Let's be friends on Instagram! 

I haven't quite found the right words to describe how things are going these past six weeks or so since I've gone full-time self-employed. "Good" doesn't feel quite accurate or expressive enough, and "challenging," while totally true, doesn't account for all of the things I've gained. Rollercoaster or whirlwind tend to be my defaults, but that's kind of cheating ;)⠀ ⠀ I was explaining this to my dear friend @cursorandink today over Skype and she wisely said, "It sounds like you are right where you need to be."⠀ ⠀ Yes, that's exactly it. When people ask "How are things going?" I know this is the most accurate response I could give. I am exactly where I need to be, feeling and experiencing exactly what I'm supposed to–however uncomfortable, exciting, scary, uncertain, freeing it is.⠀ ⠀ This is the work.⠀ ⠀ #pauseandreflect #momentsofmine #alifeofintention #thehappynow #consciousculture #feelfreefeed #liveinpursuit #findyourpath #powerofnow #simpleandstill #myeverydaymagic #seekinspirecreate #theslowdowncollective #awakethelight #ampersandco #inspiredwomen #bloomyellow #verilymoment #dreamersanddoers #calledtobecreative #createcultivate #creativityfound #beingboss #mycreativelife #thecreativeeconomy #womenbusinessowners #womenhelpingwomen #femalefounders #imperfectboss #therealfemaleentrepreneur
I started to laugh when I pulled this card from my new @bewithcards deck because I was just telling my friends yesterday that I've been getting schooled in the art of "slowing down to speed up."⠀ Just when I think I've slowed down enough, I am asked to slow down even more. Just when I believe I've surrendered to the universe quite enough already, the universe is like #nope, keep letting go and trusting.⠀ ⠀ I need this reminder sometimes, especially in business. I'm someone who, when I get excited about an idea, always likes to do things right away. Once it feels right, I'm all in, ready to dive right in. And therefore, I expect to see transformation right away, too. But I'm learning that a lot of things are built one small block at a time, and that's okay.⠀ ⠀ Same goes for healing. As much as I'd love to rush the process to get to that next place where I can "move on," it doesn't really work that way. It takes time. And unraveling. And taking down each block one by one, so that eventually you're at the foundation–the roots of who you are.⠀ ⠀ It's strange to be both building up and tearing down simultaneously.⠀ ⠀ #pauseandreflect #momentsofmine #morningslikethese #alifeofintention #thehappynow #consciousculture #feelfreefeed #liveinpursuit #findyourpath #powerofnow #simpleandstill #myeverydaymagic #seekinspirecreate #theslowdowncollective #awakethelight ⠀ #ampersandco #verilymoment #dreamersanddoers #calledtobecreative #createcultivate #creativityfound #beingboss #mycreativelife #thecreativeeconomy #womenbusinessowners #consciouscoach #lifecoachingforwomen #permissiontopivot
Get thee a friend who won’t throw in the towel until you both finally get good air (even if it takes 50 tries...) 💛

What. A. Week! This was my first full working week of self-employment and it was wonderful. All of the thoughts around that coming your way soon! I'm taking the weekend off from social media, but first, an invitation:⠀ ⠀ To make up for last night's IG Live technical difficulties 😂, @bewithcards and I are moving our conversation around pivots, resistance, and (a new way of looking at) self-care to MONDAY at 12 PM EST in Zoom. The link will be in my bio (and I'll send an email to my newsletter subscribers) and I'll be sure to remind you in IG Stories ahead of time! So, mark your calendars, get your questions and thoughts around what holds you back when you know it's time for a shift ready, and we'll see you then!⠀ ⠀ #selfemploymentlife #pauseandreflect #momentsofmine #alifeofintention #thehappynow #consciousculture #feelfreefeed #liveinpursuit #findyourpath #powerofnow #simpleandstill #myeverydaymagic #seekinspirecreate #theslowdowncollective #awakethelight #dreamersanddoers #socialmediadetox #aninvitationtoselfcare
