THE EMBER 🔥Your Weekly Spark for Productivity & Success

Good morning, firestarters!

One of my goals for June comes down to just one word: consistency.

Cue the collective coffee-spit-take from everyone who's noticed The Ember's mysterious vanishing act these past few weeks.

Yes, yes, I see you there with your raised eyebrows and that "really, girl?" expression. I HAVE AN EXCUSE, and it's a doozy, so buckle up.

Let's talk about consistency, shall we? You know, that magical unicorn I've been chasing while simultaneously running in seventeen different directions like a caffeinated squirrel. The irony isn't lost on me that I spend my days helping others avoid the productivity quicksand pit while I'm over here doing my best impression of someone slowly sinking into said pit with a smile and a motivational quote.

Here's the thing: I genuinely believe every word I preach about rest being productive and consistency being key. The problem? I cope with life the way some people cope with awkward silence—by filling every possible moment with something. Anything. Everything.

Plot twist: Phoenix on Fire has been telling you that rest IS productive since day one. But apparently, I thought I was exempt from my own wisdom. Spoiler alert: I'm not.

So here's where May decided to serve me a reality check with a side of cosmic humor. Picture this: I win a scholarship for international travel (Costa Rica, here I come in March!), and I'm riding high on that victory. Then—because the universe has a sense of timing—I promptly suffered not one, but TWO serious heat strokes that knocked me flat.

And I mean flat. We're talking lost cognitive function, folks. My brain decided to take an unscheduled vacation while my body staged a full rebellion. My doctor—bless him, he's been my biggest cheerleader—gave me the sternest lecture of my adult life. Turns out, when you forget to slow down, your body will slow you down. Aggressively.

So here we are on June 2nd, and every month is indeed a chance for reset (see? I do listen to myself occasionally). This month, my focus is still on consistency, but with a delightful plot twist: instead of consistently overworking myself into the ground, I'm choosing to consistently take care of the person running this whole show—me.

Revolutionary concept, right?

Wish me luck, because apparently I'm going to need it.

Now, speaking of consistency—and actually practicing what I preach about self-care—I've discovered something that's been consistently bringing me joy during my recovery: making planning feel fun again. Because sometimes the best way to rebuild healthy habits is to trick your brain into thinking they're play, not work.

Exciting news, just ahead!
