First & Jenn Morning Coffee: Dear December, I’m Coming in Softer, Not Smaller
Dear December, I’m not rushing into you this time. I’m not sprinting to the finish line or trying to prove that I did enough this year. I’m walking in slowly, quietly, with intention. This time, I want peace to be the priority. This year taught me how loud the world can get when you forget…

First & Jenn Morning Coffee: The Bye Week Mindset
Every team needs a bye week. A moment to rest, reset, and remember what they’re playing for. It’s not a luxury — it’s strategy. And maybe life works the same way. We all love to stay in motion. To keep producing, performing, pushing. But just like a team that runs the same plays too long,…

First & Jenn Morning Coffee: Maybe the Universe Is Pacing You
We live in a world that glorifies speed. Quicker results, faster growth, instant validation. It’s always about how fast you can get there — to the job, the dream, the recognition, the version of yourself you thought you’d be by now.

First & Jenn Morning Coffee: A Letter to my Hometown
As of today, I am no longer saying I come from the township in which I was raised in. In an effort to not dox myself, I will say I do identify with the town / borough I grew up in, but not the township itself. The township itself is poison to the mind and…

First & Jenn Morning Coffee: When Goals Stop Feeling Like Growth
At some point, chasing goals starts to feel different. Not exciting, not even stressful — just heavy. You look around and realize you’ve been measuring yourself by progress charts instead of peace levels. You’re achieving, but not evolving. That’s when you know growth has shifted into autopilot. We’re told to keep moving, to stay ambitious,…

First & Jenn Morning Coffee: I Built a Life Around the 50-Yard Line
If you’ve ever loved football the way I do, you know it’s not just a game. It’s a rhythm, a mindset, and a metaphor for every single thing we go through. I didn’t just grow up watching football — I grew up learning from it. I learned patience from the huddle, trust from the play call, and…

First & Jenn Morning Coffee: The Girl Who Outgrew Her Checklist
→We spend so much of our lives chasing the next goal that we forget why we started running in the first place. We call it ambition, and maybe it is, but somewhere along the way it becomes autopilot. You hit a goal, then another, then another, and yet you still feel like you’re falling behind.…

First & Jenn Morning Coffee: You Have to Get Smart to Survive These Times
We don’t live in the same world our parents did. Back then, it felt like you could work hard, stay loyal, and build a decent life off stability alone. Now, stability is a moving target. Everything feels expensive — from groceries to peace of mind — and we’ve had to adapt just to keep up.…
