Even now, that sentence feels surreal to write.

I’m not sure what I expected to feel in the weeks leading up to this moment—
excitement, maybe.

Gratitude.
Anticipation.

But not this.

I didn’t expect to relive some of the hardest parts of my story:

• Anxiety.

• Insecurity.

• Fear that kept me awake at 2 a.m., staring at the ceiling and questioning everything.

God chose this season—of all seasons—to dig His spade of Truth deep into the soil of my soul. And not gently.

👉 I wrote about it earlier this week in It Wasn’t the Roses That Were Failing.

I’m no stranger to imposter syndrome, but the struggle has been deeply real lately.

When Old Wounds Reopen

I told God something I didn’t even realize I’d been holding onto:

I wouldn’t have dreamed of joining a writing team—of sharing my story so honestly—if I had known I’d be reliving parts of it again more than a decade later.

I thought I was writing from a place of healing . . . only to feel the gut punch of one of my deepest wounds reopening almost overnight—just days after I submitted my final manuscript.

For weeks, I wrestled with that tension.

Until God gently interrupted my spiral with a simple reminder:

“You’ll always be living your story of healing, Kristy. That’s what will speak to others who are still living theirs.”

Showing Up Anyway

So this weekend, I’m packing my bags and heading to the Hope Bookstore in North Carolina to launch Hope in the Waiting with nine other incredible women.

And I’m not showing up as someone who has it all figured out.

I’m showing up as a woman still in the middle of it—still growing, still healing, still learning what it actually looks like to find hope in the messy, in-between seasons.

An Invitation to Be Part of the Story

Maybe you’ll find it a little ironic that my chapter is titled “Grace for the Slow Healer.”

Because that’s the grace I love to write about . . . and the one I so often forget to live.

I used to think I needed to be “fully healed” to share my story.

Now I see—this is the story.

If you’re in a season of waiting, wrestling, or wondering if God is still at work, this book is for you.

Hope in the Waiting officially launches Tuesday, April 21, but it’s available now on Amazon.

If you’d like to support this launch in a simple but meaningful way,
you can share about the book on social media on launch day—April 21. It truly makes a difference.

And if you’d like to read it for yourself, I would be so honored for you to grab a copy.

What Early Readers Are Saying

Thank you for being part of this journey with me.

I’m so grateful for you!

Veritas et Gratia,
Kristy 💐

For years, I didn’t know I could ask that question.

My identity felt assigned—be quiet, be obedient, be subdued, be agreeable.

And I lived under those inherited narratives as a teenage girl, a young pastor’s wife, and a mom wrestling daily with a frustration I didn’t know how to name.

But when we root ourselves in women’s identity in Christ, we don’t have to live by the scripts handed down to us.

We can show up as women of grace, strength, and confidence.

In fact, we are called by God to live into this higher, grace-shaped identity.

Shaping Each Day with Grace

These days, my answer to this question is often: loving, confident, gracious, or simply present.

Those are traits I could not own when I was bound by silence or codependency. They are traits of a woman who knows her worth in Christ and isn’t afraid to embody it in daily life.

There is great strength in showing up with a God-given, grace-shaped identity.

It doesn’t mean perfection. It means presence, faith, and willingness to live from the truth of who we are in Christ—not who we were told we had to be.

Your Turn

So let me ask you: How do you want to show up today?

Take a moment. Breathe. Ask Him.

Then write it down—carry it with you as a quiet declaration of who you are becoming.

Since July, I’ve been walking a new path—as a hospice chaplain. It’s drawn my 20+ years in vocational ministry into sharper focus, in ways I didn’t expect.

Pairing this sacred work with homeschooling my three sons? Not something I ever imagined doing at the same time. And yet—here we are.

Surprisingly, it feels like a season of beautiful both/and: both productivity and presence, structure and softness, service and slowness. We’ve curated a rhythm that honors our values, even in the messy middle of change.

Today, I want to share the specific tools and mindsets that are actually helping this season feel not just doable—but deeply life-giving.

If you’re navigating multiple roles or just craving more ease and intentionality, I hope these bring you a breath of simplicity and a spark of hope. ✨

In This Letter:

• Household Management

• Finances

• Self-Care

• Homeschooling

• The Bottom Line

Household Management (for the Working Homeschool Mom)

Greenlight Debit Card & App – This one’s transformed how we handle chores and allowance. My younger boys (15 and 12) now have real ownership over both their responsibilities and their spending.

The app automates everything—no more “Mom, did you pay me?” Just peace. 🙌

[Try Greenlight here.]

The Simplified Cookbook by Emily Ley – Simple. Delicious. Family-friendly. I loved it so much, I sent a copy to my daughter (a busy Army paralegal)—and she and her husband are obsessed. If you need to streamline dinner, it’s a gem.

(P.S. It’s on sale for $12.99—usually $29.99.) Buy on Amazon.

Finances

Acorns App – I’ve been using Acorns to quietly build a retirement cushion—even before I had W2 income. It simplifies investing, saving for emergencies, even writing a will. No overwhelm, just progress.

Want to try? I’ll send you $5 to get started. [Here’s the link.]

Rocket Money App – Need help cutting expenses, budgeting clearly, and planning without stress? This is the app I use—and it’s free (or $6/month for Premium). It’s taken a huge mental load off.

[Check it out.]

Self-Care

28 Wellness App – I’m not a gym girl. But this app? It’s home workouts, period tracking, daily insights, and recipes—all synced with my cycle. One place for holistic wellness.

[Read my full review.]

Terra & Co Oil Pulling Rinse – I love oil pulling, but who has 20 minutes to swish? This coconut oil rinse only takes five. Clean mouth, easy morning routine. [Learn more here.]

Self-Coaching Society with Susie Moore – After years of therapy and coaching, Susie’s self-coaching framework shifted everything for me.

Since joining in Feb 2025, I’ve:

• Released emotional blocks

• Reduced stress and expanded my capacity

• Started healing my money story

• Made aligned decisions in motherhood & work

This is less than $30/month—and worth every penny. [Try it here.]

Homeschooling

Outsourcing some subjects – This year, I’m teaching just two subjects—and outsourcing the rest. No guilt. Just relief. You don’t have to be the expert in every subject to be an excellent homeschool mom.

Check out:

• Faith-Based Online Homeschool Science—No Lesson Planning!

• The Best Homeschool Online Courses for Math, Science, Grammar, & More

Presence over perfection – On homeschool days, I’m home. Fully. I’ve ditched multitasking and embraced sacred slowness. And you know what? The boys feel it. I do, too.

I’m earning a full-time income doing what I love—and I’m finally enjoying homeschooling more than ever.

The Bottom Line

Being a working homeschool mom doesn’t demand perfection—it requires intentionality. The right tools. And the courage to stop doing what no longer serves and try something better.

I’d love to hear from you:
What’s lightening your load this season?
What tools, rhythms, or mindsets are helping you show up as your fullest self?

Kristy💐

Whether you’re navigating

• work stress,

• parenting challenges,

• financial pressures,

• health struggles,

• or simply the relentless pace of daily life,

creating small, intentional rhythms can make a world of difference.

Want a simple, FREE tool to help you build these rhythms into your week? Grab your free copy of The Grace Reset here.

I’m deep in one of these survival seasons myself.

• I’m launching young adult kids into the world while still homeschooling my younger ones.

• I’m teaching outside the home several days a week,

• growing my copywriting business on the side,

• and helping my husband and family rebuild after a major vocational transition.

And somewhere in the middle of all that, I’m trying to

• make sure the laundry gets done,

• the house doesn’t fall into total chaos,

• get enough sleep (even though insomnia likes to show up uninvited),

• and move my body every day to protect my mental and physical health.

Daily self care rituals aren’t about adding more pressure to your already full plate. They are about simplifying, softening, and strengthening your inner confidence.

They’re the quiet ways you say, “I am still here, and I still matter,” even when life feels bigger than you.

In a season where so much feels out of your control, daily self care rituals create anchors. They are about presence and gentle sustainability. (Doesn’t that sound like a breath of fresh air?).

Bottom line: Even in survival mode, you can practice confidence and self-care. In fact, you must.

Here are a few daily self care rituals I’m leaning into right now.

Daily Self Care Ritual 1: Start the Day with a Gentle Anchor

I try to begin my mornings with something grounding—even if it’s just a slow stretch on the living room floor or a quiet moment with my cup of hot tea before the house wakes up.

Your brain craves a signal that says, “It’s a new day, and I’m showing up for myself.”

The key is consistency over complexity.

Tip: I use the 28 app for easy cycle syncing food and workout suggestions.

2: Wear Something You Love (one of my favorite daily self care rituals)

Style can be a powerful tool for self-confidence, especially during survival seasons.

Some mornings, when it feels like I have a million things to manage, I still take a moment to pick an outfit that makes me feel a little more polished.

Even a favorite sweatshirt or a small piece of jewelry reminds me that I’m worth that tiny bit of extra attention.

Need some simple inspiration? Follow me on the LTK app for daily style picks and peep my daily makeup routine here.

3: Create a Small “Victory List”

When the days feel long and heavy, writing down three small wins has become a favorite daily self care ritual. It might be:

• “I showed up to the client call even though I was exhausted”

• “I made time for a 10-minute walk”

• “I got a load of laundry done”

Survival seasons aren’t about massive victories—they’re about tiny, faithful steps.

4: Take a 10-Minute Reset Break

I keep a reminder on my phone to take a 10-minute break midday—no screens, no pressure. Sometimes I step outside to feel the sun or lie down on the floor and just breathe.

That small pause resets my brain and reminds me that I’m a person first, not just a machine checking off a to-do list.

You might also love this post: “How to Create a Weekly Reset That Works for the Introverted Mom.”

5: Nourish Your Body Gently

Feeding myself well in survival mode has been a quiet revolution. I’m not perfect at it, but I aim for simple meals that make me feel nourished instead of drained.

Drinking enough water is one of those “small but mighty” victories I celebrate too.

6: Speak Kind Words to Yourself

This is a daily battle for me—catching the voice that says “you’re falling behind” and choosing to replace it with kindness: “You’re carrying a lot right now, and you’re doing it with courage.”

That simple shift is one of the most important daily self care rituals I practice.

7: Protect Your Sleep Ritual

Sleep is still tricky for me, thanks to some lingering insomnia, but I’ve learned that protecting a slow wind-down routine helps.

Even when life is hectic, I try to:

• Shut down screens early

• Read something light

• Give myself permission to rest, not just crash

Daily self care rituals don’t have to be perfect, pretty, or posted on social media to count.

They are private, powerful investments into your resilience. They are how you stay connected to your inner confidence when everything around you feels chaotic. They are how you build quiet strength, one gentle day at a time.

If you’re walking through a survival season right now, know this: you don’t have to overhaul your life to find your footing.

You just need a few soft rituals that remind you that you’re stronger than you feel.

Small moments become powerful anchors. Tiny habits become quiet acts of courage.

If you need help building a sustainable rhythm that actually fits your real life, I’d love to invite you to download The Grace Reset. ↓

You are doing better than you think my friend.

Keep living well, one breath and one ritual at a time.

The post 7 Daily Self-Care Rituals to Build Confidence in Survival Seasons appeared first on Simply Kristy Lynn.

The other brand I was looking at is a direct sales company (aka MLM), and if I’m being honest? I’ve done MLM sales in the past, and that model just doesn’t sit well with me. I didn’t want to buy into a company, hold inventory, send out samples, or host parties. And I definitely didn’t want to recruit people into a “team.”

So I paused. I sat with the decision.

Then Billion Dollar Beauty invited me to their affiliate program—through a platform I’d never used before called ShopMy.

And the moment I realized that the commission payout through ShopMy (a full 25%) was the same as the MLM brand I was about to sign up with—without any of the strings attached? I was sold.

No inventory.
No starter kit.
No parties.
No pressure.

Just a streamlined way to earn affiliate income from a brand I was already using every day—and the ability to link products from hundreds of other brands I love, too.

LTK vs. ShopMy: A Quick Overview

I now use both LTK and ShopMy to build creative income streams, and they each have their place. But they are very different platforms.

Here’s what I’ve noticed…

LTK: Big Platform Energy

LTK (formerly LIKEtoKNOW.it) is well-established in the influencer space. It’s perfect for creators who have a strong following and want to tap into a huge network of retailers.

Pros:

• Trusted platform with over 200,000 creators

• Shoppable links in the LTK app

• Great educational resources

Cons:

• A little overwhelming if you’re just starting out

• Getting approved as an LTK creator can be tough

• Commission rates vary and are less transparent

ShopMy: Streamlined + Creator-Friendly

If you’re wondering about Shop My requirements, the good news is the application process is simple!

ShopMy was designed for creators who want a clean, customizable space to curate product recommendations. Think digital storefront meets simple affiliate backend.

Pros:

• Higher commission rates (10–30% depending on the brand)

• Gorgeous, minimal storefront layout

• Easier to get started—even with a small following

• Access to clean beauty, fashion, home, and lifestyle brands

Cons:

• Still growing its brand library, though it’s expanded a lot

• Not as well-known to audiences yet (but that’s changing)

What Are the ShopMy Requirements?

If you’re wondering how hard it is to get started, here’s what you need:

• A social media presence (1,000+ followers is helpful but not required)

• Consistent content creation

• An application through their website

You can apply here using my personal referral link:
shopmy.us/join/simplykristylynn?referral=RJ9YUY

Once you’re approved, you’ll get access to your own storefront, where you can start linking products and earning commissions right away.

→ Here’s an example my “every day makeup” collection on Shopmy.

(This only took a few minutes to create.)

Shop My or LTK? (Here’s What I Recommend…)

When Billion Dollar Beauty reached out to me, I was at a crossroads: sell makeup through an MLM company with high buy-in and monthly sales minimums… or build an affiliate income stream with products I already loved—without jumping through hoops.

ShopMy made the choice easy.

Does it work? So far this month, I’ve earned $1,000 in commissions through ShopMy—on beauty, fashion, and clean lifestyle brands I love and use.

I’ve never had to invest in inventory or start a new Instagram account. I don’t have to build a team or push products I don’t believe in.

Instead, I get to share what I already love—with full transparency and creative freedom.

I’d say it’s working really well.

Bonus: You and I Both Benefit

ShopMy also offers a referral program for creators. When you sign up using my link, you’ll get a 10% bonus on your commissions and brand collabs for your first six months. I’ll also earn a 10% bonus for referring you. It’s a simple win-win.

Join ShopMy here and start creating your own storefront.

Final Thoughts

I still use both LTK and ShopMy—and I plan to keep using both. They serve different parts of my creative business.

But if you’re looking for an affiliate platform that makes it easy to start today—with higher commissions, no pressure to sell, and brands you already trust—ShopMy might be exactly what you’ve been waiting for.

And if you’re an introverted creative like me, wanting to earn without selling your soul (or bugging your friends)? This path is 100% for you.

Let me know if you have questions. I’d love to help you get started—I love hearing from you!

xo,

Kristy 💐

And if you’re an introvert? That burnout can sneak in quietly, until everything feels too loud, too fast, too much.

If you’ve been crashing into bed at night completely spent… but still feeling like you got nothing done, you may be experiencing early introvert burnout symptoms.

Here are subtle signs your energy is going to the wrong things—and what to do instead.

3 Introvert Burnout Symptoms You Can’t Ignore

1. You’re constantly doing, but rarely moving forward.

If your to-do list is full but your soul feels stuck, this is your sign.

Wasted energy often looks like:

• Saying yes out of guilt or obligation

• Over-committing to things that don’t align with your deeper purpose

• Operating out of pressure instead of peace

Years ago, I found myself on a webinar panel with three other bloggers. The opportunity should have been golden… except for the fact that the topic was something I felt absolutely apathetic about.

While the other bloggers chatted excitedly about easy-prep meals and how to make homemade calzones, I found myself mentally checking out. I held my phone to my ear for 60 minutes without contributing a single idea. (Lame, I know.)

Not surprisingly, I didn’t gain a single new follower, customer, or sale from that event. But it served as a huge “aha” moment that forced me to admit that, despite the mold I’d try to fit myself into, I did not want to write about homemaking and recipes.

After I got off that webinar, I promised myself I’d never again accept “a great invitation” that wasn’t aligned with my passion. And I haven’t.

What to do instead: Ask yourself, “Is this helping me move in the direction I actually want to go?”

For many of us, introvert burnout symptoms start with this misalignment—doing all the things, but none of them feeling truly fulfilling.

A productive woman doesn’t just work hard—she works wise. And wisdom starts with clarity.

2. You feel guilty when you rest.

Guilt is sneaky. And for introverted women especially, it often shows up when we try to rest or slow down.

You may tell yourself, I should be doing more. But if you never stop, you’ll eventually hit burnout.

Introvert burnout symptoms can include:

• Mental fog

• Emotional reactivity

• Avoidance of social interaction

• Lack of motivation for even things you once enjoyed

I remember a conversation I had with a friend several years ago. We were talking about how the work of motherhood never seems to end, and how giving ourselves permission to “pause” is a must.

My friend commented, “I always promise myself that I’ll rest after I get everything done.”

“And when is the last time you actually rested?” I asked, a bit pointedly.

She looked at me in surprise, and finally answered, slowly, “You know, it hasn’t happened yet…”

What to do instead: Build rhythms of emotional and physical rest into your daily and weekly schedule. (Never wait until it’s “all done,” because it never will be.)

Research shows we produce at our best when we embrace a rhythm of work and rest.

Give yourself permission to pause—because rest isn’t lazy. It’s strategic.

3. You’re trying to be the expert at everything.

When you’re trying to do it all, you burn out faster.

And for introverted women, that kind of over stimulation can become soul-deep. It drains your energy without anything life-giving to refill it.

As an Enneagram 1 and INTJ female, I fall into this trap a lot: trying to be an expert so I can help everyone solve their problems.

I’ve learned over the years that 99% of the time, people don’t want an expert anyway. What we need is someone who’s relatable.

What to do instead:

• Let go of perfection.

• Give yourself permission to delegate or simplify.

• Identify the things that only you can do (the list is probably surprisingly small)—and then create space for just that.

This is how you begin to recover from introvert burnout and step into calm, confident clarity.

Want help getting clear on what matters most?

If this post resonated, I created something just for you:

I created a simple printable called The Introverted Woman’s Weekly Reset to help you do exactly this.

Inside, you’ll find 5 gentle prompts to help you:

• Check in with your thoughts & energy

• Reflect on what matters (& what doesn’t)

• Realign with your purpose for the week ahead

It’s totally free, and it only takes a few minutes to fill out.

Final word, friend:

You weren’t made to live in overdrive. And burnout isn’t your fault—it’s just a signal.

A quiet one. But when you listen to it? It leads to clarity and freedom.

Let me know if this resonates,

xo,

Kristy

1. As a Creative Outlet

2. To Make Money from Home

3. Jump Start Your Writing Portfolio

Need some hand-holding? Check out my “How to Start a Blog” coaching sessions.

Here are three reasons to start a blog right away:

1) As a Creative Outlet

This is why I started blogging back in 2007. I was a young, stay-at-home mom with a toddler, a baby, & no family or close friends living nearby.

I loved to read & write, & blogging gave me a creative outlet for sharing what I was learning & what I loved.

Bonus: As an INTJ female (highly introverted woman), blogging helped me connect with other women who had similar interests… without having to leave my home. Win/win!

2) Make Money from Home

I’d been blogging for a few years before I realized that some people were making money from home through their blogs. There are a few main ways to do this:

• Affiliate links (partnering with companies you love & shop with)

• Selling digital products (like printables or ebooks)

• Services (like coaching, proofreading, copywriting, etc.)

Bonus: One blog post that ranks well in Google can provide years of ongoing, passive income.

Examples from my blog:

• Reading guide/book list (affiliate links)

• Fitness app/product review (affiliate/referral link)

• Oil pulling/product review (affiliate/referral link)

3) Start Your Writing Portfolio

If you know my work-from-home story, then you know that I worked on the editorial team for Fort Worth Moms for three years. This was a really good experience for me, & it ultimately helped me realize that I wanted to pursue copywriting as a career.

The Caveat: I was starting a freelance business from scratch, with no college education, very little work experience, & zero clients.

The Life Saver: As a lifestyle blogger of nearly two decades, I have years of “writing samples.” Literally every post on my blog, & the many guest posts I’ve written on other sites, is something I can feature when I’m pitching for a new gig or client.

And this is why I say, “Start blogging today.”

If you dream of writing in any professional capacity, start a blog.

Today.

The sooner you get started, the sooner you’ll have writing samples to showcase.

Need a leg up?

I know how overwhelming it can be to get started, both as a blogger & freelance copywriter.

I’m here to help! In addition to sharing my personal story & tips on this blog, here’s what I can do:

• You can write for me. Feel like your writing niche or style is a good fit for Simply Kristy Lynn? Pitch me a blog post idea & I just might publish your article here on my site. (You’ll end up with a quality “writing sample” for your portfolio.)

• I’ll teach you how to start a blog. Every month, I take a few creatives under my wing & help them launch their own blogs (within 30 days!). Get the full details here.

Do any of these reasons resonate with you?

But how to pick one word? That’s a bit trickier.

I’ve got you covered, Friend! Keep reading for a huge list of One Word Resolution Ideas.

Pro tip #1: Ideally, your “one word” should be an action word (a verb). This can help you visualize “doing” or putting your word into action.

Pro tip #2: Once you’ve landed on your word, take things a step further & use it to create a vision board.

I’m a fairly visionary, INTJ female, so anything that speaks of self-improvement & introspection is music to my ears. Every year, I use my One Word Resolution to map out goals for myself in specific areas of life. Wanna give it a try?

One-Word Resolution Ideas, IRL

Kristy’s One Word Resolution

I chose the word “move” for my 2025 One Word Resolution. Emotionally, mentally, & spiritually, I know that God is moving me out of old patterns & into greater freedom. I’m also focusing on being proactive in building my copywriting clientele, as well as staying active & healthy this year (which is challenging, the busier I get).

Most of us think about goals, vision boards, & improving our habits at the first of the year. I know I do. But any time is the perfect time to start fresh.

A new day. A new month. A new season. A new job.

As an INTJ female, planning & self-improving are two of my virtues (& sometimes vices).

Having a Vision Board, with actionable goals, helps me stay the course throughout the changing seasons & challenges of life.

And I always have a word for the year, too. This year (2025), my word is “move.” All the goals on my vision board center around my word.

This method of planning & goal setting works for me. Just in case you want to give it a whirl too, I’m sharing my vision board printable with you.

The Vision Board Printable

It’s actually a free template over in Canva, which means you can edit it however you like, then save it as a PDF & print it.

The template includes two pages:

• One for writing your goals (this is the page you’ll likely want to print)

• One for visualizing your goals (simply drag & drop images in Canva)

How to use the free vision board printable in Canva:

1. Request a password to my Freebie Library for Introverts (the form is below).
2. Confirm your email, then log into the Freebie Library with the password.
3. Tap the “Vision Board Printable” template link inside the library. Tap “Use Template for New Design.” This will open a copy of the template for you inside Canva. (If you don’t already have a Canva account, you can create one for free.)
4. Start customizing the Vision Board Printable! You can literally change anything you want–colors, fonts, etc.
5. Type your word for the year (or whatever project you’re focusing on), as well as the definition of the word in the space provided on both pages.
6. I’ve provided six areas for you to create goals inside your Vision Board Printable: “Health,” “Travel,” Finances,” “Career,” “Relationships,” and “Knowledge.” Edit these categories, or leave them as they are if you’re happy with them.
7. On the first page, you can either type your goals directly onto the template & print it (to print, save as a PDF and then select “print”), or you can print it blank & hand write your goals. This is my preferred method.
8. On the second page, drag & drop images inside each category to create a visual for your board. You can print this page too, but it will use up a lot of ink! I prefer to save it on my phone as a visual reminder throughout the year–feel free to share it on socials too, & don’t forget to tag me (@simplykristylynn).
9. That’s all! Keep your Vision Board Printable in a place where you can see it every day. I hope it inspires & reminds you of your word, your goals, & your vision for the future.

But the very real flip side to that conversation is saving money, right? And I do love a good insider tip on making the most out of my hard-earned cash… especially when it comes to traveling.

Because as much as I love the idea of seeing the world, traveling can just be so expensive. And the older I get, the more being “grounded” (not like in high school) bothers me.

• You see, our oldest daughter is in the Army (& stationed overseas).

• Our youngest daughter asked to visit NYC for her senior trip.

• And our three sons have never flown on a plane (yet).

• Did I mention that it’s been a heck of a while since Jeremy & I had the luxury of an anniversary trip?

So I knew I HAD to share this “secret” on how to travel for cheap–specifically, where to find cheap flights. (Because I know I’m not the only hard-working mama who has a “places to see” bucket list at least a mile long.) 

Girl, You’re GOING to Travel Cheap…

Now, this is really cheesy, but here we go:

The big “secret” I discovered to booking cheap flights is called Going. As in, “You’re going to love this.”

(I know… that’s why I warned you.)

Just in case you haven’t heard of it, Going is a travel service of sorts. You create an account, enter your location & desired destination, and Going does all the work in helping you find the most affordable flight options out there. 

I’ll admit, I was a little skeptical at first. But like I said, our family has some travel plans coming up, & I was already shopping around for cheap plane tickets.

Going has a pretty awesome 14-day free trial, so I decided, Why not?

And, wow, was I surprised!

On average, booking flights through Going saves you about $500 on international trips, & $200 on domestic flights.  

This is HUGE, especially if you’re traveling with a family (& a budget).

My personal cheapest flight so far?

Round-trip tickets from Dallas, Texas to Honolulu, Hawaii… for $325 per person (prior to taxes & fees).

And no, I’m not kidding.

Here’s a screenshot of the invoice…

Here’s how to travel for cheap on your next flight:

• Head over to Going.com & create an account 

• Enter your departure airport & desired destination

• Browse affordable flights & pick your favorite (you can book flights right away, or months in advance)

• Enjoy a 14-day FREE trial 

• Sign up with either the Premium or Elite subscription for incredible savings – pick from 1-year, 2-year, or 5-year plans 

Like I said, I was pretty skeptical. 

I mean, how much is a “flight service” going to cost me? Much less for five years? I was thinking hundreds, or even a thousand dollars. 

Listen to this: 

I have the Premium flight service, and do you know how much it cost me? 

$49. (And that was after my free 14-day trial.) 

No kidding – $49 for a twelve-month flight service. The savings on my first flight more than recouped that investment! And I’m locked in for a year of savings!

Get Started

You can get started for just $49 for the next 12 months– 

There’s no promo code needed to get this incredible savings. Sign up with Going right now & enjoy the money back in your pocket (& that 14-day free trial).

This mama is one happy traveler!

Should you proofread your own writing? Short answer YES.

Even if you have “spell check” on your laptop? Yes. Even if you have the Grammarly app? Yes. Even if you have autocorrect on your phone? Ummm, a million times yes.

Tips for Proofreading at a Glance:

• When to Proofread Your Own Writing

• When to Hire a Professional Proofreader

• 4 Easy Tips for Proofreading Your Own Work

When to Proofread Your Own Work

You should absolutely proofread what you write:

• BEFORE you hit “send” on that next email

• BEFORE you post that next blog article

• BEFORE you share that next Instagram reel or post

• BEFORE you send that next text, or throw any of your words into the world

When to HIRE a Professional Proofreader

If you’ve written an ebook, built a website, or created a digital product, proofreading your own writing is the first step. Not the last.

One of my best tips for proofreading? -> Always get another set of eyes on your work before you publish, sell, or market anything. (Yes, I’m a professional proofreader. Yes, you can hire me to proofread your stuff.)

But learning a few tips for proofreading your own work will save you time, money, & probably a bit of embarrassment (because you’ll catch typos before they go dancing into the world).

Another perk: Professional, compelling, concise copy will connect with & motivate your readers to take action (e.g., buy your stuff).

So here goes:

4 Easy Tips for Proofreading Your Own Work

Do the muscle work yourself – it’s worth it, I promise.

1) Read Your Copy Out Loud

This one step will level up your writing more than you can imagine! Copy can “sound” amazing when you read it inside your head. (I mean, you know exactly what you mean, right?)

But hearing what you wrote is quite another story — & more closely mirrors how your readers will consume it.

Read aloud your own copy, then tweak it like crazy.

2) Check Punctuation

Don’t overthink this. I’m not talking about properly placed semicolons, or figuring out if you need to use an em dash or an en dash. (That’s a pro proofreader or copy editor’s job.)

But make sure your sentences have an end mark – that would be a period, 99 percent of the time. (Unless you’re asking a question, then you know what to do.)

Bonus tip: always, always, always begin your sentences with a capital letter. (Thank you, I feel better already.)

Tips for Proofreading

3) Read the Writing Backwards

I know, this sounds weird. And it’s not going to make a lick of sense. But it’s a golden way to pick up on any misused, misspelled, missing, or duplicated words within your copy.

It’s kind of like zooming in & wriggling each & every bulb on a strand, trying to figure out which one is causing the short on your Christmas tree lights. (Remember those days?) If you want the proverbial lights to stay on when people read your copy, take the time to check each word.

Tips for Proofreading

4) Double Check for Tricky Word Errors

As a grammar nerd & proofreader, these are the copy boo boos I see the most.

Thankfully, they’re easy to fix & pretty easy to understand (so you don’t keep making them). Here are eight pairs (or sets) of commonly misused words in copy.

Your & You’re

Your is a possessive pronoun; it means something belongs to someone. Is this your house?

You’re is a combo of the words “you” & “are.” If you could also say “you are,” then use the “you’re” form. You’re kidding.

Their, There, & They’re

Their is also a possessive pronoun, only plural this time. Is that their house?

There means a location or position. (Easy hack: “there” has the word “here” inside it.) I can’t tell if you’re going here or there.

They’re is a combo of the words “they” & “are.” Use it anytime you could also say “they are.” I can’t tell if they’re going here or there.

Too & To

Too indicates something is excessive (use it if you could say “also”), or means “in addition to.” Are you going to the party, too? I’m not going; there will be too many people.

At the risk of sounding like the nerd that I am: To can be a preposition, infinitive marker, or adverb. Use the word “to” any time you’re not talking about “too” (as in too many). Are you going to the party, too?

Affect & Effect

This one is tricky! Effect is the change or result of another action. What kind of effect did that have on her kids?

Affect means to make a difference or have an effect on. Living in a foreign country as a child definitely affected me.

Read more on how to use “affect” & “effect.”

Cheep & Cheap

Cheep means a squeaky, shrill sound (or the act of making said sound). The baby bird’s cheeping kept me up all night!

Cheap means not expensive, or not of good quality. Please don’t buy any more cheap pens.

Grate & Great

Grate means to rub on a grater (e.g., grate the cheese), or to invoke an unpleasant emotion or reaction (e.g., grate on my nerves). Oddly enough, to be “grateful” means to appreciate something. I’m so grateful for this new electric grater.

Great means above average in quality, importance, or size. My great-grandma always says great things about Ivan the Great.

Hart & Heart

Hart is an often misspelled version of “heart.” It’s actually an old word that means “a male deer or stag.” As the hart pants for the water. Psalm 42:1

Heart is the organ that pumps blood throughout your body; also can refer to the central part of something, or to have courage or grit. The heart surgeon showed so much heart when she checked in with me six months post–surgery.

Herd & Heard

Herd is a large group of animals, or is used in reference to people or things all moving in the same direction. The cowboys had to herd the herd of cows along the Chisholm Trail.

Heard means to hear or be informed of. (Hint: has the word “hear” inside it.) Have you ever heard of herd immunity?

Speech & Speach

Speech means language, the ability to express thoughts or feelings, or a formal address. Her eloquent speech denotes her refined upbringing.

Speach is not a word, just a misspelling of “speech.” (Ooopsies.)

Think & Thank

Think means a thought process, belief, or to ponder something. Do you think you could take a look at my rough draft today?

Thank means to express gratitude for something. I think I’ll write those thank you cards this afternoon.

Tell me.

As a working stay-at-home-mom, I can tell you this:

It’s possible to spend a LOT of time & money on online courses that aren’t helpful in the long run. I’m here to share what has actually worked for me.

I can personally recommend all five of these courses & companies. However, I’m NOT suggesting that you take them all. I recommend starting with whichever one is most aligned with your niche & goals.

Haven’t found your niche yet?
Grab my “Story Brand Blueprint” mini guide & get started.

Top 5 Online Courses for Jobs to Work From Home

The online courses I’m recommending in this article are the real deal. They will require an investment of some time & money – but nothing compared to going back to school to learn skills! These courses all all self-paced, & several even offer testing & certifications.

Here’s a testimonial about one of the courses, Roadmap 3.0:

“like all of my college classes in one”

“Going through this course was like all of my college classes in one, I am so impressed with the amount of knowledge there is packed into it and how well everything is organized. Now, I feel like I have finally found something that I can not only do, but do well and on my own terms. Being a disabled veteran, I have restrictions and it can wear on your self-worth. This business course has opened up multiple business streams and ideas that I wouldn’t have had without going through it.”

Rachel

@my.life.edit_rachelt

My personal experience with this course was similar to Rachel’s – it felt like taking a comprehensive, but easy-to-digest, online college course.

This is an INVESTMENT in your future as a business-minded woman.

Drop me an email if you have questions about these online courses, or anything about working from home. I’m here to support you!

1) Roadmap 3.0

This is where I wish I had started!

Roadmap 3.0 is by far the most comprehensive online business course I’ve taken, with 28 self-paced modules, 230+ videos, resources like pre-built sales funnels, done-for-you templates, & more.

The major perk? This online course comes with 100% master resell rights, which means you’ll get a done-for-you course to turn around & resell under your own brand (at 100% profit), if you choose to do so.

Details:

Cost: $497 (one time investment)
Final Test: No
Certification: Yes (Roadmap Experience Certificate)

You don’t need an English degree to be a professional proofreader these days – you can earn a certification through General Proofreading: Theory & Practice.

I highly recommend this online course. Although I’m not a proofreader by trade, this course has helped me a lot as a copywriter & content creator.

Free mini course: Yes

I haven’t personally taken the Transcript Proofreading course, but it’s created by the same company as the General Proofreading course, which I have taken.

If working for a court reporter instead of hunting down grammatical errors is more your style, take a look at Transcript Proofreading: Theory & Practice. The tuiton for this online course is higher than the others, but so is the potential income.

Details:

Cost: $997 (one time investment)
Final Test: Yes
Certification: Yes
Free mini course: Yes

I love having access to affiliate platforms like Shop My or LTK, and I use them to link everyday lifestyle products like clean makeup, books, and gift guides.

But getting your LTK application approved can be tricky.

I recently had a few friends reach out & ask, “How did you get approved as an LTK creator? I keep getting declined!”

At first, I didn’t think I really had a good hack to share. I mean, I applied for LTK several years ago without even knowing what a big deal it was. I didn’t even learn how to use the platform until recently.

But I shared this one, simple tip – and my friend got approved, even after being previously declined. That’s when I knew I had to share this hack with you, too!

Below is my ONE tip for how to get approved as an LTK creator, even if you’ve tried before without success.

This may not work for everyone, & I’m not making any promises. But it’s simple to do & definitely worth a try!

Trying to Get Approved as an LTK Creator? Try This-

First off, STOP focusing on IG numbers. Because that isn’t it.

I know, I know. Everything you read about applying as an LTK creator stresses the importance of a strong social media presence, and a large, engaged following.

Getting declined can make you feel like your numbers (or your engagement, or your content) might be the missing ingredient.

But here’s what worked for me, & seems to work for other creatives with modest online followings.

Apply as a blogger.

That’s it.

Yes, you’ll need to have at least four months of content under your belt. And your online platforms need to look professional.

But it seems that LTK prefers a constant online presence, like a blog, listed as your primary platform. This seems to be as, or maybe even more, important than the size of your online following.

Try this hack: Include your social media accounts (IG, FB, etc) as your secondary or third platforms – not your primary.

Applying with a blog as a primary platform seems to be an easily overlooked, but golden key to cracking the code.

For all the bloggers out there, this is really good news!

What I Mean by “Apply as a Blogger”

Gabriela left a comment asking, “When you say apply as a blogger what do you mean exactly? How does it work?”

I created a quick (less than two minutes) video showing you how to apply as a blogger as an LTK creator:

Don’t have a blog but want to get started? Check out this FREE blogging mini course, by Sticky Blogging. Highly recommend!

Are there exceptions?

Yes, I’m sure there are. After all, I’m NOT an expert.

If you’re a brand new blogger, it might still take a while to get in. (LTK requires at least four months of content on your online platform.)

But I did get accepted on LTK the first time around, long before I decided to show up with a “creator” IG account. And I’m seeing others with modest-size blogs do the same.

And believe me . . . if I can do this, you definitely can!

Maybe I Can Help You

Want me to submit a referral to LTK on your behalf?

If so, I’d be honored & happy to.

Just send me your first & last name & email. I’ll submit a request to LTK to send you a creator invitation.

Who knows, you might just get “in” as an LTK creator this time around! (Just don’t forget to list your blog as your primary platform, if you’re a blog owner.)

The really fun news: If you get accepted, we both will get a $25 reward!

Above all, don’t stop trying.

If you’re wondering how to get started with LTK and grow your affiliate income as a creative introvert, I hope this guide gives you a solid next step.

If you’ve applied & been declined, apply again. (Or let me refer you, & see if that works any magic.)

Refusing to give up is THE most important key. Getting access to the LTK affiliate platform could be a game changer for you in 2025, so keep trying!

Let me know if you have questions or want me to refer you.

According to the Myers & Briggs Foundation, the INTJ personality type is:

• vision-oriented

• conceptual

• logical

• critical

• determined

• independent

And, I would add—highly perfectionistic and deeply introverted.

INTJs are often called “The Mastermind.” Or sometimes, “The Architect.”

A few famous INTJs?

Sir Isaac Newton. Stephen Hawking. Hillary Clinton.

(And for the fiction lovers: Gandalf, Jean Valjean, Mr. Darcy.)

Jane Austen is believed to have been one of us.

And “us”?We make up less than 1% of the population.

So if you’ve ever felt like a square peg in a round hole—especially in traditional spaces like the evangelical church—you’re not imagining it.

Discovering I was an INTJ more than a decade ago was like finding the missing piece of a puzzle. Suddenly, my worldview, my leadership style, and my need for solitude made perfect sense.

To this day, I’ve only ever met a few other INTJs in real life—all male. I’ve never met another INTJ female in person.

But online? I’ve met thousands of you.

And it’s no surprise… we’re all quietly Googling the same thing:

“Is anyone else out there like me?”

This list is for us.

Old Soul, Always Thinking

1. You’ve always felt like an old soul in a world obsessed with trends.

4. You think more than you speak—and that’s saying something.

5. You’ve never understood people who don’t think deeply, ever.

Teacher’s Pet (on Your Terms)

6. You might’ve been the teacher’s pet—if the teacher earned your respect.

7. You secretly love structure and rules… unless they make no sense. Then, in your mind, they’re void.

8. You’d rather die than sound uninformed.

9. You spot typos everywhere.

10. You’d rather write a thesis than make small talk.

Can You Just Text?

11. If you had a choice, you’d never talk on the phone again.

12. Your voicemail literally tells people to text you. And you mean it.

13. Too much “peopling” makes you feel physically ill—like your soul needs a nap.

14. You need regular alone time to recharge—or you spiral.

15. Hermit life? You can think of worse fates.

Emotionally Complex, Not Cold

16. People have called you “cold”… but you’re actually just guarded.

48. You value facts more than feelings—but your own gut? You trust that completely.

49. You don’t play the victim. Ever.

Sound Familiar?

So, are you still wondering if you’re really an INTJ female?

If you nodded through at least half this list—chances are, you’re home.

But let me know… which ones did you relate to the most? Or is there one I missed?
