The Art of Not Settling

Most people settle.

They settle in jobs that drain them.
They settle in relationships that don’t truly see them.
They settle for a life that looks good on paper—but feels like a slow soul leak.

Like ordering the same boring salad every day when your soul wants tacos.

Why?

Because settling is familiar.
Because no one ever showed them there was something else on the menu.
Because staying safe feels easier than choosing truth.

But what if you decided to stop?

What if this June, you stopped abandoning yourself in subtle, invisible ways—the way you downplay your desires in a meeting, silence your needs in a relationship, tolerate the misalignment in your calendar, or brush off the nudge in your gut?

What if you chose to tell the truth?
First to yourself.
Then, to the world.

It doesn’t have to be a dramatic reinvention. Sometimes speaking your truth starts with something simple, like:

It starts in the tiny micro-moments.
But those moments? They add up.
And one day you wake up and wonder: Whose life is this anyway?

Think of this as a little truth tune-up—for more ease, alignment, and aliveness.

Back in 2020, I said yes to a program called Meet Yourself in Truth with Janne Robinson. It cracked me open—and walked me home.

That space helped me remember who I am beneath the performance, the pleasing, and the pressure. It gave me tools to come back to myself again and again.

This year, I’m not just joining—I’m teaching inside it.

And I want to invite you in.

Janne is offering a FREE 10-day live experience starting June 2nd called Meet Yourself in Truth. It’s a raw, beautiful, no-bullshit container to help you:

• Identify the beliefs holding you back

• Break the cycle of self-abandonment

• Reclaim the truth of who you are

She’s filming it live and inviting real humans to go deep with her—and yes, I’ll be there.

Today (June 1) is the last day to sign up.
If you’re feeling the pull—apply here to join us.

This might just be the exact medicine your soul’s been asking for.
We start tomorrow.

A simple prompt for June:

Welcome, June.

What do you want more of?
What do you want less of?
What truth are you ready to honor?

Notice what you notice.
Then shift accordingly.
