If Carlsberg made LinkedIn Trainers | 1-1 & Company Training | Join 470+ solopreneurs & small business owners in my membership community, The HoLT (ask me how)

You've tried communities before but they never live up to the hype, do they? The founder only shows up for calls, the chat is dead or clique-y, they're either women only, or full of d*ck swinging sales bros pitch slapping you into oblivion, and you only get the *good stuff* if you pay for the upsells...and you're left feeling...deflated, womp womp. 

*clears throat, stretches out arms, JAZZ HANDS* until... The HoLT!

We have none of that malarkey. 

No upsells, no tiered memberships, and categorically, absolutely, without question... no knobs. 

"But LEA, what is The HoLT?" I hear you cry. It's an inclusive, vibrant, fun, affordable community of over 500 small business owners, freelancers, side hustlers and employees, coming together for weekly masterclasses from ACTUAL experts, teaching every business skill you could possibly need to improve how YOU do business, from copywriting to confidence building, AI to automation, PR to passive income. 

And unlike other communities, we record every masterclass, add it to the library, and no matter when you join, you get access to ALL of them (currently over 150!)

But there's so much more; weekly community calls for informal networking, content support, tech clinics to tackle your IT nightmares, in-person co-working days, online co-working, wellbeing sessions, LinkedIn clinics... I could go on but I'd ruin your surprise and delight when you join. 

And unlike most founders, I am in The HoLT every single day (in sickness and in health, til death do us part) because I genuinely care about the members, love connecting people, nurturing them and supporting them. 

I was sick of being a lonely solopreneur. I had no one to share my wins & failures with, who'd understand, not judge me, to ask for reliable advice when I needed it without making me feel stupid, to learn with, grow with, and make it fun along the way. So, I created a safe space for others who felt the same. It has grown and evolved over the past 3 years, to become a magical space full of the sorts of people you WANT on your side in business, cheering you on and encouraging you when sh*t gets tough. 

We open the doors to 25 new members every month, and we'd love you to be one of them (unless you're one of the aforementioned knobs). Check us out and get on the waiting list at www.the-holt.com or DM me if you want to know more, I promise I don't bite!

PS. If communities aren't your *thing* we have The Vault. Access 150+ masterclass recordings with new ones added weekly, for just £20/month, no contract or commitment.

Providing bespoke 1:1 and group LinkedIn training, digital courses and in-person workshops for businesses. 

I apologise to anyone who woke up with “officially not a knob” stamped on their hand. 

And to those scratching tattoos of my face off various body parts.  

For the sore heads and aching cheeks. 

But last night was absolutely worth it. 

This is what real community is. 

It’s joy. It’s friendship. It’s mutual support and respect. 

It’s dancing, laughter, vulnerability, collaboration, shared values despite diverse experiences. 

There is no other community like The HoLT. 

Thank you for giving me the best job in the world 🩷

PS yes that’s the real life Backdoor Barry I’m sat on.

LinkedIn sort your goddamn sh*t out. 

When I switched my gender demographic last week to “prefer not to say”, my content reach doubled. And has continued to soar. 

As a result, there’s been a significant increase in inappropriate comments and messages from men I’m not connected with. 

And predictably, when I bothered to report this prime example, you tell me it “does not go against our professional community policies”.

WTAF?

So, if one of your male employees said this to one of your female employees, would that be acceptable? Or would they be hauled over the coals by HR?

And if this comment was actually reviewed by AI and not a “member of your trust and safety team”, why are you lying to us that our comments are reviewed by humans?

AND ALSO, why, when I ask ChatGPT whether it considers this comment appropriate on LinkedIn, it gave me a very definitive no, so if you ARE using AI for this, what inept toddler programmed it? (ChatGPT’s response in comments). 

This is NOT good enough.
You are NOT making women feel safe or valued on this platform. 

You’ve been promising to do better for the six years I’ve been on this platform and I’m yet to see evidence of any improvement. 

It’s frankly disgusting. 

Why isn’t our safety and respect a priority for you?

graphical user interface, text, application

“LinkedIn are not restricting reach of women’s content”

Well, I’d like LinkedIn to explain why, when I switched my profile gender identity from “woman” to “prefer not to say” on 17th November, my post reach rocketed.

- posted at a similar time 
- similar number of reactions
- same number of reposts 
- similar comment numbers 
- less replies to comments from me

And yet the difference is abundantly clear. 

I welcome women to try it with me. 

Go to your settings ➡️ account preferences ➡️ personal demographic ➡️ gender identity ➡️ select prefer not to say. 

And report back with your findings after your next few posts. 

If they’re not restricting women’s content, it’ll just be a fluke for me, right?

But if they are… I smell trouble ahead.

The most powerful marketing tools I've discovered are ones people rarely consider.

But I do, in droves, and the ROI is beyond anything else I've tried. 

They are these:

Personalisation and whimsy

On Wednesday, I welcomed 150+ members from The HoLT community to a party in central London. And I remembered every single name of my members. 

Not through revision, but because I am in there every day getting to know people. 

The drinks tokens had the faces of members on them. 
The entrance stamp for their hands said 'Officially not a knob'
I hired an actor to embody our fictional security guard, Backdoor Barry, with a full character profile I'd written so he could entertain the guests - even down to the name of his fictional dog. 
The party bags contained handmade HoLT keyrings my son and I had sat for hours making, attached with little pegs to thank you notes I had handwritten. 
Amusing temporary tattoos were hidden in the bathrooms for people to put on and show off.

All designed to surprise and delight the people I'm privileged to call clients. 
Hours well-spent to show them that they are important and appreciated. 
Made with love, to make them feel loved. 

And it's touches like this that people never expect but always remember. 
That they take photos of and post about, spreading the brand's message farther and wider.

There is not enough joy in the world.
But it is a feeling like no other to ensure you and your brand are remembered. 

So if I can recommend one marketing tip that has got me to where I am, with a multi six figure business I love working on every single day?

Make people smile. 

It works. 

Photo is of Backdoor Barry removing me from my own party. The rogue.

See you soon, partygoers!

I’ll be the one dressed like a K Pop song!

I’m currently rebuilding my website because honestly, it doesn’t answer the questions most people ask about the business. 

It should be launched in the new year, but in the meantime, here’s the answers to what lots of you are asking:

1. The HoLT has members all over the world, but most are in the UK. In fact 2 members in Aus & NZ met for coffee last week!

2. Masterclasses & calls are all between 10am-4pm GMT with occasional evening community calls. If you’re 8+ hours ahead you may find the live calls a bit late, BUT

3. All masterclasses are recorded & kept forever in the library (200+ already inside). Watch any time, like Netflix for biz.

4. YES we do welcome employed people. Whether you’re a lonely remote worker or just want to learn, we’re here for you too!

5. YES, we do offer discounts for 2+ people from the same biz. DM me to sort that. 

6. NO, it’s not an engagement pod. Posts requesting engagement on content are removed and I politely explain the rules. 

7. I know we joke, but it’s not actually a cult. Being a HoLTie is a mindset - where you cheer for people’s wins, ask for and share help, accept and respect differences, celebrate uniqueness, and value integrity and honesty. People who disrupt our efforts to make it a safe space are removed (only had to do this 4 times in 3.5 years). 

8. It’s £65/month or £650/year. You can cancel a monthly membership any time if it’s not for you. No hard feelings. 

9. There is no ‘typical’ industry in The HoLT, but MOST are online service providers. 

10. We are extremely active. The chat channels in our app are rarely quiet. People are friendly and supportive. No question goes unanswered. 

11. There’s no age limit! We have members from 25 to early 70s!

12. Yes you can gift a membership to someone.  We sell gift vouchers!

And lastly:

YES I’m in there. I’m not an absent founder who gets you in then disappears. 

I host community calls, speed networking, monthly question time, guest masterclasses, and I’m in and out the app ALL THE TIME. 

Any others I’ve missed?

We’re not officially opening the doors again this year, but I can slip you in the backdoor if you ask nicely 😉 

(Photo of me and my fab community manager and biz bestie Danielle Davies 🩷)

A little bit of fun for a Sunday morning 🤭 

Just waiting for my call up from Disney for their new modern day princess ☎️

I've had so many people asking about the next party... They don't want to wait a WHOLE YEAR. 

So, I'm making a promise. 

We will do it again in the summer, but ONLY if we reach our target of 650 members. 

That's another 130 people inside The HoLT before March 2026. 

And then I will arrange a HUGE summer party for all our members and their friends. 

Can we do it?

If you're a solopreneur, small business owner, side hustler, or employee sick of working alone... The HoLT is THE number one community filled with gorgeous humans. 

The type you can turn to in crisis
The ones who will hold your hand when you need us
That will have you laughing so hard you're worried a bit of wee will come out
Who take business very seriously, while having serious fun doing it

Will you be one of the new members that helps secure a summer party?

Drop me a DM if you want in. 

There's a party bag with your name on it.

And if you want the names of any of these brilliant experts, let me know and I'll pass them on. 

But what's even better... you'll be able to find them yourself, soon, when we release our Hire a HoLTie Directory!

Keep your eyes peeled. It's coming VERY soon!!

I’m finally embracing AI in my business 😟

I'm getting my first Custom GPT - say hello to BarryBot! 

Barry can answer all our HoLT members’ questions about our new HoLT Directory (coming very soon); how to fill in their profile for success, how it works, guidance on what to say, and we'll keep feeding him more questions as they arise. 

Next stage is to also make him able to recommend other HoLT members to meet based on interests and needs, recommend masterclasses based on what members are trying to achieve, and LOADS more!

And he’ll do it in typically gruff and amusing Barry style 😆

This won't be INSTEAD of me, it'll be as well as me, so members can get answers faster, any time of day. 

I refuse to clone myself with AI and mislead people into thinking they're talking to me, but a separate BarryBot will be SO helpful to our members!!

Slightly concerned what my wildly unhinged and creative mind will come up with now I’ve been unleashed on AI 😬

What ways are you leveraging AI to help your clients?

>>> Let's position you as the expert that you are.

I’m staring at my screen and, for the first time in years, I feel invisible here.

(Repost for more women to see)

Lately, whatever I share here feels like it falls into a black hole.
A few month ago, my posts reached thousands.
Now?
I’m lucky if they scratch one thousand.
And it’s not for lack of trying.

I’ve tested everything:

→ content that previously went viral
→ storytelling, thought-leadership
→ new photos, no photos
→ long form, short form, pattern interrupts

Same result: silence.

At first I thought it was just me.
Maybe my content wasn’t landing.
Maybe the algorithm was having a mood swing.
Maybe I needed to “speak louder,” “be clearer,” “post differently.”

Then yesterday, I read Kelly Allison’s post.

And suddenly… everything clicked.

She wrote what so many women have been whispering in private messages for months:

Women’s voices are slipping off the feed.
Not gradually.
Visibly.

Women who run companies.
Women who lead teams.
Women who write with nuance softness.
Women like me …women like you.

Their reach has crashed.
Mine too.

And then came the part that shook me:

Some women experimented with changing their gender on LinkedIn.
Overnight, their reach increased.

Read. That. Again.

It’s not the stories. The writing.

It’s the gender marker attached to the voice.

In other words:

If men share feelings, it’s leadership.
If women share feelings, it’s self-reflection.

This isn’t a glitch.
This is a pattern.

And if women who speak about culture, well-being, leadership, mindset, emotion, healing, performance, and lived experience are being deprioritised… what future of work are we building?

I refuse to perform a robotic version of myself to stay visible.

So here I am.
Naming it.

I see what’s happening.
And I’m still here.

Women’s voices are not optional.
They’re not “nice to have.”
They are the pulse of modern leadership.

And I won’t be shapeshifting to fit a system that wasn’t built for us.

⸻

My secret to setting boundaries that work

(Like, save, reshare for the friend who needs this.)

The shift?

It happens when you stop living for others.

When you realise saying “yes” to everything
is saying “no” to yourself.

Boundaries aren’t walls.
They’re clarity.

Clarity about the career you want.
The business you’re building.
The life you’re designing.

2026 is coming…

Step into it knowing WHO you are
and WHAT you stand for.

→ Say yes to what aligns with your values.
→ Say no to what doesn’t.

And here’s how to make it happen:

	1.	Call out what no longer serves you.

	2.	Focus on your desired outcome.

	3.	Protect your energy like it’s your greatest asset

(because it is).

Boundaries aren’t selfish.
They’re where growth begins.

PS: 80% of my biggest wins in 2025
came from saying “no.”

One thing you’ll say no to in 2026?

People think life abroad is champagne skies and freedom on demand.

That distance is glamorous. 
That movement means happiness.

What they don’t talk about is the quiet cost.

Being far. Always being far.

We convince ourselves that time is guaranteed. 
That we’ll go back “soon.”
That love waits. 
That nothing changes when we’re not looking.

And then one call pulls the floor from under your certainties.

Yesterday morning, I called my mother.
But this time, another voice answered.
My heart dropped into my heels.
For a few seconds, everything went silent inside me. 
My heart stopped beating.

In those seconds,
money meant nothing.
Visibility meant nothing.
Achievements meant nothing.

Only one thought remained:
Please, let her be okay.

The hardest part of distance is not missing.
It’s not knowing. It’s not being able to run.
It’s the helplessness of loving
with an ocean in between.

And suddenly, every priority rearranges itself.
Quietly. Ruthlessly.

What is success, really?
A number on a screen?
Or the ability to show up in the good
and the unbearable?

Today reminded me of what actually matters.
Not later. Now.

Distance teaches you what matters the hard way. 
Not through milestones. 
Through moments that take your breath away.

Hold your people close.
Even when you’re far. 🫶

P.S: Ready to fly back home.

Most people think they’re learning.

( they are not)

They binge-watch courses.
They consume content.
They take notes.

But they never implement.

And if they do?

They do it once…and never loop back for refinement.

Real learning isn’t about watching.

It’s about:

- Trying → Failing → Integrating
- Teaching it to someone else.
- Getting real-time feedback from people ahead of you.

That’s how mastery is built.

If you’re consuming more than you’re implementing….

You’re not actually learning. 

Most people will save this.
A few will act.

Which one are you?

P.S: Don’t know about you, but I am so ready for a change?🙆‍♀️ Message me if you are.

I did not prepare this post.
( I know, shocking)

No dramatic hook.
No bullet-pointed insights.

Just a quiet moment of reflection after an evening that reminded me what it means to be in the right room.

I was invited to the Mayfair Collective  ball in London by the amazing Corina Goetz.

Not for business.
Not to network.
Not to be seen.

I accepted because something about the invitation felt real, intentional.

The room was beautiful.
The people, even more so.
But what truly stood out was the atmosphere: elegant, intelligent, generous.

No one asked, “So, what do you do?”
Instead, we spoke about ideas. Transitions. Quiet power.
Legacy-building without the noise.
The kind of conversations that stay with you long after the music fades.

There is a quiet confidence in spaces like that.
Where people listen more than they speak.
Where presence is the only currency that matters.

I left feeling inspired and reminded of this:

The right people. The right room. The right moment.

That is where the magic lives.

No call to action. No lead magnet. No “connect with me below.”

Just a reflection:

Put yourself in more rooms that lift you.
You never know who you will walk away with.

P.S: Ever been to a black tie ball before?

I get asked all the time:
“How do you build confidence in business?”

The answer?

Act like you’re already there.

You don’t become a rockstar because people pay you.
People pay you because you act like a rockstar.

→ Write like the leader you want to be.
→ Speak like the expert you already are.
→ Sell like you believe in your offer 1000%.

If you only feel confident once people show up
if you’re always waiting for external validation …

you’ll always struggle.

But if you show up as if they’re already here?

They will be.
One breath, one step at a time.

📌 What’s the ONE thing that instantly boosts your confidence on days you doubt yourself?

P.S : Guess where I was for this photoshoot?

Some rooms don’t need an audience to hold power. 

Last night reminded me of that.

A private women’s dinner in London.
Champagne on arrival.
A quiet room. Beautiful energy.

Ten minutes in, I’m invited to a black-tie party and a private lunch.
Twenty minutes later, someone asks if I know anyone selling a hotel in the South of France… 

Around the table:

- A founder raising for the first time after nine years
- My first ever coach, ex-banker teaching women how to grow generational wealth.
- A lawyer turned governance expert

Women raising capital.
Women diversifying empires.
Women advising on governance, wealth…
Women who don’t need to post a single thing online to be influential.

And it hit me:

These women aren’t “visible” online.
They’re powerful offline.

We spoke about portfolio strategy, angel rounds, legacy planning, how you can open a pension for a child with £250/month (news to me).

No noise.
No performance.
No “look how successful I am.”

Just power. Quiet power. 
The kind that doesn’t need an audience.

A few women asked for my business card.
I didn’t have one.

I had… LinkedIn.

And guess what?

Most of them don’t post on LinkedIn.
They operate in private circles.
Closed-door networks...

the opposite of the nouveau-riche “look at my life” energy online.

It made me realise something:

The conversations I love - wealth, identity, legacy, investing, feminine leadership - they happen off-feed.

In rooms where deals start with trust, not visibility.

There’s a bigger conversation unfolding for women in business.

If you want to be part of it, join my newsletter to join my next private event, where these rooms begin.

CEO | Brand Strategist | Strategic Advisor | Speaker

pov: you’re raising your prices…

but your identity is still charging last year’s rates.

That’s the real pattern no one talks about.

You raise your rates…
but then you justify every line.
You overdeliver to “make it worth it.”
You discount even when no one asked.

This isn’t a pricing problem.
It’s a worthiness leak.

Money responds to frequency.
Clients respond to certainty.

When your identity expands,
your numbers rise without negotiation.

Raise your rates after you raise your frequency.

Then let your brand, your voice, your presence….

match the leader. you’re becoming.

Alignment first → Pricing second → Power always.

The shortcut to being the one people remember

(they log off their phone and just want to work with you)

Doing something most people look at and say:

“I could never do that. That’s crazy.”

That’s when they feel it.
That’s when they remember you.
That’s when the DMs start flooding in.

Bravery demands respect.
Not because it’s loud.
But because it’s rare.

We say we want growth.
We say we want visibility.
We say we want wealth and wildly successful.

But what does that actually require?

→ Being part of the 1%.
→ Daring to be seen.
→ Daring to lead.

To march to the beat of your own drum.
To move differently than the crowd.
To make people feel what they couldn’t name.

And when you do that…
You activate something special
they didn’t know they had in them.

The fire it takes to go there?
People will feel it.
Even if they don’t understand it.

That’s why it’s a shortcut.

Because if you let it lead?

You wouldn’t need someone’s else script to speak.

P.S. If this stirred something uncomfortable in you, good. That’s the part of you that’s ready to lead. 🔥😎

Most people think you need a massive audience to get noticed.

(You don’t )

Someone could open a brand-new account today, post with precision, and reach millions faster than ever before.

I’ve seen it happen.

No connections.
No lucky break.
No farming pods.

Just one unfair advantage:

They understood attention.

→ Strong hooks
→ High retention
→ Relentless consistency

That’s the game now.

Not who you know.
What you create.

I built my audience the same way.

No inherited network.
No overnight virality.
Just repetition, refinement, 
and showing up when it felt quiet.

Here’s the part most people forget:

The algorithm doesn’t care about your title.
It doesn’t care about your past.
It only cares about one thing:

Does your content make people stop?

So if you’re waiting to be “big enough” to start posting:

Stop waiting.
Start now.
Write today.
Publish messy.
Refine in public.

Small audiences still have big impact.

P.S: Tag your favourite small creator below 👇🏻 
They are my fav to support 🫶

If there’s one thing i’ve learned after mentoring hundreds of leaders, it’s this:

most people don’t fail because they’re not capable.
they fail because they keep dimming the very power that would set them free.

the worst part?
they know it.
they feel it.
and they still hide.

the leaders you admire aren’t necessarily more gifted, more qualified, or more “ready.”
they’re simply done negotiating with their fear.

they chose visibility over perfection.
alignment over approval.
energy over excuses.

they looked at someone shining online and thought:

“why not me?”
and actually meant it.

meanwhile, someone with half your experience and a fraction of your brilliance is out there, getting the clients, the opportunities, the spotlight…

you keep telling yourself you’re “not ready for.”

harsh? yes.
but it’s energetically accurate.

so if you’ve been sitting on your story, your genius, your voice…
if you’ve been waiting for the perfect plan, the perfect brand, the perfect moment?

STOP.

own the power you keep pretending you don’t have.
show up with the energy of someone who knows they’re meant to be seen.

because if your vision chose you,
why wouldn’t you choose it back?
 
P.S: In Paris with Joei Chan.✨, celebrating our next milestone with tea and olives.

Your strongest moments aren’t the ones you post.

They’re the ones no one ever sees.

Behind the scenes, I’m not always loud.
Some days I don’t feel profound.
Or poetic. Or powerful.

But I’m still becoming. Still breathing.
Still showing up in the spaces that don’t ask for proof.

Like last night’s event,
the one I built in only 10 days,
when old me would have spent 12 weeks.

I trusted myself.
I didn’t film much.
I trusted the moment.
I trusted the photographer.

And while I haven’t talked about it here yet,
the real magic of it lives off-camera anyway.

(stories on Instagram if you want a glimpse)

This is where a brand is really built:

in the in-between.
In the quiet courage.
In the work no one claps for.

The transformation happens long before the post does.

P.S: Thank you so much London GreenCity for having me. Pics (and story ) incoming soon.

Before you outsource your content: integrate your story.

AI can replicate your tone.
It can learn your syntax, pacing, language.
But it cannot channel your becoming.

Don’t delegate your voice
until you’ve embodied it.

Every word you post 
is an extension of your nervous system.
Calibrate there first.

Then let the tools
amplify the truth
you already hold.

If this landed, don’t scroll.

Repost it for the people who still think AI is the only voice.

P.S: Post fully written with AI. But real pic 🫶

Some people think: “If I just knew the exact step-by-step, I’d be successful.”

But that’s not true.

Even if I handed you the exact playbook,
by step three, you’d do it slightly differently.

And without feedback?

You wouldn’t even realize where you went  wrong.

That’s why success isn’t about information.
It’s about correction.

Try. Get feedback. Adjust. Repeat.

Most people get stuck because they skip the feedback loop.

Progress accelerates when someone sharpens the way you move.

P.S. The fastest way to grow is letting someone mirror what you can’t see yourself.

📌 What’s the most absurd LinkedIn advice you’ve ever received?

➜ I’m Géraldine Spurway, Global Brand Strategist & Performance Coach.

➜ To strengthen your visibility and accelerate your growth, DM me.

Kim Kardashian’s new show got a ZERO rating.
(Yes, zero. Let that sink in.)

She’s still one of the biggest stars in the world.

Still woke up rich, famous, and unbothered.

Visibility dips. Algorithms wobble.

So chill.
You’re going to be fine.
Even if only a few people like you.🫶

“I’m doing all the things, and it’s not working.”

(p.s: I build brands by day AND run wellness events by passion.)

I hear this all the time:

→ I’m posting consistently.
→ I’m having the conversations.
→ I’m showing up every day. 

And still… nothing.

That’s when you learn the hard truth:

Doing the thing isn’t enough. 
You have to do it at a level of excellence.

And that’s where most people get stuck.

You think you’re “doing everything right.” 

But are you?

In some industries, second place gets nothing.

→ The difference between Olympic bronze and fourth place? A fraction of a second.

→ The difference between going viral and crickets? A sharper hook.

→ The difference between a full client roster and struggling? The right offer.

You don’t need a complete overhaul.
You just need to be a little bit better.

And that’s where the magic happens.

p.s.s: like, save and comment if you enjoyed this post. We, small business, need you.

Save this like your LinkedIn fame depends on it (because it does).

If your reach dropped, this might sting a little.

It’s not shadow banning.
It’s not just the algorithm.
It’s not just LinkedIn “changing the rules.”

💡 It’s your audience evolving faster than your content.

Let’s say the quiet part out loud:

Educational content is exhausted.
Not because it’s bad.
But because it all sounds the same.

People don’t want more tips.

They want truth.
They want context.
They want real stories from real humans.

Blaming the algorithm won’t save you. Adapting will. You either keep up or fade away. 

Here’s your million-dollar question: 👇🏻

Do you actually know what makes you unforgettable?

– Your unreal story
– Your unfair advantage
– Your unique magnetism
– The thing people remember after scrolling away

🥐 For me?

It’s the obsession with wellbeing, the art of storytelling, and yes…..an unreasonable love for croissants.

Not because it’s cute.
But because it’s me.

Now your turn 👇🏻

What’s the one thing people would remember you for if your content disappeared tomorrow?

Drop it in the comments.
Let’s make personal brands human again.✌🏻

P.S. I’m in it too…mid brain evolution, mid brand reinvention.

hear me out 🍵 

most people think they're not morning people.

they're just not sypporting their cortisol rhythm, circadian rhythm, and dopamine cycle.

these 11 tiny habits are based on actual
neuroscience and physiology:

1. 5-4-3-2-1: get up before your brain argue
2. Affirmations > scrolling: set the tone
3. Make your bed: close the night, open the day
4. High five the mirror: sounds silly, works
5. Water + minerals: hydration first, always 
6. Sunlight in 30 mins: cortisol reset, mood boost
7. Box breathing: 4-4-4-4, calm + sharp
8. Ice roll: puffiness gone, mind on
9. Protein breakfast: energy > empty carbs
10. Matcha / coffee: steady energy, calm focus
11. Move ( or dance ) for 5 mins: momentum over motivation

hope they help 🤞🏻
