In 2025, there were moments I caught myself pushing against the current.
Doing more.
Taking on more.
Moving faster.
And then I had a light-bulb moment:
Isn’t this exactly what I teach people not to do?
I didn’t beat myself up. That part matters. Because it’s human to unconsciously fall back into old habits, especially the ones that once created success.
But I knew something was off.
Of course action matters.
But action that spins you isn’t effective or productive
Action without faith turns into fear.
There’s a big difference between moving from:
“I know I’ve got this”
and
“What if I don’t?”
The moment I realized I was paddling upstream, I stopped. I paused. I reset.
And I asked myself a simple but powerful question:
Whose timeline am I on, anyway?
Mine.
And on my timeline, things unfold the way they’re meant to not because I’m forcing them, but because I’m committed and consistent with the actions I take.
They don’t need to be frantic.
They need to be strategic.
Intentional.
Aligned.
Fear showed up too and that’s natural.
Fear isn’t something to eliminate or outrun. Every emotion we feel is information a signal inviting us to get curious instead of reactive.
So instead of fighting fear, we can thank it and ask:
What’s really going on here?
What story am I telling myself right now?
What words am I repeating, quietly, unconsciously that are shaping how I show up?
And how can I do this differently?
Because the story we live from and the words we believe create our energy.
Our energy shapes our decisions and attracts opportunities and possibilities
And our decisions determine whether we stay where we are… or SOAR.
Not by pushing harder.
Not by proving more.
But by choosing aligned, intentional action.
That’s where real freedom comes from.
Freedom that comes from alignment, not force.
This year, I’m choosing to move from trust instead of urgency. From clarity instead of pressure. From faith instead of fear.
If this resonates, stay close. I’ll be sharing more about how we rewrite the stories that keep successful people from elevating into their next level and how to create a life and business you’re genuinely excited to wake up to.
Here’s to expansion that feels steady.
Success that feels grounded.
And freedom that actually feels like freedom.
Wishing you an amazing day ahead!
