On our honeymoon.

Today’s newsletter is a little bit different.

I’m currently on my honeymoon in Japan (a place I’ve dreamed of going since my first flight at the age of 16).

I’ve completely shut off all work to focus on the beauty around me and this life that Dan and I are building together.

I *could* have scheduled a super intense, BAU newsletter and all LinkedIn posts to make it appear like I'm still on......but we live in a world that constantly feels on.

With plenty of tools to believe someone is available 24/7.

And yes, this is technically a prescheduled newsletter :)

But I wanted to use today’s email to remind you it’s ok to shut off and not feel like you have to posture ambition to others.

Because ambition isn’t one-dimensional.

As much as I want success in my career…..

I also want success in my marriage.

So I’m out of the office pouring into my relationship.

I’m out of the office eating my weight in (pregnancy approved) sushi and walking more steps than my oura ring (and growing belly) will allow.

And I’m pausing everything else.

Because it will all be there when I get back.

Intentional imbalance in the micro leads to balance in the macro.

Lots of love,
Amanda

Thank you for reading!

I appreciate you so so much!
