Beyond the Daily Card Pulls: The Full Story of Do Better

If you’ve seen me on TikTok, you might think Do Better is just me pulling a card every morning. That’s where a lot of people start, but there’s a whole lot more behind it.

Do Better is a brand, a journey, and a system I’m building right in the open. It’s messy. It’s not perfect. And it’s definitely not some guru thing. It’s just one person trying to live a little better, show up every day, and maybe spark that same fire in someone else.

Here’s what you see:

• Daily card pulls — little pushes toward action.

• Short videos on TikTok and Facebook.

• A t-shirt every now and then.
  

Here’s what’s really behind it:

• Flame in the River Journal — a simple, real system I built to keep myself grounded and present.

• The Do Better Card Deck — prompts designed to get people moving without overthinking.

• The Invisible Backpack — a children’s book about the invisible struggles we carry, the kind of story I wish I could have told my kids when I was...not as better as I am now.

• The Do Better Fund — $5 from every shirt goes directly back into the hands of people who need it. No middlemen. No waiting. Real help, real time.

And this is just the beginning.

What’s next?

• Larger community projects: care packages, hospital boxes, direct help for families.

• More tools that make it easier to stay present and keep moving forward.

• Building a movement rooted in action, not hype.

This blog isn’t about pretending I have it all figured out. It’s about documenting the process, the wins and the misses, while I build this in real time.

Starting today, I’ll be posting here every Sunday. It’s a space to step back from the daily grind, share the bigger picture, and let you in on what’s really happening behind the scenes.

One step forward. Every day.
