Reader,
🎧🎧 Listen to Sunday Sunshine HERE​ 🎧🎧
That pit in your stomach on Sunday evening? It’s not just anxiety. It’s your soul whispering: You were made for more than this.
LinkedIn reports that 70% of us feel the Sunday Scaries—that deep dread about the week ahead.
What if I told you that feeling is a calling?
The quality of your week ahead is determined by the quality of your thoughts about the week ahead.
I started writing Sunday Sunshine after years of that dreaded Sunday feeling. Here’s what changed not just my weeks, but my relationship with time and purpose.
Your To-Do List Is Stealing Your Dreams
Every morning, millions of people wake up and ask the wrong question: “What do I need to get done today?”
This question keeps you small.
It keeps you busy.
It keeps you forever reacting to other people’s priorities while your dreams gather dust.
Your to-do list isn’t productivity—it’s procrastination disguised as progress.
Time management tactics don't work if you are spending time on outcomes that are not moving you toward what you really want. This rethink is the difference between living on default versus living by design.
What if you started each day asking instead:
- What’s worth my best energy today?
- What would move me closer to who I want to be?
- What would my future self thank me for doing this week?
Every morning, I write down three commitments to my future self. Not tasks to check off. Not busy work to get through. Three sacred investments in who I’m becoming and the impact I’m meant to make.
When you shift from "to-do" to “To My Future,” something magical happens. You stop being a victim of your schedule and become the architect of your destiny.
Your Calendar Reveals Your Values
Show me your calendar, and I’ll show you what you really value.
For years, I let meetings run my life. I was busy, important, indispensable—and empty.
Then I worked with someone who blocked “Me Time” for two hours every single day. While I mocked it, he was building something extraordinary. He became a successful, fulfilled leader and family man.
I was drowning in other people’s urgencies.
You must create sacred space for your highest self before you can serve your highest purpose.
Your calendar isn’t just a scheduling tool—it’s a declaration of what you want.
When you protect time for your future first, everything else finds its rightful place.
Instead of dreading Monday, what if you designed it?
Start with impossible. What would make this week extraordinary? Your imagination is the birthplace of every breakthrough.
Ask yourself: “What would have to be true for magic to happen this week?”
Write your three future commitments. Promises to your soul. They’re the bridge between who you are and who you’re meant to become.
Make one bold ask. Extraordinary lives are built on extraordinary requests. What would you ask for if you knew the answer was yes?
You Are the Author of Your Story
I used to have 40 browser tabs open, thinking it made me productive. All it did was fragment my soul and scatter my power.
Busy is not brave.
Busy is not noble.
Busy is the enemy of everything beautiful you’re meant to create.
Your future is not something that happens to you—it’s something you create with every choice, every priority, every sacred yes and powerful no.
When you stop managing time and start designing your destiny, you don’t just change your schedule. You change your life.
The people who matter most in your life—they don’t need you to be busy. They need you to be whole. They need you to be the fullest expression of who you were created to be.
This is your invitation to stop living by other people’s priorities and start building your life on purpose.
Your most extraordinary week starts with one question: What does my future self need me to do today?___________________________________________________________________________________
P.S. What if your team could experience this shift together?
This email was inspired my Do Something Impossible Workshop this week — and I want to bring this soul-stirring experience directly to your team, membership, or association. Imagine your people walking into a room feeling stuck, overwhelmed, playing small—and walking out with fire in their eyes and an impossible goal that feels inevitable.
This isn't another talking head workshop that fades by Tuesday. In 90 minutes, your team will:
-Shatter the invisible beliefs that have been quietly sabotaging their potential.
-Discover exactly who they need to become to create their impossible.
-Identify the people who belong in their success story.
-Walk away with a roadmap that transforms dreams into done.
Your people don't need another pep talk. They need permission to believe in their own magnificence.
Whether you're battling summer doldrums, kickstarting Q4, or ready to unleash the extraordinary that's been waiting inside your organization—let's do something impossible together.
