Hellooooo, you precious pearl,
Are your problems actually big… or is your life just too small right now?
When one area of your life becomes everything — your job, your relationship, your role as a parent, your fitness journey — even a small disruption can feel devastating.
If all you do is work, then work problems won’t just feel stressful… they’ll feel personal. Existential. Heavy. This is why your problems feel bigger than they are.
In the video, I talk about what it means to right-size your problem.
Because often, the issue isn’t that the problem is enormous. It’s that your identity, energy, and attention are over-concentrated in one place.
When you don’t have enough YOU in your life — creativity, connection, play, rest, purpose — there’s nowhere for stress to go. It fills the whole container.
This isn’t about minimizing your pain. It’s about expanding your life.
You don’t need smaller problems.
You need a bigger life. You need more of YOU in it.
If this resonated, share it with someone who might need perspective — and let me know by replying to this e-mail:
Where might your life need to expand?
Shuck with love,
Jessica
