It’s Halftime, Baby
Join the Leap Year Activation today if you know the first half of the year was just the warm-up
It’s 8pm on a Monday. I just got off a 2-hour coaching call inside Wanderlust Wealth Academy and then went for a long walk with my dog, just to get the energy out of my body. I haven’t posted a single thing on social media today because it was one of those CEO days. Full. Nonstop.
And yet, here I am still completely LIT UP.
This is the kind of fire you can’t fake.
I was walking around my neighborhood just thinking… damn. This is the life I dreamed about when I was stuck in boring engineering meetings that could’ve been emails. When I was applying to jobs I didn’t even want, just to escape the one I had. When I was convincing myself I “should” just be grateful because I had a good salary and benefits. But I wasn’t happy. I was numb.
I started 2022 knowing in my bones that I needed to quit. I had one property at the time, and even though I technically could have left, I didn’t trust myself. So I didn’t. I spiraled instead. I applied to over 60 jobs, most of which I had no business applying to 😅. I think part of me knew I just wasn’t meant for the 9-5.
I didn’t want another job. I wanted a whole new life. I just didn’t know how to leap.
But life always meets you halfway. And for me, that moment came when I won tickets to a real estate investing conference. I didn’t know it at the time, but that weekend would change everything. It cracked something open. It reminded me of who TF I was. And what was possible. It reminded me I wasn’t crazy for wanting more.
Imagine if I had ignored that nudge. If I’d said, “Well, I guess it’s not for me.” Imagine if I stayed in that same loop, complaining, doubting, waiting. I wouldn’t be here. I wouldn’t have built the life I’m living now with freedom, creativity, and joy.
It’s June 30th, and we’re at the halfway point of the year now. Tomorrow is July 1st.
Halftime, Baby
And if the first six months felt like prep; if it felt like you were sharpening the axe, gathering information, trying to get your energy right… It’s not because you’re behind, it’s because you were getting ready. And now it’s time to move.
This second half is for execution. For action. For actually becoming the girl who gets to live the life she wrote about in her journal on January 1st. That dream you had? That vision? It’s not too late. It’s right on time. The only thing missing is a decision.
Decide to go for it. Decide to stop letting fear run the show. Decide to do it messy. Decide to trust yourself now, not “later” when it makes sense or feels safe. Because if there’s anything I’ve learned about leaping… it’s that the magic doesn’t come before the decision. It comes after.
You’re allowed to want more. You’re allowed to crave a softer life. A richer one. A wilder one. A different one. You don’t owe anyone an explanation. You just have to decide.
And if you’re in that energy, of knowing you’re meant for something bigger but unsure how to make the leap, come do this next month with me.
The Leap Year Activation starts July 1
A 30-day challenge for anyone who is in the “almost” season. You’re almost ready to quit and travel the world. Almost ready to buy your first or next property. Almost ready to start that super aligned business. Almost ready to bet on yourself. And yet you’re still standing on the edge of something big.
You’re in that weird in-between space. The part where you know you’re meant for more, but you’re still living like the old you. And this is where most people stay stuck, because they don’t know how to actually take the leap. They wait until it’s “clear.” Until it “makes sense.” Until they feel “ready.”
But what if the clarity comes after the leap? What if your next level is only unlocked by doing the thing that scares you, excites you, and sets your soul on fire?
Every day for 30 days, you’ll get a voice note from me inside Substack. Some days it’ll feel like a pep talk. Some days it’ll feel like a reset. Some days it’ll punch you in the gut (in the best way). But every single day, it’ll remind you who TF you are.
This isn’t a mindset challenge. It’s an identity shift. It’s about becoming the version of you who actually lives the life you’ve been talking about. The version who books the flight. Who buys the property. Who leaves the job. Who starts the thing.
This is your invitation.
To step into the version of you who lives the life you actually want. Who doesn’t just dream it, but decides it’s already hers.
Even if you’re reading this after July 1, it’s not too late. You can jump in at any time and catch up on the voice notes. They’ll all be waiting for you.
In the final week of the challenge, I’m hosting a private livestream only for the folks inside. So if you want to be in the room, now’s the time to join.
And for my paid subscribers, every week I’ll be dropping Substack content just for you. This week, I’m talking about life without Lexapro and the emotional numbing that happens in corporate. And future weeks you can expect things like my ultimate Italy guide and the travel stories that shaped this business, or how to actually scale in real estate if you’ve got one property and are thinking, “Okay but how the hell do I quit my job from this?”
This is our summer of clarity. Of alignment. Of making moves that match the life you say you want.
I’ll see you inside the activation.
Because your leap year? It starts now.

📌 Ready to Build Wealth and Stop Waiting for “Someday”?
You can keep overthinking and staying stuck in the 9–5…
Or you can learn the exact steps I used to buy my first rental property with your corporate salary and start living for free.
This free course breaks it all down.
Real estate doesn’t have to be complicated. You just need a strategy that works.
Inside the course, you’ll learn how to:
Buy your first rental property in 6 months or less
Use low-down-payment loans (no, you don’t need $100K saved)
Start living for free by house hacking
Replace your salary with passive income
Travel when you want, not just when your boss approves it
This is the roadmap I wish I had when I was burnt out and ready for more.
Let’s make your freedom era real.
🏡 If you're a high-income woman and you KNOW real estate is on your To-Do List in the next 6-12 months, but are nervous about getting started…
Apply for Wanderlust Wealth Academy.
It starts with a free Discovery Call. You’ll join a community of like-minded women, and we will hold your hand through the entire process.
You don’t have to do this alone!
PS - If this post stirred something in you, would you do me a favor and share it with someone who needs to hear it too?
Restacking helps get this message into the hands of more girlies who are ready to leap, out of the box, out of the burnout, and into a life that actually feels like theirs. 💫
The more it spreads, the more I can keep writing the kind of content that helps you build your dream life—on your terms.
