not not (newsletter)

Hi First name / friend_
 
So, funny thing happened last week… I put out the whole newsletter, hyping up the podcast, and then totally forgot to link the episode. 😑 Classic, right? 
 
But here’s the twist: mistakes are the price of entry. If you’re not screwing up, you’re playing too safe. The fumbles are what teach you the most, and honestly, they're part of the fun.
 
So here’s my take: perfection is unproductive. Mess up. Learn. Keep going. 
 
Episode 1 Link: Finally, here’s the podcast you were promised!
 
The Real Lesson: Mistakes Aren’t Just Okay—They’re Required
You can’t dodge mistakes, so stop trying. Let them in, learn from them, and realize they’re helping you level up.
 

🔥Coming Soon: Next week, I'll share the Values Exercise to help you define your core values, and trust me, it’ll change the game.
 
Mistakes? Bring 'em on. We’re just getting started. 🎤💥

WHAT’S IN FOCUS
A WIN IS A WIN.
“Honestly, I had typed out a whole caption about how I'm disappointed with myself etc., but I’ve been sitting here playing with my daughter and I realized that I couldn't be more proud of myself. I gave birth to such an amazing human and I played the US Open? A win is a win. Sure, it didn't work out this time, but I have faith it will eventually. Thank you NY, see you next time.” 
— Naomi Osaka
Famed tennis player, fellow half-Asian honey, mother, fashion icon, and mental health advocate, Naomi Osaka, famously took a break from her professional career on tour to prioritize her mental health. This past weekend, she lost in the early rounds of the US Open, a tournament she has won.
Peep the caption and understand how HER definition of the VALUE of winning is what determines the reality of her happiness— then tell me how defining your values will not be the difference between living your dream or not – I’ll wait.
