Post card from Italy ❤️ Fun fact about @ArthurMacwaters and me: we’ve spent more of our relationship apart than together. We did long distance while dating, and somehow even found ourselves doing versions of it in marriage. A few things we’ve learned along the way: - Your marriage will go in the direction you both choose. - Invest in each other’s growth. - Don’t let your spouse shrink in a hard season. Remind them who they are and what they’re capable of. - Surround yourself with healthy couples. Have mentors. - Pray together. Every day. - Talk about the hard things before resentment gets a chance to grow. - Stay curious about each other. Never stop learning the person you married. - Give more than you take. Not for what comes back, but because generosity has a way of producing fruit. Grateful for 4 years going on forever

I’m convinced that if you want to pursue your dream, you have to want it badly enough to: >fall on your face
>ask for the opportunity before you feel ready
>hear “no” without taking it personally
>take direct feedback without getting defensive
>change your approach without changing your conviction
>keep knocking long after most people would have stopped

adulthood is realizing having nothing planned is actually a really good plan
the founder skill nobody talks about enough is remaining persuasive while actively figuring it out
Happy Saturday! @ArthurMacwaters shirt of the week 🤌🏼
My husband does this thing - buys a new shirt - wears this shirt exclusively for 4-5 weeks - I tell him to stop wearing the same shirt so many times each week - he gets a new shirt - repeat he will literally try to wear a graphic tee to a nice restaurant make it make sense

founders will spend months trying to hire someone so they can stop doing a job, then struggle to let that person do the job

Every time you betray your values to fit in, you program yourself to believe that belonging matters more than integrity. Don’t compromise your integrity.
People will tolerate a pain they understand longer than they’ll risk a freedom they can’t predict
I love watching founders pivot the whole company without ever losing the belief that “we’re close”
