Keep going, Reader! I believe in you.

I’ll be honest… I’ve been feeling really behind.
It’s nearly May, and all those big, beautiful plans I mapped out for 2024?
They’re slipping through my fingers.

I had committed to a 30-day Reels challenge (I was all in), had plans to send out weekly newsletters, and felt excited about what I was building this year.

But somewhere around Day 14, I hit a wall.

Too much on my plate.
Newsletters skipped.
Reels paused.
And then… dental work (hello, unexpected root canal).

At first, I felt guilty—like I was falling behind.
But then a deeper question emerged:
Am I holding onto too much? (sound familiar?)

Sometimes, when things slip, it’s not a sign of failure.
It’s a sign that we were never meant to carry it all.

This past week, I’ve been in deep reflection.
Who am I becoming?
What do I really want to offer?
How do I want to show up—consistently, yes—but in a way that honours me?

Which brings me to this week’s message:
​
​What does success really mean, and who are we becoming as we build it? ✨

Which brings me to this week’s 3-2-1…

3 mindset shifts to redefine success (especially if you're feeling behind)

1️⃣ From: “What should I do next?”
​ To: “What feels aligned with who I’m becoming?”

2️⃣ From: “What will impress others?”
​ To: “What brings me energy, meaning, and joy?”

3️⃣ From: “How can I do more?”
​ To: “What do I want to create—and who do I want to be while doing it?”

​
​Here's 2 practices to reconnect with your own version of success:

1️⃣ Ask better questions.
​ Instead of chasing what’s next, ask:
“Is this aligned with my values?”
“Does this energise or deplete me?”

2️⃣ Try the art of letting go.
​ If it’s slipping, maybe it’s not meant to be carried right now.
​
✨ Here’s a guided meditation I recorded to create more stillness.
It’s 10 minutes of breath, grounding, and softening—because clarity often comes when we pause.
