Three years. Three lessons. One cup at a time.
Hit play — maybe you’ll hear something your younger self needs too.

3️⃣ years. Hundreds of gallons of milk steamed. And a few secrets I wish I could pour back into my younger self’s cup.

Hit play to hear them — maybe they’ll help you too.

Couldn’t fit this all in one post, so here it is — a reminder I keep coming back to lately: Do it scared. Maybe it’ll hit you where you need it too.

Behind every cup of coffee is a story waiting to be shared.

Owning Eden Café has shown me that the best thing we serve isn’t what’s in the cup — it’s the space for ideas, dreams, and encouragement to grow.

If you’ve got an idea brewing… consider this your sign. 🌱

Three years of coffee, conversation, and community — and we’re just getting started. ☕✨

Prioritizing projects is hard… or am I doing it wrong?

Some tasks aren’t urgent but could make everything smoother long-term. Others demand attention now but don’t move the needle.

How do you decide—quick wins, long-term impact, or immediate fires?

Would love to hear your take!

“Right place, right time.” Sometimes life lines up in ways we don’t expect. Sharing a moment from the café today that reminded me of how unexpected timing can lead to something meaningful. ⬇️

What’s distracting you from what really matters?

Lent is about more than giving something up—it’s about realignment.

The next 40 days are a chance to clear space for what truly matters.

What’s one distraction you’re ready to release?

Character limit? Never heard of it. Sometimes you need more than 280 to see the bigger picture.

Are you focused on what’s right in front of you, or are you looking ahead?

What if we were completely, deeply abandoned to what matters most?

Not abandoned as in left behind, but all-in—no hesitation, no second-guessing.

When you know this is it, you don’t wait for permission. You just move.

What’s worth going all-in for, no matter who’s watching?

Life loves a Draw 4.

Just when momentum is rolling, strategy is tight, and everything clicks—boom. Setback.

I believe God moves even when I don’t see it, but man, it’s frustrating when plans shift out of nowhere.

Ever had life hit you with a Draw 4? How did you handle it?

A key insight from Diary of a CEO today: The best businesses don’t just create—they listen.

📝Survey customers, understand their needs, and sell the idea before building the product.

Are you creating what they want or what you think they need?

Had a great convo at the café yesterday.

She shared how her life experiences—both good and hard—led her to a passion for helping others find housing. It hit me: so often, our struggles shape our purpose.

Ever had a moment where you realized that’s why I went through all that?
