We're officially halfway through the year, which means it's time to pull those goals back out and ask ourselves a very important question:

How's that going?

In this episode, I'm sharing a mid-year life update, reviewing my 2026 goals, talking about what's working, what's not, and what I want to focus on for the second half of the year.

I'm also wrapping up June's habit challenge: waking up at 5AM every day.

Did it magically transform my life? Kinda.

Did it significantly reduce my anxiety, help me feel more grounded, improve my productivity, and strengthen my trust in myself? Absolutely.

I'm sharing the biggest lessons I learned from a month of early mornings, why I plan to keep doing it, and the six things that made it possible for me to go from hittting snooze every 9 minutes for a full hour, to leaping out of bed at the first ring of the alarm.

We also talk about:

• Why keeping promises to yourself matters more than almost anything else
• The surprising connection between consistency and self-confidence
• Managing ADHD during one of the busiest months of my year
• Why accountability can make or break a new habit
• My obsession with goal reviews and planning for the future
• Why my next big challenge is learning how to ask for help in my business
• My new habit challenge for July: a daily morning walk

If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, behind on your goals, or like you need a reset, this episode is your reminder that you do not have to wait until January to start again.

Let's figure it out together.

Day 10 of testing if waking up at 5AM will change my life.

We're officially in double digits, babies.

Ten days into my 5AM challenge, I'm learning something surprising: waking up early isn't actually the hardest part. Going to bed on time so I don't dread it is.

In this Day 10 check-in, I'm sharing the reality behind building new habits, especially with ADHD. The excitement of starting something new is beginning to wear off, the novelty is slightly fading, and I'm entering the phase where consistency matters more than motivation.

I talk about:
• The struggle of creating healthy nighttime habits when the kids are at their dad's (where my single moms at?)
• How doom scrolling, late-night TV, and "just one more thing" can sabotage even the best morning routine
• The evening routine I'm experimenting with to support better sleep and more consistent mornings
• Why habit building often requires replacing old behaviors, not just eliminating them
• The role community and accountability play in personal growth and self-improvement

If you're trying to wake up earlier, build better habits, improve your productivity, or simply become more consistent with the promises you make to yourself, this episode is a reminder that progress isn't about perfection. It's about showing up, even when the excitement fades.

And to everyone who's been sending me 5AM texts, DMs, and messages - you might be the reason this challenge is still going strong 💕

Because becoming the person you want to be doesn't happen overnight - but it might happen one small habit at a time... and we're about to find out.

Four days into my 5AM wake-up challenge, and I'm already noticing some surprising changes.

In this episode of Mostly All Figured Out, I'm sharing the real-life experience of waking up at 5AM as a single mom, business owner, and person with ADHD. No miracle morning claims. No "I've completely transformed my life in a week" nonsense. Just an honest look at what's working, what's hard, and why keeping promises to yourself might be more powerful than any productivity hack.

We talk about:
• My day-by-day 5AM wake-up ratings
• Why charging my phone across the room is a game-changer
• The unexpected connection between self-trust and productivity
• Lessons from Atomic Habits by James Clear, truly one of the best books I've ever read
• How identity shapes our habits and behaviors
• Why small actions can create massive change over time
• Balancing personal goals, motherhood, business ownership, and a social life

If you've ever struggled to stick with a new habit, hit snooze one too many times, or wondered whether changing your routine could help you become the person you want to be, this episode is for you.

Follow along as I spend the next month testing whether waking up at 5AM actually leads to better focus, more consistency, business growth, and a life that feels more aligned with my goals.

Because maybe the secret isn't waking up at 5AM. Maybe it's becoming someone who keeps promises to herself ✨
