Day 15: Building a Legacy That Matters

July 18, 2024

My strong is building a legacy that transcends material possessions.


Welcome to Day 15 of our “me-first” journey! We’ve reached the halfway mark, and today we’re talking about buiilding a legacy that matters —specifically, the kind of impact we leave behind. It’s not  just about generational heirlooms or grand gestures; it’s about the everyday choices and the love we share that truly define our legacy.


Building a legacy starts with understanding its profound impact on both your life and those around you. It’s about taking the time, in the middle of  life’s busyness, to consider how your actions, choices, and the love you share will echo through generations. Today, reflect on this: What kind of legacy do I want to leave? How can my daily actions contribute to this legacy? And how can I ensure that my legacy is felt and remembered? These questions will guide you toward a life of intention and purpose and help you build a legacy you can be proud of. 



Key Takeaways:


  • Living with Purpose: Align your daily actions with your core values to ensure your legacy resonates with authenticity and intention.
  • Impact on Future Generations: Consider how your actions and the values you uphold will influence and pave the way for future generations.
  • Personal Reflection: I shared a moment from my grandmother’s funeral, reflecting on the profound legacy she left through her dedication to others, and how it shaped my understanding of what I want my own legacy to be.

Join our Upcoming “Un-caped” Workshop: To take a deeper dive into how we can consciously shape our legacy and influence future generations, join us at the Un-caped workshop on July 30th. We’ll explore strategies for breaking cycles of hyper-independence and fostering a legacy of connection and support. Save your seat NOW.


Looking Ahead: Tomorrow, we dive into Day 16, focusing on breaking generational curses, also an important aspect of creating a “me-first” life and  building a meaningful legacy.
