Welcome to The 3-31 (Our) Me Power

A monthly reflection ritual for people whose lives are changing

1 Story • 1 Question • 1 Shift

This is a monthly reflection ritual for people who sense that their life is shifting, evolving, or quietly asking something new of them.

At some point, many thoughtful adults reach a quiet turning point.

From the outside, life looks successful.

But internally, something begins to shift.

You’re doing everything you’re supposed to do.
And still wondering why it doesn’t feel the way you thought it would.

You’ve outgrown parts of your life, but haven’t said it out loud yet.
You’re moving forward, but not always choosing the direction.

Something is changing.

The 3-31 exists for that moment.

Each issue brings:

one story to notice something you might have missed,
one question to sit with, and
one challenge to carry into the month ahead, that shifts you into action,

helping you stay aligned with the life you are building, rather than slowly drifting away from it.

This is not something you scroll past.
It’s something you return to.

What This Will Do For You

The 3-31 helps you stay in conversation with your own life.

Once a month, you pause long enough to notice what is shifting, what still feels true, and what might be asking to change.

Over time, this practice helps you make clearer decisions, trust your own voice, and stay aligned with the life you are building instead of drifting away from it.

Who Is The 3-31 For?

You might be here if:

You’re doing well, but something feels slightly off
You’re growing, but haven’t named what’s changing
You want to be more intentional about the life you are building

If this feels familiar, you’re in the right place.

My Why

In January 2022, my heart flatlined from sudden cardiac arrest.

Waking up after two weeks in the ICU was not a return to life as usual. It was a summons to live and lead differently.

Surviving a sudden cardiac arrest and living with dilated cardiomyopathy didn’t just change my life. It changed how I think about attention, urgency, and what actually matters.

That perspective shapes everything I write, teach, and share.

Who Am I?

My name is Dr. LaNysha Adams.

I hold a Ph.D. in applied linguistics, and my work explores how language shapes the way we understand ourselves, our choices, and the lives we are building.

I am also a mother of two boys, a TEDx speaker, lover of people, food, and travel, with five more states to visit before I’ve seen all 50.

Across everything I do, I’m drawn to questions of personal agency, reflection, and how people realign their lives as they grow.

Over the past two decades I have worked in education, leadership development, and wellness. I currently serve as Director of the Student Wellness Center at Santa Fe Community College, where I lead initiatives focused on mental health, overall wellbeing, and student success.

For speaking and training, organizations bring me in to help high-performing teams stay aligned, resilient, and effective in the midst of pressure and change. My work supports leaders across higher education, national labs, corporate teams, and professional communities.

What To Do Next

If this resonates with you, I hope you’ll stay and consider sharing it with someone else who might be in a similar moment.
