3. LETS GO USMNT 🤩🎉⚽️🇺🇸
I miss being on here regularly. Miss knowing what all is going on with my #fintwit fam. 🫶
Just out here trying to squeeze everything I can out of this one life I get. 🤩
“The opposite of scarcity is not ‘abundance’. The opposite of scarcity is ‘enough’.” @BreneBrown
Both our girls fought hard through this last school year to get to the end
Felt like a thousand moments where we just did “the next right thing” bc the big picture was too overwhelming
I’m so proud (and relieved) that they (we) made it 🤍😭
A question inspired from the latest convo between @MJNewfield and @moseleywilliams - what’s your answer? 🤔

Another fantastic episode of @howherepod, this time with @moseleywilliams, who’s given me such good unsolicited advice that if I’d followed it my firm would be twice the size it is now.
No need to be an advisor to listen to this one.

If there’s one tip I can offer investors of all stripes, it’s this…
Emotional intelligence trumps IQ, data crunching, politics, whatever.
If you can control your emotions when it comes to investing, you’ll outperform pretty much everyone.
And rather easily.
I unfortunately didn’t make it onto the live interview for this episode, so @MJNewfield had to step in and be the hero that he is
Either way, it was awesome to have @moseleywilliams say yes to us and share some of his journey 🙏
The episode is out now - enjoy!! 😊

One observation after a year plus of tracking calories/macros is that a shocking amount of "hunger" is just poor sleep or intense emotion.

Digging this quote that someone gave me the other day (from a play lyric written by Stephen Sondheim) -
“I chose and my world was shaken, so what? The choice may have been mistaken, the choosing was not.”

– Khalil Gibran
This week’s episode is about the cost of numbing ourselves.
I call it emotional graying—the quiet, creeping flattening of life that happens when we shut the door on pain... and find we’ve also locked out joy.
We cover:
• What Miss Havisham from Dickens’ Great Expectations teaches us about what happens when we freeze in grief
• Why she’s not just a character, but a powerful metaphor for the way we all try to escape pain
• How emotional graying steals our highs and lows, leaving us stuck in a muted middle
• Why running from heartbreak means we may also be running from beauty, awe, and connection
• How vulnerability is often the doorway to greatness—not a detour from it
If you’ve ever gone numb to avoid getting hurt, this one’s for you.
It’s a call to feel again.

ICYMI, I've started a comics blog! This week I wrote about Absolute Wonder Woman #7, which retells the short story, "The Lady, or the Tiger?" and raises big questions of free will and fate.
