Valentine’s Day is cute.
But the real love language is reflection + alignment.

Before you run into the week on fumes, take 20 minutes to reset using SWOT, SOAR, and SMARTER goals.

This is how you lead your life on purpose - not just react to it.

If you want support creating aligned systems for your life, career, or leadership, my DMs are open.

Music really is a universal language.

I grew up in the Bronx, daughter of immigrant parents, raised on Spanglish, bodegas on every corner, and the rhythm of Spanish floating through the streets whether you understood every word or not. That sound was always home.

So watching the halftime show tonight with my girls, hearing an entire performance in Spanish on one of the biggest stages in the world, and seeing them dance like they fully understood every lyric… it meant something.

My oldest is learning Spanish in school.
I learned it in the streets of the South Bronx.
But the beat? The culture? The pride?
That part is understood without translation.

As a New Yorker, as a daughter of immigrants, and as someone who grew up surrounded by Puerto Rican culture and community, I was so proud watching Bad Bunny hold that stage. And even more proud watching my daughters enjoy it with the same joy I felt.

Because when the vibe is right and the music is good,
you don’t have to know every word to feel exactly what it means.

Accountability without grace is just criticism.
Grace without accountability is just avoidance.

Emotional intelligence teaches us how to hold both —
with clarity, regulation, and respect.

You can protect peace and keep standards.

We’re not “bad at people.”
We’re just out of practice.

Humanity is a skill.
And analog living helps us remember it.

I dropped my daughter off at a birthday party today — the kind with skating rinks, winter wonderlands, and parents who have access to real resources.

And I love this life for her.

Not because it’s flashy.
Not because it’s aspirational.
But because it’s protected.

She has friends with horses.
Friends who live in beautiful brownstones.
Friends whose parents can create ease and experience.

And that’s intentional.

My children aren’t my why.
They’re my who.

They’re who I do this for.
Who I pour into the overflow for.
Who gets to benefit from the long hours, early mornings, late nights, and the work of monetizing my gifts.

I don’t want her to “get it out the mud.”
I don’t want her to struggle for the sake of character.
I don’t even want her to get dirty by the mud.

I want abundance to feel normal.
Access to feel normal.
Having a mother with resources to feel normal.

This is the life I’m building — not just for them, but through alignment, intention, and ownership of my gifts.

And I love this for her.
For them.
For us.

When the world is heavy, regulation matters.

My Two Cents…
Advocacy Requires Regulation, Not Just Reaction

The murder of ICU nurse Alex Peretti is devastating.
It’s frightening.
It’s infuriating.
It’s disorienting.
And it should deeply disturb us.

There is nothing about this that needs to be softened or spiritualized.
This is a crisis.
And it is appropriate for fear, anger, grief, and uncertainty to surface.

Our nervous systems are activated — period.

And I want to be very clear:
This is not a “stay calm” message.
This is not a “be positive” message.
This is not a “bypass your feelings” message.

This is a be honest about your emotions message — and then be organized with them.

Because emotion is not the problem.
Unprocessed emotion without direction is.

Nursing is political.
Healthcare is political.
Nurses are the largest workforce in this country.
And while we all hold different personal politics, we share a professional reality:
Our safety, our labor, our lives, and our systems are shaped by policy.

Advocacy and activism will look different for everyone.
Not everyone will march.
Not everyone will protest.
Not everyone will organize publicly.
And that’s okay.

But whatever form of action you choose, it must come from a grounded place — not a dysregulated one.

Here’s the framework I believe in:

First: nervous system first aid.
Name what you feel.
Acknowledge the fear.
Honor the anger.
Recognize the overwhelm.
Regulation is not suppression — it’s awareness.

Then: organized action.
Advocacy. Policy engagement. Education. Community work. Coalition-building. Writing. Speaking. Supporting families. Supporting reform. Supporting change.

And when you come home from that work — you rest.

Because rest is not disengagement.
Rest is resistance.
Rest is refueling.
Rest is how you sustain the fight.

This will not be a one-day issue.
This will not be a one-week conversation.
And this will not be solved by outrage alone.

We cannot lose ourselves in the fight.
We cannot burn ourselves out in the name of justice.
And we cannot confuse emotional activation with strategic action.

Emotion is a compass.
But regulation is the GPS.

We honor Alex Peretti not only with grief —
but with organized, sustainable, grounded action that protects life, safety, and humanity in this profession.

That’s my two cents.

This week we lost a fellow nurse — a healer — in a way that shakes your nervous system to the core. 

Let’s be honest:
This kind of violence is scary, angry, disorienting. That’s human — and that’s okay.

But feeling the feels isn’t the end of the story.
Your emotions are information.
They tell you what’s happening inside so you can choose what to do outside.

Don’t bypass the fear.
Don’t shame what you feel.
But don’t let unprocessed emotion drive unregulated action.

Let your nervous system catch up
so that your advocacy is sustained, thoughtful, strategic, and grounded.

Whatever your form of engagement looks like — protest, writing, calling representatives, educating your community, giving to causes, supporting families affected — do it from a regulated base, not a dysregulated reaction.

And when you come home from it — rest.
Rest is resistance.
Rest is refueling.
Rest is what keeps you in the fight for the long haul.

This s**t is horrible.
But you don’t have to lose you in the process.
