    What was meant to be part of a typical morning routine turned into a gratitude wake-up call. A single line from Ed Mylett hit different
 and in that instant, Kevin was no longer thinking about his to-do list or chasing his next big goal. Instead, he was overcome with deep awareness for the now—the quiet hum of the ceiling fan, the comfort of home, and the soft snore of his little dog, Sophia.

    This isn’t a message about slowing down forever—it’s a reminder that even as you chase growth, you can press pause long enough to realize you might already be living the life you once prayed for.

    Trump's Tariff Strategy

    Kevin Lowe breaks down the concept of tariffs—not in a political way, but as a powerful metaphor for self-worth. If you're constantly over-giving and under-receiving, it’s time to set boundaries that demand fairness in every aspect of your life.

    Through a relatable childhood lunchbox trade analogy, Kevin makes it crystal clear why you need to stop giving away your energy for free. Whether it's work, friendships, or relationships, you’ll learn how to recognize your value and set the “tariffs” needed to protect it.

    Some Key Takeaways:How to identify if you're undervaluing yourselfWhy setting boundaries is essential (and how to do it confidently)A simple 3-step action plan to start getting the respect and pay you deserve

    Your Challenge:

    Pick one area of your life where you feel undervalued. Set one new boundary today. Stand firm. Watch how people start respecting you more.
