“I don’t live to work. I work to build a life I love.”
Hey friend,
At the start of June, I went off-grid for a few days with Nanda, my lover—just us, the waves, and the wind-blown magic of Fuerteventura.
The island is wild. Rugged. Quiet.
A desert of rock and dust… with beaches like oases.
Places where the world softens.
Where your shoulders drop.
Where you breathe… and remember.
We surfed. We explored. We laughed. We dreamed.
And somewhere between the salt water and the silent sunsets, a deep part of me whispered:
“This is it.”
Not just the surfing.
But the feeling.
Freedom.
Presence.
Aliveness.
That quiet knowing that life was never meant to be survived—it was meant to be lived.
The Drift Back Into Default
When I got home, I noticed how quickly life speeds back up.
To-dos. Projects. Emails. Bills.
And while none of that is wrong…
I could feel myself drifting again—away from the calm, the clarity, the truth I’d touched.
So I paused.
And I asked:
Am I building the life I truly want?
Or am I just keeping up?
A New Life Map
That’s when I sat down and created something I call my Future Self Plan.
Not a to-do list.
Not a productivity hack.
But a clear, soulful blueprint for the life I want to live.
One that honors:
🌞 My dreams.
🧘🏽♂️ My energy.
💛 My deepest values.
Because the truth is:
We don’t exist to pay bills.
We don’t hustle just to retire someday.
We are here to create. To love. To dance. To dream.
And to design a life that feels like freedom.
Coming Home to Myself
This month isn’t just about sand and sunburns.
It’s about remembering.
✨ Remembering that self-love isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity.
🌊 That your body needs spaciousness.
🌴 That joy isn’t found in “more,” but in real.
And that the life your heart craves? It starts with the choices you make today.
This is your permission slip:
To say no to what drains you.
To say yes to what nourishes you.
To follow what makes you feel most alive.
