episode 5: feeling good rituals
What does it really look like when you choose to feel good—deeply, honestly, in your bones?
In this part 2 finale of the hustle culture series, I reflect on my experiments with feeling good in 2025—and what that has meant for my business, my self-care, and my relationship with success.
Here’s the episode outline:
real talk about how choosing feeling good affected my money, income, & spending
my intuition’s definition of success and how that rewired my brain
changes to the way I learn and what I learn
a tricky situation about choosing feeling good
slowing down & it’s relationship to intuition
being embarrassed by choosing to feel good
being in my body
wild synchronicities!
having very few structures
a journaling ritual about feeling good
ritually watching a movie about feeling good
part 1: choose your language
If you need different words for this energy, instead of ‘feeling good’, then go ahead make up your own.
It doesn’t matter what the words are as long as they represent the balanced opposite of hustle culture.
Maybe you like the word 'tingly' or 'peacefully skippy'. Or maybe you like the phrase 'gooey inside'. Or maybe you just like the word ‘alignment’.
Whatever floats your boat!
part 2: journaling ritual
Where have I been hustling, struggling, pushing, or striving?
What is one area or a few where I can welcome feeling good?
What are my doubts, fears, & anxieties around welcoming feeling good in this area?
What do I feel like will happen because I welcomed feeling good?
What do I feel like won’t happen because I welcomed feeling good?
What's one action I can take this week based on the question above? Please note we're not forming habits or routines. we're simply doing what feels good
part 3: watch the movie chocolat!
If you’ve already watched it, watch it again!

until next time,
may you welcome the dignity of feeling good
