Btw – you’re not less successful if you don’t do this.
Hey beloved,
At Coffee Chats and Yoga Mats, we talk a lot about weekly planning and self-reflection because they’re incredibly helpful for creating a more intentional, passionate, and purposeful life.
But… before I go further, I want you to know that this is not a guilt trip if you don’t currently journal daily or plan out your weeks to the smallest detail.*
👉 You are not less of a Christian or less “successful” if you don’t do any of these things. Simply embracing your identity as God’s can help you live intentionally with passion and purpose.
👉 You really don’t have to have a Pinterest-perfect sense of style, dream career, #goal-worthy marriage, trophy-earning parenting, or home design to be worthy of the calling you’ve received.
👉 Regular-ish journaling and weekly planning are just a few of the many tools you have available to help you better manage your time, give your energy to what you actually value, and create a life you love.

* P.S. Btw, I don’t plan out everything to the smallest detail – an exercise in failure, right? – or even journal every single day. And it’s still super helpful for me!

I’m Cortney, a recovering over-achiever and God’s beloved who loves helping fellow Christian women like you embrace your God-given gifts so you have the confidence to live authentically.
I’m also a full-time mama to two sweet little boys, wife to my best friend, motivational speaker, and part-time Christian life coach. Chai lattes, strong coffee, podcasts, yoga, dance, and fairy tales nourish my soul and add sweetness to life.
Discovering the joy of embracing my God-given gifts and who He created me to be was a game-changer—a journey that brought freedom, unexpected delights, and relief from guilt. Finally, I felt free to be myself and ditch the pressure of being someone I wasn’t.
Incorporating those gifts into my day—from weekly planning to deciding on commitments, nurturing my marriage, and parenting—transformed everything. Now, I can’t imagine life without the perspective of fully embracing who God created me to be. I was missing so much without it!
