Such an INCREDIBLE day yesterday supporting my mom launch her memoir at … we visited and saw so many friendly faces:
✨ .spencer ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ (sorry if I forgot anyone!!)

⚡️⚡️⚡️

Loved spending the day with my sisters and celebrating the life of my incredible mama, Joan Lunden ❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

But her memoir, Joan: Life beyond The Script anywhere books are sold! 📚❤️⚡️

How are you at making quick decisions?

02/25/2026

I’m a big believer in celebrating my friends — especially the ones who are absolutely AMAZING 🧡

Five years ago, one of my besties launched her book, Your Fully Charged Life ⚡️⚡️⚡️… so today, I wanted to celebrate her, and this incredible milestone! 🥳🍾

It’s also ironic that my own book’s manuscript is literally due to my publisher… TOMORROW 😳

…because I remember thinking, as Meaghan’s book was launching, “could I ever do this??? I want to be an author, but… like, is it REALLY possible for me?”

We all have these types of conversations in our 🧠… comparing our insides to other’s outsides.

I coach on this all the time in Brand Ninja…
😬 Imposter syndrome
🙈 Self-confidence
…and the magical effect of surrounding yourself with high-vibing humans. 📿❤️

I have a lot of clients who share with me, candidly, that they suffer from jealousy when they see their friends succeed. Sometimes, in order to “protect themselves” they’d even mute 🙊 that person’s posts from crossing their feed.

Here’s what I’d do instead:

✨ Lean IN!!! Jump on the beam with them.🌈 🌪️⚡️Let yourself get swept up in their positive energy.
Support them. 🤝 Celebrate them. 🍾 And most importantly — get curious. 🧐 Ask how they did it.

Because… 👑 Real queens fix each other’s crowns…

…and there’s NOTHING cooler than women who show up for other woman!! 👯‍♀️🪩

So… as I get ready to press SEND 👩‍💻 on the manuscript for my own book (📣 coming this November with !! 🤸🏻‍♀️), I know so much of my courage came from watching women like Meaghan lead the way.

So today’s reminder:
 High-frequency energy is contagious — stand closer to it!!! 🥰💡🔆🕯️⚡️⚡️⚡️

And if you want to feel a little more “fully charged” today… go grab Meaghan’s book, available everywhere books are sold!!! 😉

This is what being a working mom really looks like.

Yesterday was a snow day. ❄️ 🤧 Today Asher is home sick.
 I have an hour-long show on QVC in a little bit… more later this week… 😬
 …and ALL TWENTY SIX chapters of my book 📚 are due to my publisher on Thursday.

No pressure. 😅

Here’s the funny part about my job — I spend my days helping people navigate hard seasons.

🎤 I speak on stages about reinvention, resilience, and finding gratitude when life gets messy.

And right now? I’m living it in real time.

Still in pajamas. Typing with one hand. Switching between “author mode” and “mom mode” every five minutes.

But honestly… the book is going to be better because of this.

Because the most powerful lessons don’t come from perfection — they come from experience.

As thought leaders, creators, and humans… our opportunity is to make our mess our message.

To walk through the struggle. Find meaning inside it. And then share what we learned with others.

🤍 Today’s reminder: your real life isn’t a distraction from your purpose… it’s often the material for it.

We ❤️ a ❄️
What are y’all up to?
Any fun tips for staying sane?? 🤪🫠

We ❤️ Dragon Gym!!

Our experience with getting the boys into martial arts from beginning to end has been such a journey…

…from Asher discovering a curiosity through watching …

…to our days at the Exton, PA Dragon Gym location where both of my boys have learned lessons both on and off the mat. 🥷❤️⚡️

Any other martial arts mamas out there? 🙋‍♀️

Being a grown-up is hard…
But being a mom puts it all in perspective.☺️

On the days when the deadlines feel stifling…
The stress feels suffocating…
And reality feels big and scary…

…I have these two fine young gentleman.

These guys pull me back from “grown-up” and remind me to PLAY.

They rip me from my computer and sit me down in front of a board game.

They tell a funny joke (let’s be honest, it’s probably about farts 😅 ), and give me a good giggle.

We make popcorn 🍿 and pick a good movie and hunker down together.

Because this is what FAMILY is all about.

No matter what is going on in the world, I’m so grateful that the four of us can tuck into ourselves and really enjoy life, in its truest, most basic form.

(…Fart jokes)
😂

Seriously though… so often we only talk about the difficulties of , and I think we forgot to make mention of the coolest part: kids help you tap back into that part of you who WAS a kid.

Who just wants a hug and some time to chill. 🥹

I’m eternally grateful to these boys for being the two amazing humans they are… and for reminding me what life is all about.

… fart jokes.

💙😋

The past few days have been the kind dreams are made of… why? Because they were filled with ordinary moments made extraordinary, on purpose.💫

1️⃣ A multi-day besties play date between .being.aimee and me… which we let our kids attend too. 😉
2️⃣ A Valentine’s Day Family dinner dance with my love and our boys at our country club.
3️⃣ A Galentine’s Day hang with &
4️⃣ A practice at for both boys, building their strength, discipline & mental fortitude 🥷
5️⃣ A workout at .pilatesstudio with a lifelong bestie…
6️⃣ Followed by lattes with that same bestie at ☕️
7️⃣ An afternoon play date with where I bought enough sweets to send us into sugar spirals for days (worth it 🍪)
8️⃣ Evenings spent snuggling, and reading books like our favorite, “Just Keep Going” by

Why are these moments extraordinary? In their simplicity.

😎I used to think I had to be at the coolest party.
On the guest list.📋
🪩In the DJ booth.
Photographed with my name in 📰 print…

Otherwise, the the long weekend really even happen??

Turns out… the answer is YES. 😊

Life’s biggest gifts today are these simple, precious moments.

Best friends. 🤍 Moments spent brainstorming business ideas. 🤍 Helping each other solve problems. 🤍 Or just sharing a laugh.

A long weekend like the one I just had is the kind I could have only dreamed of when I was younger… back when life was glitz & glam… but lived without depth.

I’ll take today’s version any day of the week.

Feeling blissfully blessed and grateful today.
🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️

EPIC evening last night seeing in !! ❤️🔪🎙️ Loved making the drive from PA with my girl and meeting up with my mom and sisters .

Delicious dinner at (where we got to see mama Joanie’s caricature on the wall!) then made our way over in -6 degrees 🥶 to the Ambassador Theater for the show.

I had no idea what to expect… I love Whitney on and but admittedly I wasn’t sure how she’d be on Broadway in a singing role…

She honestly SLAYYYED and the whole audience was collectively so proud of her!! (yes, I’m aware that the parasocial relationship is strong! 🤣)

If you get a chance to see her Broadway run, DO IT!! 🎩❤️

Grateful to have been named on of the “Top 10 Speakers to Watch in 2026” by MSN. 🎤

It’s truly such an honor…

📣 Shout out to my hubby for his unwavering support and to my manager, Stevie Johns | for supporting my journey onto even bigger stages. 👋🏼🥰

✨✨✨

🗑️ Make your mess your message.
Turn your pain into purpose. 🔥
🙂 Everything happens for a reason.

These are my tenets of Gratitudeology.

I truly believe that those who have been to the darkest depths see that light that much brighter. 🕯️

So… if you’re going through a time time right now, just know: I promise this pain is showing up for reason.

Keep going.
Look for the lesson.
Figure out your “why.”

And if no one’s told you yet today:
You’re doing a great job. 🥹
