the joyous rebellion

03.09.2025

WHEW. The world feels like a dumpster fire right now, huh?

Itā€™s like every time we turn around, thereā€™s another reason to be stressed, mad, or overwhelmed. And you know what? Thatā€™s by design.

Because exhausted people donā€™t fight back. Overwhelmed people donā€™t dream big. Burned-out people donā€™t have the energy to create magic.

So, this week, Iā€™m giving the chaos a big olā€™ middle finger āœŒļø and choosing softness, joy, and abundance instead. Wanna do it with me?

šŸ“ Strawberry Preserves & Abundance Magic šŸ“

Strawberries are on sale right now... and I am in full-on canning mode, taking advantage and making strawberry preservesā€”but this wasnā€™t just about slapping some fruit in a jar.

This was an abundance spell.

A little sugar, a little heat, and a whole lot of intentionā€”because sometimes, magic is just letting yourself receive.

šŸ”„ The Biggest Lie Society Sold Us šŸ”„

You know that voice in your head that says, ā€œIf itā€™s not hard, itā€™s not worth itā€? Yeah. Thatā€™s a scam.

Weā€™ve been taught that struggle = success. That the more we suffer, the more valuable we are. That being exhausted somehow makes us more worthy.

But what if ease is actually the most powerful thing of all?

Creating an Intention-Filled Home

Your home? Itā€™s a whole-ass spell.

Think about itā€”every candle, every cozy corner, every little ritual you do there? It all holds energy. So why not set that energy with intention?

Instead of letting chaos sneak into your space, letā€™s create a home that feels like an act of rebellion against burnout. A sanctuary. A place where your magic thrives.

šŸŽ¶ Bonus: A Soft Living Playlist šŸŽ¶

I found the coziest, dreamiest playlist this weekā€”one of those that just feels like a deep exhale. Perfect for slow mornings, soft evenings, or just vibing while you ignore the worldā€™s chaos.

šŸ–¤ Your Soft Rebellion for the Week

So hereā€™s your challenge: Rebel through ease. Do something soft, joyful, and completely for yourself. Romanticize your coffee. Take a stupidly long bath. Play music that makes you happy. Let yourself rest.

Whatā€™s one little act of rebellion youā€™re claiming this week? Hit reply and tell meā€”I wanna hear!
