😥 Well... This Wasn’t the Plan.

Hey FWI fam,

The past few days have been really rough. My Facebook account got hacked Saturday morning, my debit card got hit (hard), and instead of building momentum, I spent the weekend fighting battles I never asked for.

And it wasn’t just my personal Facebook. I manage multiple business accounts through that login. So the impact wasn’t just frustrating… it was layered, complicated, and honestly, humiliating and overwhelming.

I’m still trying to piece it all back together.

A bunch of you reached out letting me know what was being sent from “me,” checking in, offering support. Thank you.

Here’s what I’m reminded of…
We’re all going to face setbacks. In life. In business. In the middle of chasing something that matters.
But the worst thing we can do is try to navigate it alone.

We need people who steady us.
Speak truth.
Remind us who we are and why we started.

I had a moment today where I thought,
“Maybe I should just hang it up and apply at Home Depot.”
(while I have zero home repair skills, I look decent in orange)

It’s Monday night. I’d rather be watching football or cooking something fun.
Instead, I’m on the couch, laptop open, salvaging the week one hour at a time.

But deep down, I know this:
I’m called to build. To create. To keep going. Even when it’s messy, inconvenient, or exhausting.

So I’m here. Still standing. Still in it.

If you're in your own storm, keep going.
Reach out.
Don’t do it alone.

We’re in this together. And for that, I’m incredibly grateful.

I love you all. 🩵
