Hey Reader,

This week has been a full one! Our family took on a muddy obstacle course race, I filmed and edited for hours, and somewhere between all the movement and the deadlines, I felt that familiar mix of exhaustion and gratitude that comes with doing what you love.

It’s easy to look at the finished videos or photos and think it all comes together effortlessly. But the truth is, progress usually happens in the middle of the mess, in the sweaty, unpolished moments that no one sees. That’s where growth and consistency take root.

Maybe you’re in your own “messy middle” right now juggling work, creativity, and everything else that fills your days. Don’t get tired of that season! It’s shaping your strength, even if it doesn’t feel like it yet.

In the midst of all that motion, it’s so important to refill your own cup. To do something that makes you feel alive again. For me this week, that looked like a pole and dance class — not for content or fitness, but simply to reconnect with the part of myself that thrives on movement and joy.

That’s why I’m so excited to share the Night of a Thousand Blossoms, a fantasy-inspired celebration designed to help you do the same. Whether you join us for the royal ball itself or the full retreat experience that surrounds it, it’s a chance to rest, play, and reconnect with your spark so you can return to life refueled and inspired.

Whether you can make it to the ball or not, keep showing up for your goals, but remember to give yourself space to breathe along the way. You can’t pour from an empty cup, and you deserve to feel alive while you’re building what’s next.

Here’s to finding beauty in the in-between and progress in the imperfect.

💙 Charity
