Are You Living As Her?


Dear diary—I mean, Reader...

Lately I’ve been catching myself in the gap. The gap between who I say I want to be… and how I’m actually showing up.

Here’s what I mean.

With my team, I’ve been tossing tasks into Slack like confetti. Things falling through the cracks, projects half-tracked. And then I had to stop and ask myself: if I say I’m building a multi-million-dollar business, why am I running it like a side hustle?

So I’ve been building out a CRM. A real system. Pipelines, tasks, client flow—all in one place. Because the CEO version of me doesn’t lead from chaos. She leads from clarity.

And then there’s my body. Postpartum has been tender and beautiful and exhausting. And honestly? Food has been my shortcut. I’ve always loved moving—walks, workouts, sweat dripping down my back. But when it came to food, I reached for ease. And ease wasn’t serving me.

So I started meal prepping. Not glamorous, just consistent. And I’ve already released 10 pounds—not because of the scale, but because of the promises I kept to myself. That feels abundant.

Even in my marriage, I’ve had to face myself. Noticing when my attitude slips. Noticing when I don’t show up with the patience or softness I want to. Because if I say I desire partnership, intimacy, love… then I can’t push that version of me off for “later.”

It all comes back to this: abundance isn’t a someday. It’s right here in the DAILY actions.

If I say I’m going to batch content—I batch it.

If I say I’m going to nourish my body—I prep my meals.

If I say I want to be magnetic in a room—I care for myself like I already am.

That’s abundance in action. It’s not the vision board. It’s the living board.

So I’ll ask you what I’ve been asking myself: Are you living like the version of you who already has it?

✨ If you feel called, reply to this email and write to me as her.

Tell me what she’s celebrating, what she’s creating, what she’s choosing in this season.

Because I believe she already exists—you’re just learning to trust her voice.

Motivation will leave you broke. Reader, I say that with love. Because if you’re waiting for the feeling to create content, you’ll always be waiting. That’s why I believe in batching. Not because it’s rigid. But because it creates freedom. Freedom to play when inspiration strikes. Freedom to stay present with your family. Freedom to have sales coming in—without having to live online. This hit me hard after having my daughter. It’s way too easy to spend the whole day kissing baby toes and then...

Reader, it's been a full season. A season of reflecting, rethinking, and remembering what I love in my business—and what I want to release. We just passed the five-year mark. That feels monumental. And yet, it also feels like I’m only scratching the surface of what’s possible. I share that because I know some of you might be in a season that feels quiet… or slower than you’d like. And I want to remind you: silence doesn’t mean something’s wrong. Sometimes it’s the space you need to tune back...

Reader, I have a real story for you today. A story of clarity, consistency, and belief—and how one of our incredible Courageous Content Academy (CCA) members, Tyrina (aka Ty), took those three elements and transformed her business. This journey isn’t about overnight success or magic formulas. It’s about the small but powerful shifts that led Ty to grow her following from under 900 to 12,000 in just six months—all while hitting her first six-figure milestone in her business. Let me take you...
