In this episode, I talk about the struggle of balancing “waking up” and “showing up.” Waking up is the thinking, reflecting, and planning part of life, while showing up is taking action and doing the work. I share that many of us feel stuck doing too much of one and not enough of the other, especially when life feels chaotic. I explain that this tension is normal and something we all face. The goal is not perfection, but alignment, making sure our thoughts, values, and actions work together.

I walk through a simple daily process from the Accountability Code that helps bring waking up and showing up into the same day. This includes making a short task list, praying or checking in for guidance, setting priorities, taking action, and ending the day with reflection and feedback. I remind you to give yourself grace and start small. Even doing one step better can create peace and momentum. When waking up and showing up align, we feel more grounded, more confident, and more like the person we are meant to be.
