Last week I shared about growth and momentum in my business, and this week I’m diving even deeper into a realization that stopped me in my tracks: it can be easy.After weeks of excitement, overwhelm, and big opportunities, I sat down with my mentors and uncovered a belief I didn’t even know I was carrying… the idea that success has to be hard. Long hours, constant hustle, and nonstop “doing” had become my default. But through powerful conversations and a hypnotherapy session, I discovered that ease

Community has looked a lot of different ways for me over the years including packed online networking calls to quiet in-person walks or coffee meet-ups with just one other person.And if I'm honest, I used to believe that bigger meant better.
