What's up friend,

Hope your weekend is off to a rad start! This week, I break down karma with an homage to Justin Timberlake.

A quick head's up, we're opening a small (second) cohort of Group Coaching. If you're an ambitious and high-achieving professional who's constantly asking yourself "Is this it?" - this group is for you.

I'll personally take you through a 3-month program that helps executives and leaders find fulfillment, creative inspiration and a deep sense of aliveness through coaching, peer support and accountability.

We make everything harder

3 minutes | Zen Habits
​

Human beings like making things harder for ourselves. We add extra and unnecessary stress, worry, and complexity to everyday tasks. By simplifying, trusting ourselves, and focusing on the next step, we can approach tasks with greater ease and bring a sense of play to everything we do.

Have your financial goals lost the plot?

2 minutes | Money with Katie
​

In the age-old debate of goals vs systems I’ve always been on #TeamSystems. And this also applies to managing your money. Systems allow you to focus on things you control, help you avoid the hedonic treadmill and focuses you on the journey over destination.
