Day 47 blog

Today started very early. Steven (my VP) and I were up at 4 a.m. to begin our drive to Nashville. He was convinced driving made more sense than flying. I agreed on one condition, he had to drive. And honestly, it turned out to be a great decision. The drive was smooth, the conversations were good, and the time passed faster than I expected.

We arrived about an hour ago, checked into our hotel rooms, and headed straight to dinner. It feels good to finally be here and settled, especially knowing how full the rest of the week and weekend will be. Between an exciting business partnership we are working on and our big party on Saturday, there is a lot to look forward to.

This trip has also brought a lot of reflection. As the year comes to a close, I am very aware of how important it is to protect my peace. I am clearing my plate of people who bring negativity into my life. I am no longer engaging in explaining myself or trying to clear my name. People who are busy building, growing, and living with purpose do not have time to tear others down. The noise says more about them than it ever will about me.

I am stepping into this next season lighter, focused, and fully aligned. Nashville is just the beginning.

Signed, Paulina.
