When You Can’t See Him Working
G=Goals O=Outlook A=Authentic T=Truth (#coateisaGOAT) Sweet friend, I have been sitting with something all week that I just cannot shake.

The Tired That Feels Like a Gift
G=Goals O=Outlook A=Authentic T=Truth (#coateisaGOAT) Sweet friend, I’m writing this from the couch on a Sunday — my sacred reset day — and I’ll be honest with you… I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck. And the funny thing is, I haven’t done anything out of the ordinary. I worked my week. Showed…

Some People Just Feel Like Sunshine
G=Goals O=Outlook A=Authentic T=Truth (#coateisaGOAT) Sweet friend, I want to talk to you today about the people in your life who just feel like sunshine. You know the ones.

The Space Between Expectation and Trust
G=Goals O=Outlook A=Authentic T=Truth (#coateisaGOAT) I found myself thinking a lot about expectations this week… the ones we put on ourselves, and the ones we think other people are putting on us.
