I'm great at telling myself what to do—terrible at actually doing it. At 42, I can give away everything and move to a new country without blinking, but trying a new restaurant solo? That feels like moving a mountain. My cousin Mirella called me out: "HOW are you making change happen? What actions are you actually taking?" I had no answer. Just more research, more plans, more knowing. That's when I realized I needed structure for the doing part—something simple enough that I couldn't overthink my way out of it. Enter: my 3 Things a Week framework. Three small actions from seven areas of life. No perfection required. Just consistent movement toward the woman I'm becoming. Because here's the truth: we all know what we need to do. The gap isn't in the knowing—it's in the doing. And that gap? That's where this framework lives.

Fear almost always arrives wearing the mask of wisdom, promising to protect me from this world of disappointment. But I'm learning that what it actually guards against is life itself—the beautiful, sometimes messy experience of being alive. When I let fear make my choices, I trade the possibility of deep connection for the guarantee of shallow safety.
