don’t want it to be the only version of you that gets to show up. And that’s where we’re going this week on The Weekly MOMentā„¢.

If this question made you stop for a second, come join the conversation.
Comment MOMENT and I’ll send you the details.

09/06/2026

You became the one who figures it out.
The one who remembers.
The one who keeps things moving.
The one who makes a plan when there isn’t one.

And after doing the for so long, people stop asking who’s going to handle it.

They just look at you šŸ˜‚

That’s how being capable can turn into being the default.

So here’s the question:

How much of what you’re carrying is yours… and how much did you just get used to picking up?

Because being good at handling things does not mean every single thing belongs to you.

09/05/2026

You’re good at figuring things out.
And everybody knows it šŸ˜‚

You remember.
You fix it.
You step in.
You make sure it gets done.

And eventually everybody learns:
If all else fails, she’ll handle it.

But here's the part nobody really talks about…

Sometimes people stop building their own plan because they already know you're the backup plan.

Yeah.

So this weekend, pay attention to one thing:

What never gets to become somebody else's responsibility because you keep stepping in to make sure it gets done?

You don't have to stop being dependable.

You just don't have to automatically become Plan B, C, D and LMNOP šŸ˜‚
