Hi Reader,

​

Welcome to The Sunday Shift!

​

Let’s talk about Commitment, the kind that moves your life forward.

​

Yesterday, you didn’t get The Sunday Shift in your inbox. And here’s why:

Life happened. Priorities shifted. Commitments took precedence.

​

I could have rushed to send something late last night, just to check a box. But that wouldn’t have been in alignment with what I teach about self-leadership.

​

When I think about commitment, it’s not about perfection. It’s about being intentional and making conscious choices that support your bigger vision—even when that means adjusting your plans.

​

So today, instead of an apology, I’m offering you a new perspective:

What if commitment isn’t about never missing a step—but about staying aligned, even when life pulls you in different directions?

​

⚡️ 1 Habit

Commit with clarity.

​

Before saying yes this week, pause and ask:

• Is this aligned with my energy and priorities?
• Am I saying yes to avoid guilt (or shame)?
• Would delaying (or adjusting) allow me to show up more fully?

​

Why it works: Commitment doesn’t mean saying yes to everything. It means saying yes to what truly matters.

​

📖 1 Story

The commitment that changed everything.

​

I’ve always had a belief: quality over quantity. But this belief didn’t always translate to commitments. Years ago, I thought commitment meant always delivering, no matter what. That meant pushing through exhaustion, overloading my schedule, and showing up even when my energy was depleted.

​

I thought the push, the struggle was leadership. I was wrong.

​

One day, I found myself so overcommitted I was barely present for any of it. And who suffered? Not the work. I did. My family did.

​

And that’s when it hit me:

I wasn’t committed, I was acting out of obligation. There’s a difference.

​

So I started shifting how I defined commitment. Instead of overloading, I got clear. I committed to:

• Showing up fully, not just out of obligation.
• Choosing alignment over urgency.
• Giving my best energy, not just my time.
• Committing to what and who aligned with my priorities.

​

That shift changed everything—how I lead, how I show up, and how I create impact. Ultimately, who I am.

​

🎯 1 Focus

Redefine commitment.

​

This week, reflect on where you are placing your commitments:

• Where are you showing up out of habit, not intention?
• What commitments could you refine, delay, or release?
• How can you start honoring your own commitments (the way you honor everyone else’s)?

​

Keep in mind: True commitment isn’t about doing more, it’s about choosing better.

​

What’s one commitment you’re making with clarity this week? Drop it here. I’d love to hear (and I promise, I’m listening).

​

Here’s to leading with intention… on Sundays, Mondays, and every day in between.

​

See you next Sunday.
