Hi Reader🙋🏼‍♀️

Yesterday, I hit my limit. I woke up and thought, nope, I just can’t do it today. My body was tired, my head thumping, and everything in me said: rest.

So I listened.

I spent the day on the lounge with my wheat bags, a good supply of Hydralite and paracetamol, and alone time bingeing Queer Eye on Netflix (no regrets!).

In one episode, one of the Fab 5 shared a story from his childhood. A woman in his life used to tell him, “Your thoughts are like seeds. Your words are like the weather.” Whenever he said something negative, she’d cheerfully call out:

“Crop failure!”📣

It stopped him in his tracks—reminding him that he had a choice. That his inner voice could either grow something beautiful, or ruin the whole garden.

That little moment made me smile. Because choosing rest yesterday—choosing kindness over pressure—was me protecting my inner crop.

It also reminded me of how much my inner narrative has changed in the last 20 years since I started my own healing adventure.

I have a beautiful garden, and I'm proud of how far I've come🌱

So I’m passing the message on to you today:

🌾Catch those harsh thoughts.
🌦 Choose better weather.
🌱Protect what you’re growing.

Please don't mistake these tips for toxic positivity, we need to process our emotions (that's another email for another day).

But..

What's your everyday narrative? It's time to pay attention to your garden.

The language in your mind and your mouth is directly connected to your self love, or lack of it. Your connection to self determines your success in love, work, wealth, and happiness.

Give it some thought..

And when you notice your inner critic flaring up, feel free to say it out loud with me:
​“Crop failure!” 🙌
