🤷🏼‍♀️ Me: optimizes business Also me: forgets to eat lunch There's a better way.


Aloha Bestie,

Can I be honest with you for a sec?

For a long time, I thought I just needed to fix one more thing.

Get more consistent with content. Build better systems in my business. Finally get my inbox under control. Organize my Notion. The list never ended.

And every time I poured my energy into one area… something else quietly fell apart.

Sound familiar?

The problem wasn’t that I wasn’t trying hard enough. It was that I kept treating every part of my life like a separate problem that needed a separate solution. Business stuff over here. Personal stuff over there. Wellness someday. Creativity… maybe later.

Everything started to shift when I stopped trying to “optimize” my way out of the overwhelm and started asking what I actually wanted my days to feel like. That’s when I stopped chasing balance and started building alignment. And honestly? The difference has been everything.

It’s also exactly why I’m so excited to be speaking at the Aligned Life Summit — a free, 5-day virtual event happening March 23–27, 2026.

My session is all about building simple systems that actually stick — not more complexity, not another app, just a practical framework for finally feeling organized without the pressure. And I’m sharing the Friction Finder Framework, which is one of my favorite tools for figuring out exactly where things are breaking down in your day.

Some of the other incredible voices inside:

📋 Jennifer Fast — Aligned Productivity After Burnout

🌱 Telana Simpson — Breaking Free from Imposter Syndrome

✨ Paulina Kabaczuk — From Burnout to Breakthrough

And here’s what I love most about how this summit is set up: all sessions drop on Day 1 — Monday, March 23rd — and you have the entire week (through Sunday, March 29th) to watch at your own pace. No scrambling. No rigid schedule. Just a full week to invest in yourself.

This isn’t about adding more to an already full life. It’s about finally getting everything to work together.

🎟 Grab your free spot here:

I truly hope you’ll join me — I’m pouring a lot of heart into this session and can’t wait to share it with you.

With aloha, Selena

P.S. pssst...hereʻs what Iʻm sharing in the summit and canʻt wait!

Not sure where to start once you're in? There's a personalized quiz inside that helps you figure out which of the five pillars needs your attention most right now — so the week feels supportive, not overwhelming.

P.P.S. Oh — and in case you missed it, my podcast Keep. Ditch. Try. with my biz bestie Anna just dropped its first episode of the new season! 🎉 If you love the idea of cutting through the noise and building a business that actually fits your life, you'll love it. Go give it a listen.

Think of this email as having your work bestie sharing what they found on social media, in their emails, what tool they used to make the job easier, and community besties that may be of value for their (your) network. Techie Bestie Activate. (*sips coffee*)

Aloha besties! One of the hardest parts of making money online isn’t just figuring out what to create next… It’s knowing how to actually make it happen. Maybe you’re out of ideas.Maybe your creativity feels a little tapped out.Or maybe you have ideas—but no clear path to bring them to life. Here’s the thing: every creative person hits that point. And it’s actually a good sign. It means you’re ready for your next level of ideas and execution. That’s exactly why I joined the Creation Lab...
