Can I share something personal with you? Last year was... rough.

I felt completely off-kilter, like I’d lost my way. There were so many tears, so much frustration, and moments of raw honesty with myself that were far from easy.

I realized I had strayed from my soul’s path. The woman I’d become didn’t align with the woman I knew I was at my core. It was a hard pill to swallow, but it was also the wake-up call I needed.

So I made some changes. Big ones. Scary ones. The kind of changes that make you question everything you thought you knew about yourself.

It wasn’t pretty – think less “graceful butterfly emerging from a chrysalis” and more “messy caterpillar goo.”

But you know what? I’m emerging onto the other side. And I’ve got to tell you – I’m feeling more excited and joyful than ever. 

The fog has lifted, and I can see my path clearly again. It’s like I’ve rediscovered parts of myself I’d forgotten existed.

I’m sharing this because these are the conversations we need to have.  And I want you to know: if you’re in that messy, uncomfortable place of evolution right now, hang in there. 

It’s not easy, but it’s so worth it. It’s also a very normal part of life, so nothing has gone wrong.

And if you’re feeling the stirrings of change, don’t ignore them. Your soul might be trying to guide you back to your true path.

Here’s to becoming who we’re meant to be – messy parts and all,

P.S. Speaking of evolution, I’m thrilled to announce a brand-new Instagram account I’m launching TODAY for the School of Self-Image. It’s just one of the exciting changes I’ve been working on within my business.

The Power of Imperfect Action

The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex, overwhelming tasks into small, manageable tasks and starting on the first one.

~ Mark Twain

Taking the first step towards change can be daunting, but remember, progress beats perfection. Each small action contributes to your personal evolution, no matter how imperfect it may seem. Embrace the journey, flaws and all!

This week, choose one small action towards a goal you’ve been postponing. It could be as simple as writing the first sentence of that book you’ve always wanted to write or decluttering one drawer in your home.

Don’t aim for perfection – just take that first step. Notice how accomplishing this small task makes you feel, and use that momentum to fuel your next action.
