127. Redefining Success: A Memorial Day Reflection
Memorial Day isn’t just a long weekend—it’s a sacred reminder of the sacrifice others have made so we can live and work freely.
In this short episode, I share why this holiday means so much to me, and how it’s made me pause and reflect on service, sacrifice, and legacy. Whether your work is paid or unpaid, titled or quiet, it leaves a lasting impact.
In this episode you’ll be encouraged to:
- Reflect on the true meaning of Memorial Day
- Redefine success beyond money and titles
- Consider the legacy your daily work is building
📝 Take a few minutes to journal: Who is my work ultimately for—and how am I serving them?
📖 “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart…” – Colossians 3:23

Hey, accelerators, may has been an absolutely amazing month. but this month it has been Mother's Day, which has been absolutely lovely to be showered, loved by five wonderful children, and my fabulous husband to be recognized for the things that I do. And hopefully you've had something similar for you. It's also graduation time. You guys may have heard that my nephew is graduating and somehow I'm old enough to have my first little guy graduate. It's crazy. It's also Memorial Day, which is a beautiful day of remembrance. The men and women who've given their lives in service of this country so that we can have freedom. To have freedom with how we choose to handle our money. To be a part of commerce where we can spend money and choose to spend money, how we want to have the freedom of time, the freedom of choice, the freedom of movement. There are a lot of freedoms we have in this country is the greatest country on earth, and that's why so many people are so desperate to get in here. That's why people are willing to die for this country. Memorial Day used to be called Decoration Day. It was a day where people would get together and go decorate the graves of their loved ones. Over time, it's morphed into a national holiday where we commemorate the lives of those that we have lost. And so I don't want you to think of this as just a day off of work or another holiday for a backyard barbecue, although this is the official kickoff of summer. There is a greater reason behind Memorial Day. I, for one, could not be more thankful. This girl, I was born on Veterans Day, and I'm thankful for all the veterans that are alive that I can still say thank you to, but wow, to give of yourself. The Bible says greater love has no one oneness that he laid down his life for his friends, and that's what our servicemen and women have done. So as I'm reflecting on both motherhood, on my career, on sacrifice, on service, whether my work is paid or unpaid, it is leaving a lasting impact on the people that I serve and the people that I love. Same is true for you. Work has a ripple effect. It's far beyond your title. It's beyond your paycheck. Your work is part of your legacy. I. So I just quickly wanted to say that now is a good time as we reflect to redefine what success looks like instead of letting it be about the title that you have or the amount of money in your bank account. I would love for success to be defined by who you serve. Colossians 3 23 says, whatever you do, work at it with all your heart. That's working for the Lord, not for Human Masters. I'm doing a lot of my own reflecting, but I was thinking of you and I. I want you to look at the legacy impact of the work that you are doing and the people that you were serving, the people that you were serving, how are you impacting them? Are they walking away from interactions with you with a smile on their face? Do they feel better? Are they growing because of you? I'd love for you to sit down with a journal in your hand and ask, who is my work ultimately for who am I serving? And then reflect on your answer. It really is short and sweet this week, accelerators. Go out and make a difference.
