🌿OMG I walked straight into the men’s locker room

November 12, 2025

No joke...yesterday I really did that. 😳

In my defense, our gym has been doing a ton of renovations, swapping the men’s and women’s locker rooms for weeks. Finally, last Friday, we were “back to normal” — or so I thought.

Well, yesterday I obviously didn’t read the email or notice the extremely LARGE sign propped up on an easel that said… MEN’S LOCKER ROOM HERE… and I proceeded full steam ahead.

Head down, scrolling through my phone, totally distracted — and straight into the men’s locker room!

Thank goodness I didn’t get too far before a very kind man waved me down and said, laughing, “Uh… I think you’re in the wrong one.”

Cue my OMG I’m so sorry!! moment as I turned bright red and bolted toward the correct locker room.

I was beyond embarrassed — part of me wanted to hide in there for the rest of the day!

Later, I laughed at myself — but then it hit me how often we move through life the same way, especially when it comes to money.

We go through the motions — paying bills, saving a little, avoiding what feels uncomfortable — until something jolts us awake and we realize we might be heading in the wrong direction.

So I created the “Financial Wellness Kickstart Guide.”

It’s designed to help you reflect on your relationship with money, set meaningful goals, and take small, intentional steps toward clarity and control.

Please let me know — was it helpful? Should I add anything?

In the meantime, here’s to more mindful moments, fewer wrong turns, and a little more grace with ourselves along the way.

Happy Wednesday! 🌿
