Ready. Set. Grow! with Sybil Amuti

Hey friend, I feel so blessed to write you from the safety of my home, my kids in school, and my family in good health. The past week's events have made us all count our blessings and hold them dear. I'm counting you in as one of my many blessings. Thank you, to each of you, for texting, calling, emailing, DMing, sending social posts, replying to emails, or whatever gesture of love you've sent my way and to the city of Los Angeles. I/we feel so blessed to have you in our corner. The recovery...

Hey friend, 99% of emails are sent to you with a ton of love, zest, and enthusiasm because that's typically how I approach life. However, this week of living in LA has me at an all-time low. My family is safe but I am not okay. I can't unsee what I've seen this week nor can I unhear the stories of community members and friends who suffered extreme loss. I wish I could wipe away all of the pain of this week, but it is forever etched into my heart and mind. The collective road to recovery for...

Hey friend hey! It's your favorite holiday CHEERleader here! Whether you're prepping for a great dinner with friends and family, planting gifts under the tree, or spending the day solo in a new tradition, I am here to say I love you and this Christmas is dedicated to YOU! Since 2020, I've struggled with the Christmas season. Prior to my father's passing that year, my traditions were wrapped into his love for the season. My father was like Santa to me, because he loved everything about...

Hey hey hey! I did my heart a favor and rested with friends last weekend. My weekend was amazing (see here)! I went to the desert, enjoyed nature, ate great food, laughed hard, and created memories that remind me to prioritize healthy relationships first. 🫶🏽 What does that mean? It means that many relationships may require time and attention but I get to prioritize them according to my needs and not the expectations of others! Friend, lots of people want to be number 1 in your life, but...

Hey friend, hey! I've got a secret that might make your holiday season much sweeter! Are you ready? Here it is: you're in control of your boundaries and your peace. Now, I know that feels like a small secret at first glance, but read this entire email because all the deets come together and make great sense! Historically, the holidays have meant time with family, reconnecting with old friends, and making memories at the close of the year. For some, it's also meant triggering questions from...

Hey friend hey! Not to get all in your business but....I do need to get in your business just a bit! Let’s talk about rejection. That sting. That gut-punch. That “What’s wrong with me?” moment. Whether it’s a job you didn’t land, a relationship that ended, or an opportunity you were so sure was yours, rejection can feel like a personal attack. But here’s the truth: rejection isn’t personal—it’s purposeful. It’s not about what you’re lacking but about what’s aligning. Rejection often plays a...

Hey hey hey! December is already blowing my mind! In less than 3 weeks, we'll enter a new year. 😳 I'm so excited about 2025, particularly because I feel like I'm in the middle of open doors that were shut for quite some time. I threw MANY irons in the fire this year and I can see the hard work paying off. Lastly, I will say that watching Sam and Dylan work hard at school and sports has inspired me to go just a little harder when I felt like quitting. Seeing my son bet on himself and leave one...

Hey, Friend Hey! This week, I learned a big lesson: uncomfortable questions often lead to uncomfortable answers that breed essential growth. Let me say that again for the people in the back: Uncomfortable questions often lead to uncomfortable answers that breed essential growth. Earlier this week, I sent out a newsletter encouraging you to call a friend and ask, “What do you find most valuable about our relationship?”Well, I decided to take my advice. Here’s how it went: Me: “Friend, what do...

Hey friend hey! Happy December to you! The last couple of weeks have been incredibly pleasure-filled for me. Here are a few personal and professional “Yeah Syb!” moments that took place: I was honored to host “Laugh Cry Heal LA” - an emotional and spiritual safe space curated by Grammy award-winning artist, author, and TV personality Erica Campbell. It was so good! I got my hosting agent! I set a goal to get an agent in place by the end of October and on October 31st, I signed with an agency...
