Doing the scary thing (my 12-month experiment)
|
Hi Reader, It's August 2025 - the start of my 12-month experiment to lean into and do what scares me but that I know it's the right thing for me to do. Not anyone else, just me. Beginning with sharing about a topic that I used to hide from others, afraid what they would think of me if they found out. This week’s podcast is one of the most personal I’ve recorded. It’s about fear. And how it sneaks into our decisions when we’re building a business and trying to grow into the next version of ourselves. Here’s what I’ve realized: Fear is sneaky. It often disguises itself as 'logic' to keep us safe. Discomfort isn’t a sign you’re on the wrong path, it’s proof you’re growing. The only way to expand your comfort zone is to step out of it. I share a story from work that brought up my old people-pleasing habits and fear of rejection. Saying 'no' felt scary, but it reminded me how much growth happens when we lean into what feels uncomfortable. That’s why I’ve started a 12-month experiment: to 'do the scary thing' every time my gut says yes, even if it feels uncomfortable. Because I know that’s how I’ll grow into the version of me who creates the life and business I want. You can listen to the full episode here:

Hello Reader, Ever set a big goal, then life got in the way?The sick kid. The late nights at work. The weekend that disappeared in errands. That used to throw me completely off. I’d feel like I 'failed' and wonder if I’d ever make my business work. Until I discovered the secret: systems. Systems are what keep me moving, even when everything else falls apart. My morning routine sets the tone for the day. My evening reflection pulls out lessons (even from tough days). My weekend batching gets...
Hi Reader, This week’s podcast was born out of a messy Saturday that started at 2 a.m. in the A&E with my son (he’s okay now, thank goodness 🙏). It reminded me of something I’ve been learning over and over again: It’s not your to-do list that creates your reality. It’s the energy you bring to everything you do. Last week we talked about mindset and identity. This week, we’re onto the E in my MES Framework: Energy. Here’s the truth: You can have the best plan in the world, but if you’re...
Hi Reader, A few years ago, it took me ~2 years to go from 'nice to meet you' to 'yes, I’m a client'. Today it’s ~5 months - while working full-time and building in ~1 hour a day. What changed wasn’t a trendy tactic. It was who I was being. Inside this week’s podcast episode, I share: The identity → beliefs → emotions → actions chain that quietly controls your results (and timelines) The refund that hurt, and the alignment lesson that followed Why my newest client arrived inbound with zero...
