Type B Energy & Packing My Eggs on the Edge

 

Because living boldly doesn’t always look the way you think.

There was a time when “living on the edge” meant something wild—late nights, dance floors, cryptic texts. These days? My version looks more like packing my eggs on the lower shelf of the grocery cart or letting my gas tank drift past E.

And honestly… I’m here for it.


From Type A to At Ease

For most of my life, I’ve been the classic Type A: driven, organized (in my own way), and happiest with a to-do list in hand. But somewhere between motherhood, business, and self-growth, that energy softened.

I still love a plan. But I’ve also learned the power of flexibility, intuition, and trusting that everything doesn’t have to be perfect to be working out.

Type B energy, calm, creative, adaptable, gets unfairly labeled as “lazy.” But maybe it’s the secret to longevity, peace, and joy.

Maybe it’s the evolution we’re meant for.


Learning the Rules Before You Break Them

In Pilates, in business, and in life, I’ve learned the importance of foundation. The “rules” are there to teach us alignment, balance, and safety. But once you understand why they matter, you earn the freedom to bend them.

That’s where individuality and intuition step in.

The goal isn’t to reject structure, it’s to trust yourself enough to remix it.


The Beautiful Blend

As we grow, it makes sense to evolve from structure and hustle toward flow and trust. Both energies have their place. The magic is in letting yourself move between them.

Because living on the edge doesn’t always mean danger, it can mean daring to define your own way, even when it looks ordinary from the outside.

Maybe the real thrill isn’t in breaking the rules but in realizing you’ve earned the right to rewrite them.

So here’s to Type B energy, low-gas tanks, late bedtimes, and the freedom to evolve again and again into your most abundant, beautiful life.
