🧠 Be more disagreeable

I’m hosting my first ever virtual event on August 20th and I’d love for you to join. Not only will my friends Yung Pueblo and Jillian Turecki be teaching portions of it, but I’ll take you through MANTRA - my 60 minute process for handwritten optimism. This is a process I’ve used for tens of thousands to anchor their worth and rewrite their story. You’ll walk away with a custom handwritten mantra that becomes your new standard.

Tickets are FREE when you pre-order my new book “The Opposite of Settling.”

If you’ve ever felt like you were too much, been told to lower your standards, or stayed when your heart was begging you to talk away, “More Life, More Love” is for you.

1. Be more disagreeable

Trying to be “chill” and agreeable might make you more likable, but it also makes you tolerable to the wrong people and invisible to the right ones. You become the emotional cheerleader, the forgiver, the one who stays quiet and “cool” just to maintain connection. But peacekeeping isn’t love. It isn’t friendship. It doesn’t work in business. It’s survival. And it leads to resentment and regret.

Real connection isn’t built on silence. It’s built on truth.

There’s research to back this up. One studies from Dana Jack showed that self-silencing is linked to higher depression. Another study found that disagreeable people - those who ask for what they want and don’t settle - earn significantly more money. Another study found that people who complain constructively tend to be happier. Why? Because honesty leads to resolution, but suppression leads to resentment.

Being disagreeable might sound like: “I want to talk about what happened last night,” or “I need consistency, not breadcrumbs.” These aren’t demands. They’re invitations to real connection.

Here’s the truth: You don’t find your person by being agreeable. You find them by being honest. By being defined.

The next time you feel the urge to say “whatever works for you,” ask yourself: What actually works for me?

2. You’re NOT running out of time…

If you feel like you’re running out of time, I want to remind you of something simple.

Let’s say you’re 30. Statistically speaking you still have more than 3,600 sunrises left in this decade alone. That’s 3,600 mornings to wake up and fall in love with life.

Your heart? It’ll beat over 1.3 billion more times before you’re 80. That’s over a billion reminders that you’re still here. Still capable of joy, ambition, beauty, love.

You have around 25,000 more showers left in your life. That’s 25,000 chances to wash off what doesn’t belong to you and start again.

You have over 600 more full moons left to witness. That’s 600 chances to reconnect with wonder, even if the world tried to dull it in you.

You have over 11,000 meals left to enjoy this decade. That’s thousands of chances to sit down, slow down, and taste something worth remembering.

There are over 2,000 strangers you haven’t met yet who might completely change your life - friends, partners, mentors, soulmates, and people who bring out your unfiltered side.

And time? Time’s still on your side. You have over 87,000 hours left in this decade - that’s 87,000 chances to show up differently.

You’re not behind. You’re not done. Some of your life’s best days haven’t even introduced themselves yet.

3. FOUR quotes to inspire you to take the leap of faith

• The purpose of life is to take crazy leaps of faith and call it research for your future memoir.

• My plan? Live so fully that my future self never has to wonder “what if.”

• Life is so much more fun when you stop waiting for the stars to align and you start dancing under the ones already shining.

• You’re not afraid to look ridiculous in the pursuit of joy, and that’s why you’re going to get everything you desire.

* I want to help you create your own mantra to guide your next leap of faith. Join “More Life, More Love” for my 60 minute MANTRA session and you’ll leave with your own handwritten sentence that speaks to your life’s next chapter.
