- Sneak Peek: Inside My Brain
THE NEW NORMAL
helloooooo!It's the third Friday, and we're back with this magazine-style template that (A LOT of) you loved. Honestly, it gives some much-needed structure to my thoughts and pushes me to come up with something fresh for each section. This edition is themed around: “Do you ever look at someone and wonder what is going on inside their head?” In this case, mine. LET’S TAKE A LOOK → |  |
Feature Story
WIN OF THE MONTH
I have been working with the sweetest client yet.
Apologizing and stating the exact reason for a delay in payment without even asking/following up?
Is this what dreams are made of??
GRATEFUL :)
The BRAIN
Bring Out Your Digging Tools!
 Thought ProcessII don’t chase ideas for content. I find them in conversations, quiet moments, and even silence. I let my mind wander without pressure, but if something strikes? I note it down instantly. RIP to all the ideas I thought I’d remember :’( |  InspirationI’ve started doing this recently. I save topics I’d love to have written about, LinkedIn posts I could write ‘my version’ of. The screenshot is a topic I’d like to write about someday. |
 Engagement!I logged onto Fable to update my reading streak, and while scrolling, I found an image I knew the community would love. I didn’t set out thinking “what can I post today?”, it just came up, and I shared it.
|  The Mantra!This one’s close to my heart. I used to chase perfection, and got nowhere. I recently counted, I’ve written 98 newsletters across 4 different series (as of two weeks ago!).
P.S. It’s 12:38 AM as I write this (and 1:11 am as I edit this). I’m sleepy, my head hurts, this edition is a bit more complex (thanks to all the image hunting)... but we’re here. |
The Vision
Another Screenshot
If I had to sum up what the inside of my brain looks like, this would be it: a mix of dreaming big, leaning into drama, and living in the moment.
Yes, there’s the $5,000 challenge. There are growth targets, goals, and metrics. But at the heart of it all, it’s just me experimenting.
I experimented with writing newsletters. Now it’s my main service.
I experimented building a community (with help, I’m not doing it alone). And now, I get messages that genuinely make my day.
 |  |
I’m trying to build a web app. Maybe I’ll love it enough to keep going. Maybe not. I’ll find out.
What keeps me going is the creative challenge.
Coming up with newsletter ideas, keeping the community engaged, staying motivated, and more, none of that is easy.
But I enjoy it. Every bit of it.
And that makes the effort feel worth it.
The NEW CHALLENGES Edit
Find the New-er Normal
I’ve never felt confident speaking in public, a result of 12 years of stammering.
But that’s changing.
I don’t know if I’ll become a public speaker, but I’ve started to want to get on stage and talk.
 A Webinar? To put this into action, I’ll be doing 1 session every month. Do I have the confidence? Do I expect a crowd? Will I do it anyway? |  The Web App There’s an idea I’d love to bring to life. So we upskill. It’s slow (juggling client work at the moment), but I make sure to give it at least 10 minutes a day. Every single day. |
A Final Note
I’m not sure if this gave you a complete look into my brain, but I tried. To sum up:
I read. I consume. I create. I do nothing. I do everything.
I think… that was the point. :)
PS. If you're interested in attending the upcoming webinar session (How I Use my 30 hours in 24 hours), help me pick a date and time!
