When life gives you lemons… what’s your go-to response? 🍋
Do you spiral into “worst-case scenario” mode… or do you reframe and find the good?

Here’s the truth: not every tough moment has to take you down. Sometimes it’s about noticing the negative self-talk, grabbing those lemons, and turning them into something that actually fuels you forward.

✨ Quick tip: start a gratitude journal. Writing down just 2–3 things you’re thankful for each day trains your brain to see possibility instead of problems.

💬 Tell me in the comments — what’s ONE thing you are grateful for today?

👉 Want more practical tips? I break down how to actually reframe your thoughts (step by step) in this blog: https://amandafludd.com/2023/05/03/when-life-gives-you-lemons-reframe-your-thoughts/

🌿 What if your productivity system is actually making you more stressed?

Most of us have been taught that self-care is bubble baths and spa days—but let’s talk about the real tea: how you manage your time, your energy, and your to-do list is self-care.

In our next after care episode from the Self-Care Summit, we’re breaking down:
🔥 Why your “organized” routine might be adding pressure instead of peace
🔥 What you’re missing when it comes to motivation and momentum
🔥 How to shift your mindset AND your systems to finally get the important things done—without feeling so exhausted.

Late-night thoughts...

Wellness isn’t a reward for finishing the list. It’s the reason you rewrite it.

Because burnout isn’t a badge of honor.
Rethink how you plan and push so it aligns with your needs and what really matters. Too many of you are burning out trying to finish that never-ending to do list.

Mental Health wears many faces.

As we wrap the week, can we pause and check in—not with your calendar, but with your capacity?

Burnout isn’t always about doing too much. Sometimes it’s the result of never being given permission to slow down.

Two mindset shifts that will sharpen your clarity, protect your peace, and remind you that rest is strategic—not optional.

We often discuss burnout as a badge of honor—“I’m just doing too much,” or “I need a vacation.” But for many high-achieving professionals, burnout is a symptom of something deeper.

On the car ride this morning 1010 WINS reported the death of two toddlers at the hands of another human. . .We are in trouble and will continue to see folks struggling emotionally and making harmful decisions for many reasons.

With economic instability, there is even less investment in mental health and well-being. The once insured lose access to health coverage and providers, and centers lose funding.
Stress is on the rise.
Anxiety is on the rise.
Help is on the decline.
A lot is happening, but we must realize that we can't compromise mental health and the resources needed to sustain it.

For those of you who can make it, here is an opportunity to get some peace of mind, if just for a moment. RSVP, tag a friend and share it in your circles. We all need a moment to breathe and be validated.
