💖 S.2 Ep.2 — Doom Scrolling, Progress & Permission Granted ✨

I’m sharing a late-night reflection on something we all struggle with—feeling behind while we’re actually making more progress than we realize.

I talk about the cycle of doom scrolling, comparison, and self-doubt… and how easy it is to overlook our own growth when we’re focused on what we haven’t done yet.

But tonight, I did something different.

I went back to my to-do list.

And I realized—I’ve done so much more than I gave myself credit for.

This episode is your reminder to pause, reflect, and celebrate yourself.

Because the truth is:
 You are further than you think.

💭 In this episode, I share:

•  Why doom scrolling often disguises itself as “inspiration” 
•  How easily we overlook our real progress 
•  The power of going back to your to-do list and celebrating what you’ve already done 
•  My behind-the-scenes updates in podcasting, decluttering, and energy readings 
•  The importance of giving yourself permission instead of waiting for it 
•  Embracing imperfection and letting things be “messy but real” 
•  What it means to step into your calling with energy readings and intuitive work 

🌿 Key reminders from this episode:

•  You are not behind—you are becoming 
•  Small steps count more than you think 
•  Rest is productive 
•  You don’t need external permission to begin 
•  Perfection is not required for impact

Hello. Welcome back to season two. Of Organized Chaos Permission. Granted, I am here in bed, about to go to sleep, and I had a bunch of thoughts, so I wrote them down and I wanted to share them with you. You, my friend, are further than you realize. Do you ever feel like some days you're really far behind, like you have made no progress at all? You look around and feel like all the people you follow are so much further along than you. So instead of making progress on your own goals, you end up doom scrolling on Instagram reels, Telling yourself you are gathering creative ideas. And in some cases that may be true, but deep down, you know, you are just putting your dreams off for one more day. I realized I did that today. I picked up my phone more than I wanted to. I doom scrolled more than I needed to. And did I get the creative ideas I intended to? Nope. I probably wasted more hours than I'd like to admit right now, but then I thought if I hadn't had that moment, I wouldn't be here sharing this podcast with you. Last week I made a to-do list, things I wanted to get done for my podcast, for social media and other things I wanted to figure out tonight. I put my phone down, got ready for bed, and now I'm sitting here with my journal. I pulled that list back out and as I'm glancing over it, I'm realizing I have actually crossed off a lot of things, even with all the doom scrolling I did today. I have accomplished so many things this past week that I had completely forgotten about. The truth is, if we don't take the time to go back and actually look at what we've done, we feel like we've accomplished nothing. But it is all those baby steps that add up until suddenly we're walking at a pace that feels natural and aligned. So I'm going to celebrate myself and I'm going to share it with you. Maybe this will inspire you to go back to your list and realize you are worthy to celebrate too. You have accomplished more than you think. This past week, I got clear on season two of my podcast. Title and cover art. Hello, organized chaos. Permission granted. At first it was going to be the permission slip, but then I realized we can fill out permission slips all day long. But at the end of the day, we are the ones who sign off. We are the ones who say permission. Granted, there is no external force giving it to us. We give it to ourselves over and over again. We are now the adults in the room. We give ourselves permission to do the things we have been holding ourselves back from, like creating this podcast, changing the name, updating the art. In my case this past week, I also got clear on how I am going to serve my clients through energy readings. I gave one last week for the first time in a very long time, and it went really well. Thank you, Jen, for being my Guinea pig, and I have another one scheduled for Wednesday. Shout out to Amanda. I'm so excited to serve you. If that's something you feel called to reach out to me, the first few sessions will be Donate Nation based. These are 20 minute one-on-one private Zoom sessions where I tap into your energy. I pull cards and I help you gain clarity. They are powerful, intentional, and honestly pure magic. If you are looking for clarity, alignment, and direction, this could be your next step. I have also attracted new clients to my decluttering services and showed up more online. I posted a few times about my business and I've been more visible. I linked up new payment cards across my apps, which might sound simple, but if you know me and passwords, you know that was a big deal. I also recorded a manifesting Monday episode about going home for spring break, the power of organizing and how deeply energetic that work is, and how much I truly love doing it. So go ahead and check out the previous episode, season two, episode one, and those are just the business things I haven't even mentioned everything we did as a family. We just finished spring break. We had three baseball games, practices, activities with the other kids, horse lessons, farm stuff, things around the house, date nights, snuggle time with the cats, there's always something going on. If it's not one thing, it's another. But I will say on Saturday, I stayed in bed all day and no, I was not sick. I just really enjoyed being in bed all day. It was relaxing, it was peaceful. It was exactly what I needed after a full week, and it was so nice not to have to go anywhere or do anything. So the point of this episode is this, give yourself permission to pause. Go back to your to-do list. Look at what you've actually done, cross it off, celebrate, because truly you've done so much in the last 24 hours alone, let alone the last week. You are amazing and you deserve more credit. Sometimes we think we need to do more, but what if we learn to be proud of what we've already done? Those small accomplishments add up. And what if we got energized by who we already are instead of comparing ourselves to people on social media who seem like they have it all together. so here is your permission. Stop the doom scrolling. Celebrate yourself this week, everything you've done, big and small. Permission to rest, permission to take a nap. Permission to go get that Starbucks drink or that ice cream you've been thinking about. Permission to start over, permission to create something new. Permission to call a friend. Whatever you feel like you need permission for, give it to yourself and go live your best life. From my heart to yours, permission granted. Love you. Catch you next time. And before I go, I don't know if you caught this, but. I didn't realize it until after I dropped the first episode of season two. I completely forgot to include my intro, my happy male spiel and my outro. And you know what? I gave myself permission not to go back and fix it, not to make it perfect. I let it be what it was. And I was okay with the imperfection in the past. That would've driven me crazy. I would have re-uploaded the perfect version, but not this time. This time I allowed it to be messy because honestly, no one probably even noticed it but me. So in this season, I'm giving myself permission to show up messy, be visible, and have fun, and I hope you join me along the way. Let's get out of our heads and into our hearts and live life out loud. And remember, if you want to book an energy reading with me, reach out and let's get you scheduled. Again, these are powerful one-on-one 20 minute zoom sessions where I tap into my intuition channel message and share what comes through for you. It's loving, supportive, and kind. And you walk away feeling clear, refreshed, and aligned. I'll catch you on the next episode and if this episode inspired you, please share it with a friend. Post it on your socials.

And one last thing about energy readings. This is how I experienced them moving forward. I woke up at 4:00 AM with this vision so clear in my mind and I wrote it down, and then my cat was purring so loudly, so I don't know if that was confirmation. They say that cats see into realms. When I'm giving a reading, I close my eyes and it's completely black space. Then it's like the sky opens up into a cloud, like a portal. From there, I start receiving images. Snapshots or videos, downloads meant just for you during your energy reading. I'll share those images and explain what I'm seeing in real time. The messages come through strong and intentionally. I'll interpret them and share what they mean from my perspective, but ultimately you get to decide how they resonate and what they mean for you. And then I was telling my daughter about this vision I had this morning when I was taking her to school. And then I realized, the best way I can describe it is like the scene in Stranger Things when 11 closes, her eyes and everything goes completely black and like a blank canvas, and then it slowly opens into a portal.. I honestly feel like energy readings are like opening up to another dimension, and that's exactly what I see and I hope that makes sense. All I know is that these messages are powerful, they're meaningful, and they're meant for people who are willing to receive them. And I feel like it's a deep calling on my heart to share with others. So if you've been feeling pulled, now is the time to book. These energy readings are currently donation based, but that won't last forever. Prices will be increasing soon. Sending you so much love. Talk to you next time. Bye.
