There was a time in my life when saying yes to a random Tuesday night dinner with a group of women would have felt almost impossible.

Not because I didn't want to go. Because I had built a life with absolutely no margin for it.

I taught six (sometimes seven) days a week, helped run our business, and somehow convinced myself that taking time off—for dinner, lunch with a friend, even an Elton John concert Tony bought me tickets to—was something I should feel guilty about.

And the crazy part?

I didn't realize how much my life had consumed me until I stepped outside of it.

In this episode of Fighting For Your Fairytale, I'm talking about what I've learned since leaving that season of my life, why your dream life might look a whole lot more “ordinary” than you imagined, and something I'm realizing even now: I'm starting to fill every minute of my schedule again.

We're talking about creating margin, learning to say no, making room to say yes to yourself, outgrowing a life you once loved, and asking whether you actually “don't have time”—or whether you've built a life that doesn't have room for the things you say matter to you.

Plus, I'm sharing three completely random things making my life a little better right now… including the TMI supplement update nobody asked for, how I'm using ChatGPT in my kitchen, and the very sophisticated act of buying myself an iced coffee. 😂

Your Fairytale Fight this week:
What's one thing you keep saying you want to do but “don't have time for”? Look at your life and ask: Do I truly not have time—or have I built a life that doesn't have room for it?

You only get one life. Make room to actually live it.
