Sunday Cup of Joy
A weekly orientation
Sunday Cup of Joy exists because too many people are tired in a very specific way.
Welcome to my quiet rebellion against hustle culture.
Sunday Cup of Joy is a weekly note with stories, perspective shifts, and gentle reminders that you don’t have to exhaust yourself to move forward. It’s not about having it all figured out. It’s about noticing what matters, choosing intention over noise, and finding joy right in the middle of real life.
No fixing. No performing. Just returning to what already works.
We talk values, momentum, creative pivots, and how to move with clarity instead of hustle. Messy is allowed. Curiosity is encouraged.
Welcome & Grab your cup.
I’ve watched trends rise and fall. I’ve survived versions of success that weren’t sustainable. I’ve rebuilt more than once.
Sunday Cup of Joy comes from the seat of someone who is no longer interested in pretending certainty is the goal.
I’m interested in helping people orient themselves when something needs to shift—but there isn’t a clear formula yet.
That’s where my work lives now.
Sunday Cup of Joy is:
a weekly pause
a moment of recognition
a place to soften before the week asks anything of you
a shared language for noticing what’s real
It is not:
a recap
a funnel
a productivity tool
a place to “keep up”
If you read it and do nothing else, it has done its job.
Often asked question to myself:
Why keep doing this after burnout?
Because burnout taught me what urgency destroys.
This practice exists precisely because I won’t build anything that requires me—or anyone else—to override themselves to belong.
Why come back to Thriv again and again?
Because Thriv isn’t a brand to me. It’s a living question:
What does it look like to build a life and body of work that can keep changing without breaking you?
Every return refines that answer.
Is this spiritual? Psychological? Strategic?
It’s human.
I borrow language carefully and avoid authority theater. I’m interested in lived intelligence, not reductionism.
Will this turn into something bigger?
Some things do. Some things stay small on purpose.
Sunday Cup of Joy is meant to remain enough.
If it opens a door elsewhere, it does so gently.
An open invitation
If you’re here because you’re tired of being rushed into certainty—
You’re in the right place. If you want a weekly reminder that nothing is wrong with you for needing a pause, you’re in the right place. Sunday Cup of Joy is not asking you to become someone new.
It’s inviting you to return before you reach
If you ever want to linger longer with one of these notices, I sometimes follow the thread elsewhere.
No rush. Nothing to keep up with.
