Hi Reader Life can be overwhelming some days, am I right? The overwhelm is still something I’m working through - although I think I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I talk about the overwhelm and how I’m learning to manage it in this video. Although I’m talking from the perspective as a mom, I think this discussion can really apply to anyone with a lot on their plate! I’ve also recently started reading "Future Boards" by Sarah Centrella and I’m really loving it! Because my schedule is quite full, I have to move through the book very slowly (there's several writing assignment in it) But honestly - a lot of improvement in our lives comes in very small steps. This is something that I need to constantly remind myself of, as I love to see BIG progress. But realistically, it’s the consistent showing up for ourselves on a regular basis - even if that’s just a 10 minute daily workout, 5 minutes of meditation or a daily commitment to eating a nutrient-dense diet. But definitely check out "Future Boards" if you’re looking to clarify your vision for 2026. Yes, I know we’re already at the end of March but January doesn’t have to be the only month that you visualize and plan your big dreams! Another thing that I just have to share, that I think is kind of awesome, is a YouTube channel that was recommended to me by another flight attendant recently. It’s called "The Snoozetarian" and it’s really quite brilliant. If you’re a history buff like me and sometimes have trouble sleeping, you will absolutely love this! I’ve been listening to this fascinating and yet oddly calming lecture about life in the Gilded Age and I haven’t managed to make it all the way through because I’ve been falling asleep so fast! Another quick share is this amazing crispy quinoa salad with tahini dressing that I made this week. I made it as a way to reuse some leftover chicken and it came out incredible! This recipe is from the incredible creator, Sivan’s Kitchen. And if you’ve also been struggling with a bit of overwhelm lately, I’d love to hear from you! I think a lot of of us are feeling this these days and we can really lift each other up with honest discussion. Wishing you a beautiful Sunday! 🌸 Amalia

Hi Reader, Yesterday I was flying a trip with Will, a coworker that I went to flight attendant training with 11 years ago. We were reminiscing about classmates and I mentioned our mutual friend Rolo. Will smiled and said, “Rolo really is the most interesting man in the world. “ And I knew exactly what he meant by that. "The Most Interesting Man in the World", probably the funniest ad campaign ever! For context, Rolo is in his 60s, but he has more energy in enthusiasm than many 20 year-olds...
Hi Reader, Many years ago I took a psychology class and they taught us a concept for dealing with stress known as “5 minute vacation”. The concept is that whenever you're overwhelmed with stress, just taking 5 minutes to rest and imagine yourself on a lovely vacation can dramatically lower your stress levels. I'm currently recovering from the worst asthma exacerbation I've had in over 3 years. Ironically, this has forced me to rest. I'm honestly not very good at resting. I like to be busy and...
