FOMO is just a fancy form of fear!
It whispers: “Everyone else is doing something better.”
But the truth? You’re already enough. Right where you are.

You don’t need to scroll more.
You need to reconnect with what matters.

My latest blog on FOMO breaks it all down, plus 5 ways to use social media without losing your peace.

As we celebrate this great nation’s birthday, I’m reminded that America has always been a work in progress—fueled by the courage of those willing to build, rebuild, and keep moving forward through uncertain times.

Today, that spirit matters more than ever.

It’s easy to get discouraged by what divides us, but I still believe in what unites us: faith, family, freedom, and the fierce hope that tomorrow can be better than today if we all do our part.

So as you gather with loved ones, light the grill, and maybe even a few fireworks—be safe, be grateful, and don’t forget how lucky we are to live in a country where leadership begins with you.

God bless you, and God bless America.
