The Filter of Your Own Emotional State Dearest Reader, Last night, my four year old nephew said "You're not listening!" with so much frustration and defeat in his voice that his eyes welled with tears. A long conversation later, we discovered that what he meant was "I don't feel heard." I was listening. He was being heard. But that wasn't relevant. What mattered was that he didn't FEEL heard and understood, so nothing I did or said would have mattered. He, like each of us, experienced the...

The world moves fast. Work moves faster.But the people around you are...

It's All a Choice Hi Reader, Feeling disempowered? Choose to focus on what is within your control. Feeling scared? Choose courage and do the thing anyway. If you don't like a result in your life, choose to take action. If you don't like how you are showing up, choose to show up differently. Right now. No need to wait. You don't need permission. Just choose again. Then, keep choosing. Because you deserve the exceptional life you dream of, and choosing is how you get it. Keep growing,Jamie 🪴💚...

Your Life is Created One Tiny Action at a Time It's summer, Reader. Maybe you're locked in on your goals, or maybe you're carving out every spare moment to soak up the sunshine and tend to the baby blossoms in your garden. Either way, you don't need to be doing it all anyway. But you do need to be doing the RIGHT things. Even if (especially if) it's only one tiny right action each day. The most effective way to free up time in your calendar is (drum roll please)... 💎 CLARITY 💎 Yep. No fancy...

You become the average of your five closest friends Hi Reader, You didn't end up in this community because you dig mediocrity. So, let's discuss a hard truth about growth—you will outgrow some people and some relationships. It is common to realize when you're ready for a new workout routine, a promotion, or therapist. But friends? Family? Professional network? It can be sad to consider that some of these relationships need to evolve as we grow at our own unique pace. Here's the bottom line:...

A Clarity Shift that Changes Everything Reader, You’ve heard it: “You won’t catch me running unless it’s from a bear.”Cute. But not true. Most people are running. Not from bears—From judgment.From burnout.From bad bosses, debt, rejection, a body they’ve been taught to hate. It’s human. It’s survival.But it’s not a growth strategy. Running from what you don’t want burns energy.Running toward what you do want builds momentum. Here’s the science:🧠 Your brain is 9x more likely to create what you...

It is never black & white Reader, I just wrapped a wildly empowering conversation with a client. But it didn't start out empowering. It started out heavy, dreading, and dripping with that it-is-what-it-is-and-I-just-need-to-get-this-over-with energy. We've all been there. I asked him to lay out the options in this tough situation. He described Option A and Option B, each with more cons than pros. Silence. Me: "And?" Him: "And, I need to decide. It's killing me." Me: "Right. So let's explore...

Be a Creator, Not Just a Consumer Reader, Can you believe the average American adult is expected to spend nearly 8 HOURS consuming media EVERY DAY in 2025?! That includes 4+ hours of video content. 🤯 Whoa. We live in a hyper connected world and there are more things than ever to inform, entertain, and distract you from life. In moderation, many sources of media can improve the quality of your life. But given the excess of options (and the brilliance of the psychological engineers who...

Spring has sprung, Reader! Quarter 2 is upon us and, if we follow nature's lead, it's time to emerge and expand in new ways. As we delight in spring creation at Grow Nau, we're focusing on our state of being. Be --> Do --> Have 🪄📈 Traditional business teaching says to focus on the doing first, in order to have what you want, and then you can become who you want to be. 😒 But ancient wisdom and modern quantum sciences tell a different story. No matter what we do, or how much we do, we will...
