This feels different now that we’re home 👀🏡
Sundays with Anna | Newsletter #43
Hey,
We’re back in Australia. 🇦🇺
Kids are back at school.
Lunchboxes are back.
The house is… weirdly quiet again.
And I’ve gone from taking calls in an RV (with snack requests every 12 minutes in the background) to sitting at an actual desk, like a normal person.
Big shift. 😅
I loved our time on the road.
It was flexible, unpredictable, a little chaotic, but in that “this is exactly what we wanted to build” kind of way.
We could move, explore, work, pause… repeat.
But coming home has reminded me of something I didn’t expect to miss:
Routine.
Not the boring version.
The supportive version.
The kind where you don’t have to think about every tiny decision because life already has a bit of structure holding it together.
Where mornings have a rhythm.
Work has a place.
And your brain isn’t constantly switching between “where are we” and “what’s next.”
It’s not as exciting on paper.
But it makes everything feel easier.
And I’ve been thinking about how much this applies to business, too.
Because we all say we want freedom (same).
Flexible schedules.
More space.
More options.
But freedom without any kind of structure?
It can get messy fast.
You’re making every decision from scratch.
Reacting more than leading.
Always slightly “on.”
The best version of freedom I’ve experienced, both on that trip and now back home, is the kind that has support underneath it.
A bit of rhythm.
A bit of predictability.
A few things that just work.
So you’re not holding everything in your head all the time.
Anyway, that’s what’s been on my mind this week as we settle back in.
Not choosing between freedom and routine.
But realising they’re actually better together.
Big love,
Anna x
