What if love in your life doesn’t mean loving every single moment, but learning how to meet all of your moments with love and appreciation? Not just the highlight reel ones. Not just the ones that look impressive on Instagram. But the quiet ones. The messy ones. The ordinary ones that don’t get shared, but that shape the ones that do.

We’ve been sold this idea that a life worth loving has to be big and bold and driven by grandiose goals. That it has to be a life where every hour is filled with magical moments and anything less than that, and you are failing the mission.

Now, there’s nothing at all wrong with living a big, bold, and grandiose life filled with more magical moments than not. I personally challenge myself to be bigger and bolder because I want to see just what is possible in my lifetime.

But when it comes to creating and living a life you love, the truth is this. Living a grandiose life does not guarantee happiness and nothing but magical moments. Ask me how I know.

And you don’t need to nail big bold goals in order to create a life you wildly love. In fact, if that’s where your only focus is, you are missing the greater opportunity. And the women who feel like they’re failing at creating a life they love are often the ones doing life in a way that’s actually worth loving. They just don’t think it counts.

What I know for sure is this. If you think your dreams aren’t flashy enough, if your Sunday cookie baking seems less than exciting compared to someone else’s Bali retreat, if you think your moments of joy don’t look all that impressive—if it feels true to you, my friend, you are not failing. You are right on track. Because saying YES! to a life you love is about finding your kind of magic in all of your one moments.

It doesn’t mean wildly loving every single moment, by the way. But it means creating a life where even the moments you don’t love, the ones that are not particularly exciting, maybe even challenging, they still feel like part of something meaningful, nurturing, and true to you.

Let’s talk about that kind of life today. The one that’s real, not just reel worthy.

Welcome to The Self-Creation School podcast, for women who are ready to ditch mediocrity, step up and get more of what they want, and finally say YES! to a life that sets their soul on fire. I’m your host Leanne Letica, Self-Creation Coach, founder of The Self-Creation School AND Queen of YES!. If you’re ready to play life by your own personal rule book, and give yourself permission to say YES! to yourself and your wildest dreams, this podcast is the place for you.

Well, hello and thanks so much for tuning in. I love having your company, and I love recording this podcast every week for you. As much as it challenges me some weeks, like this week. Because right now I am feeling less than wonderful.

I’ve actually been fighting a head cold on and off for quite a few weeks now. And yesterday it sent me crawling back to bed, which is exactly where I might be heading again today. I certainly don’t feel like I’m firing on all cylinders at the moment. Yet, I can honestly say that I still love my life, even in this moment. Not because I am in some state of denial. Not because I’ve found a way to make being sick feel magical.

But because I’ve learned to love how I show up for myself, even in the less than wonderful moments. Like running a hot bath and letting it all slow down. Like giving myself permission to call back into bed for three hours on a Sunday afternoon. Like choosing to nourish myself instead of simply pushing through. And refusing to feel guilty for not doing the things that I plan to get done.

This version of loving my life certainly isn’t glamorous, but it’s real and it’s exposing because it tells me so much about my relationship with myself and how I matter to me. How I show up for me in all of the moments. How I show up when everything glamorous and highlight worthy is stripped away, and it’s just me getting through the hours of my day, feeling a little less than.

And I think that’s what so many women are craving. Not just the moments that sparkle in the highlight reels. But the kind of life where you feel truly anchored in yourself no matter what’s going on around you and no matter how you might be feeling emotionally or physically. Which let’s be honest, can already be a bit of a rollercoaster in midlife, even without the extra layer of being sick.

So today, I felt called to explore with you what it really means to say YES! to a life you love. One that makes room for the quiet, the messy, and the simple joys that matter more than we sometimes realize.

I am admittedly a workaholic. I love what I do. I love that I get to do what I do. And I am very ambitious about what I want to achieve in my business and the difference I want to make in women’s lives. Because of that, I am very seldom idle.

My mind is always usually on. I think that’s also part of being a creative kind of person. I’m always dreaming up new ideas or new way of doing things. And I’m very much that person with 2,564 tabs open all at once in my mind. And maybe sometimes it’s almost as many open in my browser.

Despite that, I am also very grounded and methodical. So it’s an interesting combination. But my point is when I’m not traveling, which is one of my very big loves in life, I’m usually in my happy place when I’m working, when I’m creating, and when I’m coaching.

And so in moments like these, when I’m forced to take pause, when I’m forced to slow down to quieten the mind and step away from my desk and rest, it always turns out to be a really beautiful thing. Because it gives me space to be reminded of how my life is filled with so many simple little things that I really do appreciate. Things that as a whole, they make my everyday feel very blessed, but that I don’t always stop to acknowledge their individual impact.

I’m talking about things like having fresh orchids in my home, which I truly love. Having beautiful candles to burn and a bathtub to soak in. Having curated spaces in my home that feel like an extension of me and my husband and our lifetime together. Spaces set are filled with moments of time captured in things like paintings and artwork collected on our travels that take me back to those treasured moments in an instant.

Having an uncluttered home. Drinking my soothing lemon and honey tea from a gorgeous tea cup gifted to me from an equally gorgeous friend. Curling up and enjoying the mountain view outside my window and reflecting on how it all came to be.

I’m also reminded in these quiet moments of how I can take time out to nurture myself. How I can be flexible enough in my work to snuggle up and rest. And how I no longer feel guilty for taking time out. How far I’ve come in loving and appreciating myself, and respecting my wellbeing. And listen, I could go on.

It’s an amazing feeling to be reminded of just how abundant your life really is on so many levels, big and small. And how each on their own, they don’t always seem all that significant, but when you put them all together, it makes for a life you love waking up to. Even when you wake up to the days that feel a little hard. How they make for a life where there’s always something to appreciate and love if you take the time to look for it.

And so, what I want to offer you today is five questions that will help you take pause, consider what it means to you to live moments you love, and how your life already has so much to offer that maybe, you’re not taking the time to appreciate in your quest for those bigger, bolder goals, or simply in the busyness of doing life.

So, let’s dive in before my voice gives way. The first question is this. Where do I find myself feeling like I’m failing at loving my life? Where do I find myself feeling like I’m failing at loving my life?

Is it when your days feel too quiet, too small, too ordinary? Is it when you wonder if what lights you up is enough to count? Is it when your goals don’t seem big enough? Or your lifestyle doesn’t look bold or exciting enough to match what you see others doing online?

There’s nothing wrong with dreaming big or creating extraordinary life experiences, don’t get me wrong. But sometimes when life is slower or simpler, it can feel like you are not allowed to love it, like it’s not valid or valuable enough to count.

So, this is a question that gently exposes comparison and shoulds in all of their glory. It exposes the stories you’ve picked up about what a “good life” is supposed to look like. And it invites you to consider what a good life actually looks and feels like to you. So where do I find myself feeling like I’m failing at loving my life?

Now the second question is, what are the moments where I actually do feel in love with my life?

Let yourself think about this honestly. No judgment. No holding yourself to the ideals you think are fit for purpose. No discounting the small moments because they don’t seem significant. The moments that you truly love are very often not the moments that get posted or praised or even ever mentioned. They’re the soft moments, the still ones, the micro moments, the things that make you exhale and feel a sense of calm and peace.

It could be that first sip of your favorite coffee in the morning. The quiet after everyone’s gone to bed. A meaningful text. A laugh with someone who gets you. Maybe it’s the way the sunlight hits your kitchen bench at a certain time of day. Or a moment when you are walking through your home and you feel an unexpected sense of joy at what you’ve created.

These are the moments we often skip over, but these are the ones that stack up and build a life that feels like love. And these are the ones that help keep you grounded in a life you love even when everything feels unsure or maybe like me, you are not feeling your best.

And while there are going to be the big moments that bring you a whole lot of joy and happiness and that really do add to living a life you love—for me moving country was one of those moments—it’s the small things that often stay the most constant. The things that are there if you look for them, no matter whether you are pulling off the bigger things or not.

So acknowledge both the big and the small moments that make you feel in love with your life. But I really challenge you to think of the small moments. Because an abundance of moments you love is probably not going to be found in the loud and proud moments only. But in the moments that feel meaningful to you without anyone even needing to know. And when you start seeing them clearly and in their abundance, you just might realize you are already living more of a life you love than you think.

The third question I have for you is actually inspired by a good friend and a conversation we had just this past weekend. Our conversations always expand me, and I love so much that we have become such great friends. And a shout out to her because she listens in every single week, so I know she’s listening in to this right now. I am very grateful for your unwavering support and for how you see so much more in me than I can see for myself.

Now, her word of the year is delight. And while it potentially sounds like a surface-level word, it’s actually a really challenging word to embody because the reality of life is that it isn’t a bed of roses. There are going to be moments in your everyday that are not particularly delightful. There were going to be seasons in your life that are not particularly delightful.

And so, I knew that fully embodying delight this year was really going to ask her to dig deep on firstly what delight means in those everyday mundane moments, and it was going to call her to look for delight in her challenges and her messy moments. It was going to call on her to embrace those moments with a sense of delight because she trusted they would eventually lead her to greater moments of delight.

So, the third question I have for you to reflect on is very much inspired by her word of the year and our conversation this past weekend. And the question is this. What simple delights are already present in this season of my life, even in the middle of the messy parts?

This isn’t about pretending everything is okay when it’s not. It’s not about gratitude as a bypass for everything that’s going on and everything that you’re feeling and experiencing. But it’s about noticing what’s still here, even if it’s subtle, even if it’s quiet, and holding gratitude for it.

Remember, not everything has to be going perfectly for something beautiful to still exist. Sometimes the most delightful thing is knowing that you can handle whatever comes your way.

Delight doesn’t always arrive as a celebration. Like I said, sometimes it’s found in the quiet moments. Sometimes it’s found in the moments when we nourish ourselves. The moments when we give ourselves space and remove the pressure to perform or live up to anything or anyone other than who we are in this moment. And often it’s easily overlooked and it’s very easily missed.

So, this question asks you to notice the things you can delight in, even when on the surface life doesn’t seem all that delightful. Because these are the things that remind you life might be happening, but it’s still offering you something to love. It’s still offering you beauty in the messy, the mundane, or the mayhem moments.

Moving on and the fourth question is, how do I treat myself when things aren’t going well?

This one matters. Because how you love your life includes how you love yourself, not just when things are going right for you, but when you are smack bang in the middle of the hard days.

Do you give yourself the same care you’d offer to someone you love? Or do you rush past your needs? Do you collapse into guilt or frustration? Do you judge, criticize, beat up on yourself? Or do you celebrate yourself with love and appreciation for showing up and doing the hard things? Do you adjust and allow, or do you push and punish?

How you show up for yourself in the harder moments is a powerful reflection of your self-love. Not conditional self-love tied to performance. Not the kind that shows up when everything’s going well. But the quiet, nourishing kind that says, even now, I’m still worthy of care. I’m still worthy of showing up for myself and showing myself love and appreciation.

And how you love and appreciate yourself sets a tone for how others love and appreciate you, and for how your world gives you more to love and appreciate. So if you want to fill your life with love, joy, and happiness, it starts with treating yourself with love. Celebrating yourself with joy and appreciation. And finding happiness within yourself, whether it’s sunshine and roses or messy moments.

Which brings me to the fifth and final question I have for you today. When I let go of what it’s supposed to be, what does a life I love actually look and feel like to me?

Not what it looks like in someone else’s feed. Not what it should be based on your age, your past, your job title, or your relationship status. Not what it needs to be to impress anyone or meet some invisible benchmark. But what it looks like for you. What it feels like in your body.

What space are you in? What pace do you keep? What energy do you embody? What matters to you? What moments make you feel proud, present, alive, at peace, whatever it is you desire to feel?

This question is an invitation, maybe even a permission slip, to stop measuring your life against other people’s definition of success, happiness, or worth, and to start honoring your own. Because the truth is you get to decide what a life you love looks like. And when you’re brave enough to define that for yourself and start showing up for that version of your life, you stop chasing someone else’s dream and you start living your own.

And my guess is that some of the things that come up for you in this question are the very same things you’ve already got going on. But you’ve been discounting them. You perhaps haven’t noticed them. Or maybe you just haven’t paid them enough due.

So, what does the life I actually love, look and feel like to me, when I let go of what it’s supposed to be?

My friend, it’s easy to throw everything out the door when something doesn’t go to plan, when you have a messy moment, when the not so elegant things like head colds, take over your day. When you feel like nothing is going right in your life, it’s hard to feel in love with your life. But life is not about perfect moments, and you can love your life in the far from perfect moments as much as you do when you’re on a winning streak.

You can love the messy moments. There are always things to be grateful for, things to find joy in, to take comfort from if you seek them out. If you make space for both the big and the small moments to count towards a life you love.

With that said, I’m off to create some space in my day to catch some rest and allow my body to recharge itself. I’m very impressed my voice has held out for you as long as it has.

I hope you found this conversation thought provoking. I will probably look back on it when my head is clearer and think of a million things I could have shared with you. But what I trust is that there is something in this conversation that helps you say YES! to living a life you love. Not someday, not one day when, but in the moments that make up your day today.

I’ll see you next Wednesday, same time, same place for another conversation about living a life you wildly love.

I hope you found this conversation thought provoking. I will probably look back on it when my head is clearer and think of a million things I could have shared with you. But what I trust is that there is something in this conversation that helps you say YES! to living a life you love. Not someday, not one day when, but in the moments that make up your day today.

I’ll see you next Wednesday, same time, same place for another conversation about living a life you wildly love.

Until then, be the woman who says YES!
