Thank you for this, Jess. My gods. You have managed to be both incredibly relatable and deeply inspirational at the same time. My hat, if I wore one, would be off to you.
I have often said that I have two speeds: 100mph and dead in the water. I do not say this to brag. At all. I know it’s unsustainable. And not super smart. I wonder sometimes if it’s me or the world I live in. I don’t remember being like this as a kid.
So, thanks for writing this and sharing it. I feel called out, but also seen. 💜
I'll take a figurative hat! I love hats (hence the profile pic 🤭) But more than the hat, I'll take connecting with you in some way that felt both like a gentle challenge and a deep understanding. I'm becoming more and more convinced that what we've been giving what we think is 100% of ourselves, what we're actually giving is 120%, and so when we become fully depleted which is just math, we find ourselves shocked to be at 0. I'd like to hover at a strong, consistent 80%. Let me keep the other 20% just for me. #lifegoals
Yep. And I’m feeling this IN MY BONES right this minute as I’m 15 minutes away from a Zoom call I’m running, but am immobilized on my couch and could 100% close my eyes and be asleep in 30 seconds. I need to do better. We all do. xo
Things are blurry at the moment. Always a good sign that the balancing act isn’t quite balanced. I definitely need to do better. In it with you girl! Cat nap for 10 and then fix your face??
Thank you so much for gifting us this generous term! It has become a practice for me, which means I am still actively working on it, but wow, it really is life changing.

Thanks so much for this lovely and inspirational post. I'm so happy that one of my favorite words has now become one of yours. Underdrive is the way.
