What happens when you take a bunch of colorful com

What happens when you take a bunch of colorful compliments, a group of kind-hearted humans, and sprinkle in some playful mischief? 💌

Operation Merriment: Compliment Edition was pure magic! 🪩 We gathered at the 📖 beautiful Enoch Pratt Library in Baltimore, wrote out the brightest, boldest compliments we could dream up, and then — well, we didn’t just keep them to ourselves.

We tucked them into books 📚 for future readers to discover, we taped them to street poles 🏙️, left them on windshields 🚗, and even handed them directly to strangers — all while wearing the silliest hats we could find 🎩💖

Every person left with a goody bag, a full heart, and memories of joy that rippled through the city. 🎉

And guess what? You can join us next time! 📅 Our next Operation Merriment is on April 26th at 12 PM, and this time... it’s all about Googly Eyes 👀!

Let’s make joy unavoidable. Let’s cause a beautiful scene together.

RSVP now at Uncustomary.org/OPM 🎉

Next up in our Joy Archetypes: The Heartfelt Caregiver!

– You give so much to others; now it’s your turn. Remember: Rest isn’t lazy, and boundaries aren’t mean – self-respect is the plot twist. If you’ve been feeling drained, you’re not broken… you’re just exhausted. It’s okay to put yourself first. Turn off your phone, take time for yourself – you deserve it!

🌸 To all the givers out there: The Positive Pulse is here to help you pour back into yourself. You can’t pour from an empty cup, right? 😉

Double tap if you’re claiming a night of self-care!

Take the quiz if you wanna find out if this is YOUR archetype! And there are SO many resources for burnout and caregivers in the PP for Free!

Once you know WHAT feels good, a great idea is to try to explain why and how it feels good, as if you were telling a child. 🤔

Needing to translate our feelings into simple language is a WONDERFUL practice for 🧠 your brain.

Something I loved was recently, I used this concept to ask a PP member how she would explain empathy to a child. 🚸

Her response: 💭 “When there is a kid in your class sitting alone and it makes you feel sad inside, that could be empathy, especially if you feel like you want to go sit with them. That is empathy and it is a superpower because it will let you help others throughout your life.”

Try it with something that feels good to YOU below! 👇

If you’ve ever said “yes” when your whole bo

If you’ve ever said “yes” when your whole body was screaming “no,” this one’s for you.

We went all the way in on the roots of people-pleasing—why we do it, how it steals our joy, and most importantly, how to set yourself free. 💛

This episode is tender and fiery.
Part pep talk, part poetry, part boundary bootcamp.

Inside, we talk about:
🔸 Why people-pleasing isn’t kindness—it’s fear
🔸 The science of why it feels so hard to say no
🔸 What “sober curiosity” has to do with self-abandonment
🔸 How feeling GOOD is actually the key to breaking the habit
🔸 Tiny tools that build massive self-trust over time

If you’re ready to reclaim your voice, set guilt-free boundaries, and finally stop putting yourself last—press play.

In the Positive Pulse, you can take a quiz to tell you your JOY Archetype!

Over the next week or so, I’m going to be sharing a peek into each archetype. Find out which one you are, and different energies you want to embrace.

PLUS! When you get your results on the quiz — you’ll find different resources that are specifically helpful for YOUR archetype. And they’re all free!

Let’s start with The Creative Explorer!

“Your creativity isn’t cringe; it’s medicine.”

If you light up at the smell of crayons or dream in doodles, this is for you. Embrace your hobbies and colorful whimsies – you’re not “too much,” you’re a masterpiece already and in flux! Don’t shy away from what lights you up — including your weirdness. Creative Explorers are often misunderstood.

Creative Explorers, The Positive Pulse is all about celebrating that spark. Ready to play with your creativity? [Link in bio] 💖
