Welcome to Monday Magic, a new branch of Make It Make Sense. Every Monday I’ll walk you through my own “Visionary Day” practices so you can create your own version. Think of this as the rituals, riches, and realignment to start your week from.
ENERGY OF THE WEEK:
I can’t believe we’re starting our sixth week in Spain. Will and I were saying this weekend how it feels like it’s been both incredibly short and incredibly long at the same time. Six weeks since we said goodbye feels like forever ago—and yet six weeks of limbo, in-between, and busyness trying to get our ducks in a row also feels like forever. Time is confusing like that.
This week is stacked—we’re (hopefully) getting our visa approval (which unlocks the confusing next steps), continuing IVF priming, moving short-term rentals, waiting to hear back on a long-term lease, and hosting my mom somewhat unexpectedly for a few days at the end of the week. (Turns out you can’t just mail blood or spit samples from the US for genetic testing. Cue me texting her at 4am (her time) two weeks ago: “Hey, I’m buying you a flight to Spain in two weeks—what days work for you?”)
It would be easy to get swallowed by the pressure and logistics of it all. But I’ve (thankfully, finally) landed in rituals that keep me anchored and am embracing trust, daily rhythms, and the Spanish lack of urgency. Reaction-mode isn’t the helpful choice right now.
The card that came through was the Two of Wands. Threshold energy. The reminder that discernment is power: Which direction actually serves you? What deserves your yes, and what doesn’t? It’s not about piling on more—it’s about moving deliberately, in the way that actually supports you.
That feels alive for me right now. Life is full, but the best way through isn’t force—it’s choosing with intention. Not just what do I want to do, but how do I want to move toward it?
For you, I wonder: What needs more intention and less rushing? Where can slowing down and practicing discernment serve you more than rushing?
THE SPIRIT OF MY BUSINESS:
A part of my Visionary Day practice involves connecting with The Spirit of My Business in meditation. Asking what it needs of me, what needs to be shared or done, and if there are any other important messages to be shared?
Today’s Message: Be the kind of person WHO. You know what you want, you know how you want it to feel. Your job—your ONLY job—is to lead with that. Come back to it. Stay in it.
SETTING INTENTIONS:
My Words: Shift / Expand / Embody
RECONNECTION:
The Big Vision: A business and life that is RICH in freedom—time freedom, financial freedom, and emotional freedom. Being excellent at my craft and supporting others well. Doing work I love and being compensated well for it.
The Current Integration: In the fun and the play, clarity lands. Now to move through all the stories that say ‘why not me’.
JOURNALING ON:
What does success really mean in this current season?
What influences, rules, and “shoulds” am I ready to put down?
Where have I been trying to be/show up as someone else?
What are my favorite parts of my own approach, ideas, or beliefs?
How can I nourish my connection with self?
EXPLORING:
If I wasn’t afraid of upsetting anyone, failing, looking dumb, or any other reasons my brain offers—THEN what would I be focusing on and building?
Where have I let others desires influence my own too heavily? Is it possible to respectfully disagree or desire something different? Will that mean loss of connection?
DESIRING:
(who’s napkin math (RIP LOL) inspired this share!) and I host a podcast called Wanting In Public (Spotify, Apple) where we talk a lot about desires. This morning, I am craving:Still this MFING APARTMENT, lol. 🤞🏻 (it’s August and was a big holiday weekend so… no movement yet)
New guests joining our retreat in Spain this fall
To get our Visa approval this week! And then figure out…. everything else. 😅
RICH LIST:
I’ve been tracking this daily over on Threads and it’s been so fun. Here are some things that come to mind, this morning.
Rich in to-do list items.
Rich in surrendering control and letting Will take the lead on life-stuff (this has been the goal with retiring him, but your girl is a control freak—SHOCKER I KNOW).
Rich in clarity on the next 8-12 months for my business, hehe! The web was webbing the last few days and puzzle pieces have clicked together.
BRAGS/CLAIMS/DIGESTING:
I’m bragging: I’m building a new portal (VISIONARY) that is going to be so fucking magical and world-changing for the humans inside. I’m so excited to bring this to life. If you know how I build offers, the emoji is a big part of the process. I present: 🍇 !!!!
I’m claiming: I’m only inviting in one more private client for 2025. 👀
I’m digesting: I live in Spain. I’m doing IVF. I’m still in so much grief. I’m allowed to experience good things.
Okay, your turn. What’s some magic you can bring into your Monday?
Integrating more visioning into my Mondays from now🫶🏼
loved reading this as always ♡
