How to want more without feeling guilty for new moms: honest answers for Lafayette

Lafayette, CO · between grateful and growing

There's a story Lafayette tells about itself — successful, settled, safe. This page is about the sentence after the period.

And this is Lafayette: a Denver-area community of strivers and settlers — very often the same person, on the same Tuesday And it's why this page refuses to talk to you like a stock photo.

🎧 A note for Lafayette readers (spoken version)

“What if the life you're thankful for is also the life you've quietly stopped growing inside?” — There Is a Fine Line Between Gratefulness and Complacency

Three questions Lafayette readers dodge

What would you try if nobody would ever find out if you failed?
When did you last do something you weren't already good at?
What did you stop wanting — and was it a decision or a drift?

Steal 90 minutes back

Block ninety minutes this week labeled 'the thing I keep not doing.' Treat it like a dentist appointment — immovable.
Show up with the smallest possible version of the thing (one page, one call, one sketch). Momentum is the actual deliverable.

None of this means your life is broken. It means it's ready. Gratitude was never supposed to be the finish line — it's the fuel.

The book's third path

There Is a Fine Line Between Gratefulness and Complacency refuses the two usual endings — get rich or get zen. Instead it argues for a third: keep your gratitude, keep your nerve, and let the two raise each other.

The questions that follow — Lafayette edition

Is it good for a book club? Very — discussion questions come with it, and the 'where have you confused gratitude with settling?' prompt alone powers an hour.

Is it preachy? No. It shares observations and stories more than instructions — and it openly rejects hustle-culture preaching along the way.
