Dear Reader,

It's Monday, and I'm sending you BIG Monday Mojo

Instead of a Friday fist bump, I’m sending you BIG Monday Mojo for a hopeful, courageous, energy-filled week.
​

My Friday series, social media, and newsletter have been quiet for a couple of weeks. Since my father passed away on September 5, I’ve shifted my work into a lower gear. When we are facing hard things, it is important to take the time we need to process and heal in the way that serves us best.

I wrote about my father’s influence in a Substack article. As I continue to grieve, I also find myself hopeful. Hopeful because I believe his soul is at peace; hopeful about the relationship I will continue to grow with him in death; and, most importantly, hopeful for my own life and how I will use it to support the growth and healing of others.

On this Monday, I am choosing courage.

I wrote on LinkedIn about the power of courage. It is often described as the emotional threshold that shifts our energy from fear and powerlessness toward possibility and empowerment.

Here we are on a Monday in the middle of September—moving into a new season, another round of holidays, and the final quarter of the year. That can mean a lot for our work, businesses, families, and energy. On top of it all, you may be carrying a challenge, a hard thing, or simply a very full schedule.

The truth is: even when facing a long to-do list or a really hard thing, you have Mojo to pull from, and...

You have hope.
You have courage.

And when you connect to both, they can give you the energy to move through Monday, one grounded, intentional step at a time.

Before you move into your week, pause for one minute and ask yourself:

• What am I hopeful for right now?
• What would courage look like in one small next step?
• What energy do I want to bring into this week?

Take a breath. Place your feet firmly on the floor. Choose one courageous action—however small.

Let hope be the reason you keep moving, and let courage be the way you begin.

Sending you BIG Monday Mojo,
