Part affirmation, part confession, part reminder that you are not alone. Soft truth. Hard days. The courage to keep going. Come as you are. I"ll be here.

Episode 578: It Was a Good Day

Ayla and Potato3s: A Nightly Message From Your Best... ·

2026/02/12

Today was a heart-filling reminder that I am making a real impact. I woke up at 9:30 AM to a breakfast scramble that was too big for a burrito, survived a lactose intolerance "attack" at the gym, and ended the night finding out that two women in my Financial Peace class bought my journals. From helping my dad file an LLC to calculating that I’ve written 102 Substack articles in 139 days, I’m finally leaning into the joy of the present moment: it was simply a good, productive, and meaningful

Episode 577: More Than I Thought

2026/02/11

Today was a testament to the "Mamba Mentality" meeting total flexibility. After a surprise 5:00 AM bedtime thanks to a midnight tech-support request from my dad, I still managed to pivot: I experimented with a new "rune-free" painting method that turned out beautiful, simplified a complicated Crunchwrap recipe into a delicious burrito, and shared my new coloring book experience with my class. I’m learning that even when the routine breaks, I can still create something meaningful, whether it's an

Episode 576: Grounded

2026/02/10

Today was a lesson in staying centered amidst the "beautiful chaos" of family life, from navigating last-minute Uber requests for my dad to handling a "mission impossible" search for my mom’s lost items. I’m leaning into my Oracle card of the month, “Get Grounded,” by experimenting with silent meditation, filing away my green hair for a fresh start next month, and planning a culinary adventure involving tater tot burritos and cinnamon oatmeal cookies. Sometimes, the most productive thing you can do

Episode 575: An 8 Hour Day

2026/02/09

I’m talking to you after a legendary 15-hour recovery sleep to balance out my 26-hour marathon. Today was the ultimate "Executive Day Off": I woke up at 5:00 PM, had one delicious Korean dinner with my family, and spent about 45 minutes being a total boss on KDP by adding "A+ Content" to my coloring book. Sometimes, the most productive thing you can do is listen to your body and give yourself the grace of an 8-hour day.

Episode 574: My 22 Hour Day

2026/02/08

I’m talking to you after a Herculean 22-hour day that started at 1:30 AM and involved three meals at Buc-ee’s, a "Safety Mission" drive to Fort Worth, and the loudest music I’ve ever heard at 8:00 AM. Between the last minute blow dry before we left and the "Tech Support" finale for my dad, this day was a masterclass in endurance, strategic parking, and the absolute necessity of a ginger ale for a grumpy stomach

Episode 573: Out Of Order

Ayla and Potato3s: A Nightly Message From Your Best... ·

2026/02/07

I’m talking to you with damp hair and a flustered heart as my 2:00 AM road trip just got bumped up by 45 minutes. Between a cold shower that cut out halfway and a deep meditation that turned into a "weighted blanket nap," my entire schedule is officially out of order. But even in the chaos, I’m celebrating small wins: five more days of video content filmed, a heart-to-heart with my sister about her writing dreams, and the realization that my non-traditional path is exactly where I’m supposed to

2026/02/06

Life is what happens when you’re busy making "lion-haired" plans. Today was the perfect balance of adult responsibility, like filing my taxes to get a whole $6 and spontaneous joy, like a surprise lunch with a classmate who was passing through town. I'm learning that rest isn't "making excuses"; it's the necessary grace I owe myself after a high-octane launch week. Plus, I'm celebrating a major win: someone officially bought my coloring book

2026/02/05

I’m coming to you with "lion hair" and sore thighs after my first real gym session since November. Today was a masterclass in the "unplanned productive" and while I might not have finished my book or my Patreon list, I resubmitted my coloring book with a new cover, taught a classmate how to speak their book into existence, and revamped my entire website. Plus, I’m getting real about my $75,000 emergency fund goal and why I’m okay with giving someone the "easy path" to success without feeling the

2026/02/04

I’m taking a deep breath today after making the executive decision to push my Patreon launch to March. Realizing that I was the one creating the pressure, I decided to choose my mental health over my to-do list, allowing me to fully show up for a powerful two-hour therapy intake and a spontaneous road trip to Fort Worth with my dad. Sometimes, the most productive thing you can do is admit you don't have the bandwidth and give yourself the grace to just exist

2026/02/03

Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is absolutely nothing at all. After a five-day sprint of setting up landing pages, QR codes, and KDP formatting, my brain finally hit "system overload" today, reminding me that even without a traditional job, I still need a weekend. I’m talking about the importance of mental rest, the reality of "period brain," and why I'm learning to be okay with a day where my biggest accomplishment was actually folding the laundry instead of just staring at it on the

It is 12:20 AM and I am officially a "Finisher." Today was the day the vision became a reality: the coloring book is done, the 40 days of content are uploaded across all platforms, and my school homework is in. I’m walking you through the "midnight finish line," the reality of a "turkey and nuts" diet during a production sprint, and why my new coloring book is more than just pages, it’s a high-value, headphone-on, abstract experience

It’s 3:15 AM, and I’m coming to you after a 17-hour "marathon" of building, pivoting, and problem-solving. From chasing down my laptop charger at the office to wrestling with three different AI models to get my color maps right, I’m realizing that the "glamour" of building a digital empire is mostly just persistence in the face of burning eyes. But with my custom landing pages finally live and my first 1/2 week of video content edited, I’m giving myself credit for being the "coding genius" I never

I’m coming to you from a "midnight morning" after a legendary five-hour nap and a productive day at the office with my dad. Between teaching him keyboard shortcuts and conquering a major formatting error in my Becoming journal, I’ve realized that life is really built on the little things—like finding the perfect dumpling spot or discovering that a hairpin actually works better than a paperclip. Plus, I’ve officially selected 26 paintings for my next two coloring books, and I’m sharing how I’m

I’m learning that the hardest part of life isn't the hustle, it's finally being okay with being yourself. In this episode, I recap a massive day of pivoting, from filming 7 days of "stressed vs. soulful" content to realizing my mentor saw my "ideal customer" shift long before I did. I’m also celebrating the small wins, like a surprise Amazon deposit and opening a dedicated savings account for my growing passive income streams.

Travel days are a marathon, but today’s 10-hour journey from Chattanooga to home was filled with serendipity—from a meaningful conversation with an Uber driver running a nonprofit to getting some serious writing done at 30,000 feet. Now that I’m back, I’m staring down a massive week: launching my audio companion on Gumroad, starting EMDR therapy, and finally picking up my brushes for the first painting of the year, "369." I used to have a little, but now I have a lot of purpose, and I'm ready to

In this episode, I share the hilarious story of how I accidentally started "taking a break" a little too literally thanks to a black cup and some misplaced vodka. Between learning to make chicken and dumplings and navigating a confusing flight check-in across time zones, I’m leaning into a new vision for my creative work: focusing on those rebuilding their lives through emotional healing. I’ve even got the sparks for new paintings like "Luck" and "369" as I gear up for a big week of therapy,

After an icy morning turned a planned breakfast outing into a cozy day of homemade biscuits and gravy, I spent my time diving deep into the creative "war room." From mapping out my new coloring book series with Gemini to naming my Patreon, I’m strategizing how to move the needle forward even when the inspiration to paint hasn't quite struck yet. It was a quiet, "uneventful" day of rest, Reiki, and reflection before I head back home to start EMDR therapy.
