Hi. I'm figuring it out.

Hi, friend.


Soooo yeah. I’ve been pretty quiet for a bit. I've decided to rip off the band-aid, put down the leftover onion dip from yesterday's boring game, and finally say it! 😬

 

Ever since the holidays, I’ve felt significantly detached from my business. Not like a dramatic “everyyyy thingggg is fallingggg aparttttt” way, but like, a very confusing way. It's wild to announce it, but hey, here we are. Maybe you're even feeling it a bit, too?

 

I've had some life stuff going on the last few months (plus the world being on fire every moment of every day), so I know that's part of it. But TBF, I know that's not all of it. These feelings have been around for a while now.

 

And while I'm continuing to think about all of that, I still want to pour love and energy back into my business: BUT I haven't really been clear at all on where/how to restart things and get in the groove. Not particularly inspired. Mostly avoiding my desk. Not posting or emailing or podcasting. Basically NOT MARKETING. I mean, yeah, I did tiny bits of work here and there from my laptop, but I've felt oddly blank about “coming back.”

 

Can't stress enough how weird of a time it's been for me.

 

But one thing I def know in my bones:


 

I’m not trying to hit 7 figures.

I’m just trying to figure it out.



Figure out what I actually want more of right now…


..what feels good to work on again (or for the first time).


…how I want my business to fit into my life in this season.


 

Not in some hustle-y or "burn it all down" way. But like, a “checking in on myself and actually paying attention” way.

 

My mission is still helping you create a biz that actually feels like the real you so that your kindred spirit clients can find you.

 

I'm not planning on changing the what or the why. 


But I may be adjusting the how.


 

Over the years, I've often talked about starting before you’re ready, taking imperfect action, and flow>force. And right now, I am taking my own advice.


 

So this email is my first step. It's me poking my head out from backstage and saying "hi." 👋

 

I’ve been thinking a lot each day. Honestly asking myself what I love doing, what I don’t, what still feels aligned to offer, and what definitely doesn’t. I don’t have a perfectly articulated plan yet. I’m still figuring it out. And that’s okay.


  • Changing your mind is allowed.

  • We're not meant to be the same business, business owner, or person that we were when we launched.

  • Little steps forward are still steps forward.


I’ve done a handful of “work things” this week, including a few fun Empower Hour sessions, and they felt good. That tells me the muck is starting to shed a bit and I'm welcoming that.

 

I’ll keep you posted on what I'm finding out, what’s shifting, and what’s coming next. Deadline? Dunno yet.


I’m also thinking about hosting a casual Zoom on Galentine’s Day (Feb 13, 2026) for us to just chat. About our life. About our biz. About being in this weird in-between space where you want a fresh canvas but don’t quite know how you want to paint your future yet. 🎨

 

If you like that idea, reply and lmk. If I hear back from a handful of galentines, I'll set up the Zoom. Maybe I'll even release the recording as a bonus podcast ep?

 

In the meantime:


Hi again.

I’m here. 

I’m re-starting (kinda) and figuring it out as I go.

 

If you’re in a similar place, I'd love to hear from ya.

 

More soon 💗
