First & Jenn Morning Coffee: Get the Little Treat. Life Is Too Short.
Somewhere along the way, we decided joy had to be earned. No coffee unless you finish the work. No candle unless the house is spotless. No little treat until everything is perfect. That’s exhausting. The little treat isn’t about indulgence. It’s about permission. It’s saying life doesn’t need to be miserable to be productive. A…

First & Jenn Morning Coffee: Everyone Needs an Alter Ego
There are days when motivation is nowhere to be found. Confidence is quiet. Self-doubt is loud. That’s when the alter ego steps in. An alter ego isn’t fake. It’s intentional. It’s the version of you who does the thing anyway. The one who speaks clearly, walks taller, finishes what she starts. You don’t need to…

First & Jenn Morning Coffee: Psychological Desk Decor Tips for a Calmer Brain
Your desk is not just a workspace. It’s a psychological environment. Every extra object is a micro decision. Every pile is visual noise. Your brain notices even when you think you don’t. Minimalism isn’t about aesthetic perfection. It’s about reducing stress you didn’t realize you were carrying. A clean surface gives your mind room to…

First & Jenn Morning Coffee: The Delulu Morning Routine That Actually Helps
I used to roll my eyes at “morning routines.” The cold showers. The journaling. The manifestation talk that feels one step away from pretending your problems don’t exist. Then I realized something. Discipline doesn’t show up when life is calm. It shows up when you do the thing you don’t want to do first. That’s…

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. But what if the reason things feel slow isn’t because you’re behind, but because…

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…
