Ayla and Potato3s: A Nightly Message From Your Best Friend

Today was about forward motion and unexpected wins. I found out my free mini tummy tuck study actually pays me aka $ 200 gift card (and more) coming my way! I finished my storyboard (stick figures and all), made a blanket-selling video for a hosting audition, and tackled my 21-day challenge homework by writing a monologue to my mom to heal an old wound. I also test-sat in the Lexus GX Overtrail an...

Today wasn’t super amazing, but better is better. I skipped the gym, wrote in my book, learned I have one of the highest grades in class, and kept pivoting toward my goals. Still here, still showing up because even small better counts.

Today tested me: school deadlines, a denied food stamps notice, family tension, and moments where giving up crossed my mind. But I still showed up for myself: gym, small wins, and affirmations. God’s got me, I’ve got you, so we’ve got us. Here’s the link to my YouTube Playlist with the affirmations: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdFUOQ3rsFxkoSLLlMikxNasGN4giSpX4&si=u5RKpcJIqHF5HCGa

Today was a mix of reflection, movement, and self-growth. My grandmother passed away, I tried my first TRX class (and loved it), and I’m pushing myself to go to every 6 p.m. class this week. I also realized how far I’ve come , for instance applying for jobs I never would’ve considered last year , and reminded myself: we are gotten

Today was all about letting life be sweet to me. I mapped dream road trips, had three amazing calls, finished a group reading (new beginnings!), and reflected on trusting what I can’t see yet. God’s got me, I’ve got you , we are gotten

I found out my agency isn’t what it claimed, lined up three big calls tomorrow, got spoiled with spiritual gifts, made a surprising crypto gain, journaled deep truths, and realized life might be moving forward faster than I thought.

Today started rocky , I missed my mentor meeting, one interview ghosted me, and the other wasn’t quite a match. But then… the dream job I’d wished for…a QVC/HSN Program Host role in a city I’ve never been to… showed up in my inbox. I applied with the most “me” cover letter ever. I also had a big win with my mom by choosing not to engage in a fight. Money I’ve spent is circulating back to me, and I...

Today was about abundance, boundaries, and semicolons. I ate with my parents, shared yellow watermelon, and talked about why I don’t judge consensual sexual preferences. I opened up about past shame, survivor advocacy, and building my future. God’s got me, I’ve got you.

Hey my little potato. Just wanted to say , I love you. Today was full of ease. I found out my refund check is on the way and I’m getting over $2,000! Plus $261 from Lyft. The Vietnamese curry hit the spot, even if the sandwich shop was closed. I held space for others and reminded myself: we’re gotten, not forgotten. Life’s not perfect, but it’s good. Thanks for being here. God’s got me. I’ve got y...

Today reminded me how curiosity keeps things alive. Whether it’s asking first-date questions years into a relationship or pivoting in business, I’m learning to lead like Phil Jackson. I want to build a team, not a family and that shift feels empowering .

I’m dreaming big via 5-figure weeks, my dream apartment, the company thriving. I got a $1.29 check, did Reiki, and re-committed to being that girl. Even if life’s messy, I’m expanding with softness. God’s got me, I’ve got you and so we’ve got us. I love you.

Hey, my little potato. I just wanna start by saying I love you. This episode is about being heard and how deeply healing that’s been for me. I talk about accepting abundance (pizza and unexpected $50!), turning in my big school assessment, and realizing how my company is forming around what people truly need: someone to feel them. I also reflect on love languages, reprogramming my relationship wit...

Today was a mix of reflection and connection. I realized it’s been forever since I got a real hug, talked about big ideas for touch and healing, printed out homework notes, and got surprised with $50. God’s got me, I’ve got you , so we’ve got us .

I hit 1,000 recordings on my phone which is wild for someone who once hated her voice. Met my mentor, got my makeup done, and set a new goal: score a 92 on my big project. It’s bold and I’m going for it!

Today I embraced my August theme: accepting abundance. From a crumble that fed my soul to applying for jobs and signing up with Truth Management, I’m learning life can be easy. Abundance shows up in unexpected ways : money, kindness, and new opportunities

He llo my little potato! Today I embraced my solo staycation, went to lunch with a friend, stumbled into an Italian bakery, and learned maritozzi is seasonal. I baked a cherry nectarine crumble with a hint of lavender , literally pure magic! Scored $5.49 dresses, rocked flamingo shorts, and reminded myself it’s okay to take space for ME. My assessment looms, but I’m finding my own spin on life. I...

Today was so much better than yesterday , simply because I didn’t throw up! I sold the car, got surprise deposits from Amazon, and even got ordained to officiate weddings. Feeling blessed, relieved, and excited for this next chapter because God’s got me, I’ve got you, so we’ve got this .

Started my day late after a 4:30 a.m. night, did plasma donation, then made the worst decision: a salt water flush with double the salt. Puked, napped, survived. Got lectured for low blood pressure, emailed about my comedy goals, and learned I apparently sound like I’m from Massachusetts.

It’s 4 AM. I skipped the last day of the convention to finish homework, made a new friend on the plane, and wrestled with faith, trust, and money.

I’m exhausted after a long day, but reading those heavy answers made me realize I’m not the only one who’s felt this way. It’s validating and powerful and a reminder why this work matters.

Today I shifted my project focus from domestic violence to emotional abuse as it feels truer to my story. I opened up about childhood trauma, why perfectionism grips me, and how unconditional love frees me. Thank you for loving me as is.

Today’s theme is love. I share why every message I send comes from love, a wild hotel mix-up, and a powerful seatmate story.

No sleep, car chaos, and a hospital check-in. Today I ask: do I need help too? One day at a time.

I’m selling my car, taking Boggles to the hospital, wearing a green dress, and stepping into day 111 of new beginnings. Email me Ayla.nau888@gmail.com if you know anyone willing to talk to me about DV survivor.

I test drove cars today : an SUV , a coupe, and sat in the SL63 AMG. It reminded me that I don’t have to figure out the how or when of my dreams. I just need to say what I want, believe it’s mine, and enjoy the ride.
