I've been in FOG lately


Let me be honest with you.

I've been in FOG lately off and on.

Not rock bottom. Not falling apart. Just… disconnected. From my clarity. From my power. From the version of me I know exists.

And I know some of you are there right now too.

So let's talk about it.

FOG is not failure.

FOG is what happens when we drift from ourselves.

It feels like:

  • Low energy with no obvious reason why
  • "I'll deal with it later" becoming your default
  • Overthinking decisions you used to make easily
  • Numbing out. Scrolling. Staying busy to not feel
  • Avoiding hard conversations and then hating yourself for it
  • Questioning yourself in rooms where you used to walk in confident
  • Knowing, knowing, you are capable of so much more… and not being able to access it

FOG isn't who you are.

It's a state you're in.

And that distinction? It changes everything.

FIRE is different.

FIRE is what today feels like for me.

Clear. Decisive. Grounded. Emotionally available.

Not perfect but powerful.

FIRE is when you respond instead of react. When you speak the truth instead of swallow it. When you move forward even when fear shows up at the door.

FIRE is not a personality type. It is not reserved for people who had easier childhoods or better circumstances or more time or more money.

FIRE is a state. And it is buildable.

Here's what I need you to hear:

You will have FOG days. Even FOG moments inside of good days.

I still do.

The goal is not to eliminate FOG.

The goal is to build the awareness and the tools to move yourself back into FIRE faster.

To catch yourself and say:

"I'm in FOG right now."

Instead of:

"This is just who I am."

Those two sentences have completely different trajectories.

One keeps you stuck.

One sets you free.

This is what we build inside CMS.

You learn your patterns.

You strengthen your nervous system.

You rewrite the sentences that have been running your life on autopilot.

You track your Core 4.

You stop waiting for motivation and start building FIRE on purpose, on repeat.

Today I'm in FIRE.

I'm riding it.

And I know FOG will come again.

The difference now? It doesn't own me.

If you are tired of foggy days feeling like your default…

If you are ready for more FIRE not by accident, but by design…

Reply to this email with the word FIRE.

I will personally reach out and we can chat about what this would look like for you.

This is an invitation from someone who has lived both states and refuses to stay in one of them.

FOG or FIRE.

You choose.

PROUD OF YOU 💙

Walking with you,

Leasha

Something hit me while I was out doing deliveries today. Just random thoughts while driving. But they stopped me. I started thinking about the life I have now. And the truth is, I never thought I would have this. The friends I have now? I never dreamed people like this existed for someone like me. People who show up, who support me and who care without keeping score. It makes me emotional thinking about it. Because for decades, I was the other girl. Overextending. People pleasing. Always the...

Whew. What a weekend. It's Sunday. Time changed last night. I'm running on fumes and I have zero regrets. If you didn't get an email from me yesterday, that's why. Birthday weekend. My wife had the entire thing planned and we were basically gone from Friday until right now. Friday night we did a little staycation. Saturday... paintball (I am still feeling that today 😅), dinner, then games at a friend's house until way too late. This morning, pickleball with another couple. Tonight, a couple...

Today is my 37th birthday. I didn't sleep much last night. Not because anything was wrong. I think I was just… excited. I woke up feeling good. My wife took a half day and apparently has the entire weekend planned out to celebrate. Around here we celebrate everything and I am not complaining about that one bit. But before I go do that, I want to share something with you. When I signed up for the Enlifted coaching certification, I had hope that it could help me. I did not realize how powerful...
