How long are you going to wait before you just begin with where you are, jump, and do the thing?
You still waiting to feel more confident? More capable? More talented like the others that are already doing it?
When will the self-judgement be too much, too heavy, too “enough already!” for you?
Confidence isn’t one of those things that come while you sit and wait for it. It is developed on your way to success, not before your journey begins. If you can just understand this, then you can begin now, legs shaking, nervous energy pumping, uncertainty in place, and know that all of that is part of the process. It’s called growth.
I waited to feel ready for years. It never happened. I learned, studied, attended seminars and training, and then I would look at what others were doing and always felt like I wasn’t quite ready because “they were better than me!”
Comparison is always a big no no. I know this, and so do you. But we still do it. And it will kill your ability to move forward with confidence and allow yourself to get better as you grow.
When I finally made the decision to do what I could, imperfect as it might be, I realized that nothing was really as difficult as I was making it out to be.
Yes, I had challenges. Failures? Yep. Many. Mess ups? Uh huh. Still do. And I don’t always feel very confident when I begin either. But when I take the attention off of my own motives and I focus on how many people I can help if I get out of my own way, I always find the courage to do what I’m guided to do.
You have a world to wake up. An impact to make. Women’s lives to inspire and influence and help to change. Doesn’t that mean more to you than your small fear and ridiculous doubt that you can’t do it?
God would never call you to serve your purpose and not fully gift you with all that you need. You are IT, God’s gift to the world. The only thing that blocks you from realizing this, is the way you perceive yourself.
As you look through the lens of self-judgement, criticism and not-enoughness, you’re guaranteed to see limitations that feel impossible to overcome. But that’s not a picture I recommend believing in. Because just as easily as you’ve believed in that scenario for so long, you can choose to empower yourself with a vastly different picture which can become your new reality.
You can choose to create an image of the brilliance that is already within you. You can choose to paint the picture of the abundance that is your birthright. You can choose to envision the success that is already here waiting for you to see it. You can choose to write the script of unlimited power, freedom, talent, and wishes fulfilled and that will become the movie you get to star in.
And as you do change that picture in your mind, you can’t help but step up into that version of you who is taking action inspired by the guidance of your soul! You are so inspired, turned on, amped up by what you know is possible for your life that sitting and waiting just no longer feels like something you are capable of doing.
No matter how quickly you decide to do the thing, or how long you wait, there’s one thing for sure that I know. It will feel a bit unfamiliar and sort of scary when you step off the edge of the cliff. But after you confront the fear and just dive in, you’ll want to come back over and over again for more.
The fear turns into exhilaration. You fully know what to expect when that fear creeps in. You realize that you can overcome. a And you feel powerful beyond belief.
So just do it already! What is that one thing that you’ve been wanting to do, but for some reason waiting to do it? Let me know in the comments!

Being in creative flow is one of the most important essentials in my daily work. I rely on inspiration to give me the thoughts to think, the words to say, and the guidance to show me the best steps to take that will help me serve my purpose in the most effective and efficient ways possible.
I’m also not naturally the type of person who likes to make lists and check boxes. I’m a “do whatever I feel like whenever I want to” kind of girl. So when that mindset wasn’t working for my business, I started to really get frustrated. Especially because the guidance of my business coaches was to “constantly be in flow and just show up and do what feels good in the moment!”
It wasn’t working for me. The end of my workday would come and I wasn’t sure I did everything I wanted to do. Sometimes I felt accomplished but other times I felt like nothing got done. Mostly, I had no way of determining what was working and what I could eliminate, release, or shift so that I was giving God the best opportunity to work magic for me in my business.
What I learned is that, for me anyway, a balance of creative flow and a solid action plan are both necessary. I pray in the morning for guidance, stay flexible, but I also create a solid plan (obvs guided by my spirit!) for the week before Monday comes around.
I don’t begin my week clueless, empty slated, just waiting for the first bit of guidance before I can step into my work.
I consider a couple things my top priority when planning my week, and then I leave the rest up to God. Here are the things that I have outlined before my week begins:
- Basic topics I want to talk about and discuss– I noticed that when I just randomly showed up for a FB or IG live and shared whatever came up in the spur of the moment, often there was no flow from one day to the next. People didn’t know what to expect from me. And when people get confused, they stop engaging.
I couldn’t blame them! I didn’t feel on top of my game, and sometimes I just showed up and hit “GO LIVE” without any thought of what I was going to talk about, thinking that God would just show up and speak through me. Sure, this is very possible. But while I waited for the brilliance to flow through, people got bored and uninterested.
You can still expect brilliance to flow (and even more so really!) when you’re prepared with a theme for the week/month or whatever feels right for you.
- Places to go and people to engage with– By writing down groups and individuals I want to engage with, I can easily remember where the people I most resonate with show up online. Instead of randomly visiting groups and chatting with just whoever, I’m very intentional with where I go and who I interact with. By showing up consistently in the same places, you are much more capable of making an impact and giving people a chance to get to know you!
- My reason for showing up– Begin with your why. This is one of my most favorite ways to get out of my head and remember the real reason I do what I do.
Do you want to inspire others? Do you want to share your story? Do you want to teach something? Do you want to engage and connect?
If your why is only self-serving, try tweaking it until you’re giving more than you receive. As you give, God will give back to you. You can never out-give God.
Once I have these few pieces in place, I feel ready to let go of the rest and allow God to direct my path.
How about you? What is your strategy for planning? Is it working for you? What adjustments can you make so that you’re more available for creative flow to work through you?

I know the frustration of grinding and working hard for what you love without the outer confirmation that it even matters to anybody.
I know the frustration of feeling unsupported by everyone you love because they just don’t see the vision that you have in your heart.
I know the pit in the stomach that happens when it feels like everything and everyone takes precedence over what you want.
I know what it’s like to feel like the only one who believes in your purpose….your calling.
Your ego needs the confirmation from the world in order to feel important, but your Soul never does.
Your ego wants to have it all figured out with a game plan and a support line up to ensure all your ducks are in a row. But the Universe constantly course-corrects so that you’re supported even when you don’t know how it will happen.
Your ego wants to feel special, important, like a priority. But your Soul has no need for that. Your Soul already knows It’s important place in this world and knows that nothing and nobody is powerful enough to dim your light unless you allow it.
You can always find reasons to be offended if you even half-ass look for it. There are plenty of people who are more than capable of hurting your feelings, making you feel unimportant, or downright pissing you off.
(In actuality, nobody has that power. But sometimes I realize it feels that way!)
But it’s during times like these that you need to go within, and instead of looking for confirmation from the world, you simply realign with the Truth of who you are….
…because you are infinitely supported. And when you allow everyone the opportunity to be whomever they choose to be, you are opening yourself up for the many opportunities for God to support you as well.
When you simply step back and give God room to work miracles, everything will work out even better than you could expect. This is a guarantee….a promise.
Not a promise from me. That wouldn’t matter worth a shit. But a promise from God. The God that is never disconnected from you, always residing within you, and in all actuality, IS YOU when given the go-ahead by you to actually express Itself through you.
It’s rarely easy to do this work. It’s way easier to stay offended, hurt, bitter, resentful.
But it is possible. And it’s the only way to truly feel good. And that’s far more important than anything you can pinpoint in this physical realm.
It’s usually not easy to decide to let go, not care about those who don’t ultimately matter anyway, to trust that God is in control and everything is always working out for you. But since it’s true, you might as well not fight it.
It’s often difficult to surrender the outcome, the “how’s”, and the “when’s” to God, but honestly it’s the only way that you’ll arrive at the full manifestation of your desire HAPPILY!
I find it quite funny that we resist our miracles so often for the sake of digging in our heals and being right.
I did it even this morning. I had the opportunity to let go and trust OR I could be offended and hurt. And it took me more than a hot second to let go.
Even though I know this stuff inside and out. I KNOW I want to feel good. I know the only way is to surrender. I KNOW God is in control. I KNOW things will work out….and I know they will ONLY work out when I back TF off and give God room to work miracles.
I KNOW.
And I still resisted.
I still wanted to be right.
I still wanted to feel sorry for myself. I still wanted others to feel sorry for me.
I still chose, momentarily, to feel like ass over feeling good.
So when I say I realize it’s rarely, if ever, easy….I really do.
I’m with you. I’m feeling you. I’m here with you even now.
And I’m reminding you, friend to friend, soul to soul,
dropping your MF story, despite who it lets off the hook and how many times, is the only way to ultimately get what you really want.
Do you want things to work out for you?
Do you want to feel good?
Do you want miracles to unfold on your behalf?
Do you want to be happy?
Ok. Then give up your story. Let it go. Turn your struggle over to the Universe and let God correct the course.
It’s never easy, but it’s as easy as that.
I love you! xoxo

Early on in life, I always admired the people who seemed to have life made for them. I sort of just wanted a cushy life where someone else paid all my bills while I jet-setted around the world from beach to beach living it up without a care in the world.
When I learned about manifestation, I actually thought I could manifest this kind of life for myself, so that’s what I tried to do.
I followed all the rules, applied every strategy, stuck to the processes by the book….
….and my life started to crumble right before my very eyes.
I literally lost all the material things that made me feel safe and secure, irresponsibly quitting my good-paying job and short selling my beloved condo so that I could move back home with my parents at 31, jobless, and completely broke.
From my broken state, I was forced to dig deeper, look beyond the safety and security of the material world, and start asking the tough questions, while being open and willing to actually listen when God answered.
I realized that had I created a life that my mind conjured up as “ideal”, I would never have the motivation to actually answer the calling placed on my life.
I never would’ve stepped up into becoming the version of myself who transforms the lives of women all over the planet with a message of empowerment and possibility.
The luxury and ease that I was seeking would’ve been the very thing that prevented me from actually loving my life, feeling the fulfillment that only stepping into your purpose could provide.
My soul knew the limits of my human mind. When left to my own devices, I choose safe, comfortable, and easy. Not everyone is that way, but that was true for me.
Until I had every single crutch knocked out from underneath me, I would forever keep looking for something to protect my small, empty life.
I would keep seeking for happiness and fulfillment in the external world that had a really good grip on my consciousness.
But when you have nothing else, the wake up call is pretty easy to hear.
Suddenly doing what I’ve always known I was born to do felt possible. Even though I was scared as hell, I also had nothing to lose.
I knew what it felt like to have a lot and lose it, I also knew what it felt like to not have anything, and i didn’t like it. I also knew that if I wanted a life of luxury it had to come with soul-fulfillment and meaning because just having money wasn’t enough.
I knew it was all or nothing.
I chose to have it all.
If you’ve been called in this lifetime to make an impact and do great things, and you are avoiding that calling because fear is louder than faith, don’t be surprised when the things that once worked for you stop working.
Don’t be surprised when the foundation of what felt safe and secure starts to crumble.
It’s nothing personal. It’s simply life calling you to greater things. It’s the calling on your life not settling or hiding anymore.
Here’s where free will kicks in. You always have free will to answer the calling, step into your greatness, align with your soul, and kick ass in life!
When you say yes, everything you want and need becomes available effortlessly. Opportunities present themselves, people are placed in your path, you begin to receive ideas, and you actually EVOLVE into a more improved version of yourself. You actually upgrade your software and BECOME MORE.
You will always be supported when you begin living your purpose
But you don’t have to. And most people never will. But real happiness and prosperity will never be achieved when you make the choice to stay small.
Sure you might have a good job that pays the bills. You might have an easy life that appears to be fantastic to everyone on the outside looking in.
But you’ll always feel empty regardless of what you do or don’t have until you begin giving of yourself and stepping out in boldness to serve the world in whatever way you know you were meant to do.
And someday, when the calling gets loud enough, and you’ve ignored it one too many days, all of your security just might disappear.
It never had to get to that point. I could’ve listened years ago and avoided the crumbling of my life. But I was hard-headed, stubborn, and let my fears and insecurities get the best of me before I woke up and realized I couldn’t avoid this burning in my heart.
You can avoid the demolition too, if you just wake up now and do the damn thing.
You know what you were born to do. You’re just scared of starting.
You hear the calling daily. You’re just ignoring it.
You feel the tugging at your heart. You just keep numbing out.
But the calling is getting louder and the tugging is pulling harder and the little tap on your shoulder is going to become a wack over the head with a 2×4 if you keep ignoring it.
Step up! I promise the fear will disappear as you begin taking action.
Step up! I promise you will be supported with all that you need as soon as you demonstrate your faith.
Step up! Life is wanting to express through you, and when you give it permission, that is when your life begins.
Step up! Living your calling doesn’t come at the expense of a life of luxury. Living your calling is the only way you can have it all.
One thing I know about you….
You DO WANT IT ALL.
You want the money but you also want to be happy. You want the luxury but you also want the fulfillment. You want the freedom of choices but there’s also a passion within you that is begging for you to choose IT!
You’ve been called. You’re meant for bigger things. You were born for greatness.
You’re outgrowing the smallness of your life. It’s time to spread your wings. What once worked in your life as a caterpillar must be let go of to become a butterfly.
No sacrifice here! You’re letting go of something small to be available for more.
I’m so exited for you! Now is your time! You are enough! You are supported! You have what it takes.
I love you!
