    How to create a life you don't want to escape from

    What if the goal isn’t to escape your life… but to actually like being in it? In this episode, I’m sharing what this current season looks like for me—navigating uncertainty, rising costs, and a summer that’s not centered around travel—and how I’m shifting my focus back to home. We talk about why so many of us feel the urge to escape, what it looks like to create a life that feels good to live in, and small, practical ways to make your everyday environment more supportive. This is a real-life, in-the-middle conversation about slowing down, simplifying, and starting where you are. Watch the video version here on YouTube.

    Why everything feels like too much

    Lately, life has felt like a lot… and I’ve been sitting with the why. In this episode, I’m talking about capacity, maintenance, and the part no one really prepares us for — that most of life isn’t about building something new, it’s about maintaining what we already have. We’ll get into why everything can start to feel heavy, how we quietly exceed our capacity, and the difference between managing your life and actually living it. If you’ve been feeling stretched thin or like you’re just keeping things running, this one’s for you. What we talk about: * Why life starts to feel like “too much” * The reality of maintenance (and why no one talks about it) * How we unknowingly exceed our capacity * The difference between managing your life vs living it * Rethinking how much you’re holding A gentle reminder: You don’t need to do more. You might just need less to maintain.

    I'm done doing everything.

    I’ve been busy. Really busy. Posting, planning, restructuring, rethinking… and quietly wondering why I still felt scattered. This episode is less of an announcement and more of a personal reckoning. A recognition that I’ve been spreading myself thin — across platforms, ideas, expectations — and calling it progress. If this year is going to mean anything, I want it to mean choosing. Choosing focus. Choosing depth. Choosing what actually fits the life I’m living right now. This isn’t about doing more. It’s about choosing better. If you’ve been busy but not moving… this episode is for you. Reflection Questions * Where in your life are you spreading yourself thin? * Are you mistaking motion for momentum? * What would change if you chose one clear direction this year? * What are you ready to let go of? Season 5 of Cozy Notes is a monthly diary… more intentional, more focused, and sharing what cozy living really means. Thanks for being here. xo, Xuan This is a public episode.
