Go Long

04/05/2026

Strategize Sundays is always a thing for us. This Sunday, Jill is focused on strategizing life as a person with aging parents. This isn't something we focus on as a weekly task but it's sort of all over the place, everyday, up in the air, out in front, however it fits into the calendar.

She wrote this piece a few years ago, but it still holds true and each year the moments to treasure become a little more clear, and the worries become a little more heightened. We know we're not alone on this one.

So as you strategize for your upcoming week, month, year, trip, holiday, or any kind of plan, we hope this is useful. More to come on this topic.

Your kid worked hard. Got the grades. Maybe even landed an internship. And now they’re applying to jobs every day - and hearing nothing back. No rejection. No feedback. Just silence.

Ariana Carps of Rear Ends on the white jeans you're afraid to wear and why she's not letting you off the hook

This is the season when a lot of us are on the go. Whether for a spring conference for your job or your kids’ spring break, getting off your routine doesn’t have to derail your plans for your health.

This client is focused on how to stay on track for her own goals, and I’m happy to be able to coach her by text and support her along the way. Sometimes we just need someone else to come up with the ideas.

There’s a time to be serious and a time to be foolish. And sometimes, all you can do is look forward to and get to the next step. Today, April Fools Day, doesn’t have to be about planning the greatest prank. Sometimes you just need to find the laughter, the fun, and whatever will keep you propelling forward.

As luck would have it.. did you know this week has been National Cleaning Week? It's not too late to get into your closet or those cabinets in your bathroom or your kitchen pantry and start dumping.

I got a taste of reality when my friend, Ariana Carps, told me to dump the six-year-old white jeans I never wore because now they have a huge rip in them and that, apparently, is passé.

So start cleaning, people. You've got all weekend to be a part of this annual celebration. Don't be afraid to purge. You'll feel so much better when you get rid of the crap you haven't worn and, frankly, forgot you own. That's my hot tip for the weekend!

We had fun with our poll over the weekend on if Jill should or should not buy white jeans this year. In case you missed it, she was overwhelmingly told to go for it.

Her conversation with Ariana Carps might be about more than just white jeans or wardrobe though.

It's about confidence. About feeling good in your own skin. About not following a trend just because everyone else is doing it. About figuring out who you are and what makes you feeling good about yourself as yo uwalk through this thing called life.

Before your Monday gets crazy, stop. Change the story. Change your mindset. Find something to make you smile, to make you laugh.

Mondays get a bad rap but really, they are always the beginning of something new and a great opportunity to start toward your goals again. Don’t dwell in a “case of the Mondays” kind of feeling. Get going forward - because we know we can’t go back.

Have a great week, everyone! Go the distance, go long.

It’s Strategize Sunday. But also - it’s the last weekend day before baseball season officially starts. Let’s get ready for this week so we can be productive and start watching our favorite teams(and likely yelling at the tv) this Thursday. ⚾️

You may not even be aware of what's holding you back, what's stopping you from living your best life, but you know SOMETHING is.

When I work with clients we get to the bottom of those roadblocks and I help them see the bigger picture, and truly focus on what matters. Maura, one of my clients, shares how we accomplished this together.

Listen in and if this kind of coaching seems like it might be just what you need, reach out. Let's talk about it.

I hear you. It’s St. Patrick’s Day. So drink a green beer and celebrate with friends.

But Jill cautions us not to get too hung up on the whole “luck” thing. What if you decide today that putting yourself in a position to get what you want is smarter than counting on luck.

You want to play the lottery? Go ahead. Buy a ticket. But don’t put so much weight into it that you may actually change your life with it. Same for everything else. Don’t wait and hope. Plan and strategize. Visualize yourself reaching your goal.

That’s our message today. 🍀

Something to consider as you get ready for another jam-packed week. You can't keep going full-steam ahead and expect great results all the time. No one can. Figure out some time this week to slow down and allow yourself to process. And if you don't have a true break plan sometime over the next few months, schedule one. You'll be more productive because of it.

Protect your heart. Protect your soul. Know yourself.

This is just one topic I covered when Sonni Abbata joined me on Going the Distance. Find us today wherever you like to get your podcasts. It's an oldie but a goodie - and such an important topic!
