Let’s work together, turning your life, business, something into a better future!

I’ve put together some of the most FAQs I get & I’ve broken them out into the many ways we can “work” together!

—

Why do we disqualify ourselves from doing something new, without giving ourselves the chance to try & explore it more?

Jump into the discomfort & just try the dang thing already🤷🏼‍♀️

Happy 2nd birthday, kid 🐕

You’re the reason I get out of bed in the AM (cuz you’re hungry).
You’re the reason I get outside every day (you wanna play or walk).
You’re the reason I get through the hard days (your slobbery chin makes me laugh).

Thank you for loving us unconditionally & I hope we’re doing alright as your human caregivers 😅

Taking more of this into 2023 with me,

Imma be honest…

Swipe to see where I’ve been + what’s up!

So much would be different without these two...👇

Without them, I would still be in my previous 9-5.
Without them, I would still be sacrificing evenings + weekends.
Without them, I would have settled for a life of mediocrity.

I know they deserve better. They deserve the best.

So that's what I'm building.
I'm building a way for us to have our dream lives.
A way for us to live with no regrets.
With no sacrificing.

It's taken a lot of work, time, + effort.
But I'm more than happy to put that in now,
So in a few years we can really celebrate how far we've come.

The truth about my family...

They are WHY I work online.
They are WHY I do some hard work.
They are WHY I get through the downs.
They are WHY I put in some long freaking days.
They are WHY I celebrate the good things.
They are WHY I enjoy being home.
They are WHY I do what I do.

Who in your life is your WHY for doing what you do?

I know you’re so proud to serve our country,

I thank you, the other men + women overseas, those at home, + especially those we’ve lost.

I thank the families that support their loved ones in service, whether active, reserves or retired.

Love on a military family when you can, even if their loved one is home. It helps make the times they’re apart a bit easier.

It’s about taking control into your own hands🙌🏼

I’ve been reflecting on my 2 year journey recently,

+ I realized that the months I didn’t see “success” were the months I let life take control.

+ I realized that the months I DID see “success”, were the months I took control of life.

It’s not about controlling everything,

It’s about controlling how you react to + shift the view on the things that happen.

So for the last three months of 2022, I’m taking control by:

-prioritizing my health
-maximizing my wealth
-diving deeper into personal development
-showing the f*ck up every single day

Who’s with me?

Who’s ready to commit to taking control back in life?

Drop a “I am🙋🏼‍♀️” in the comments if you’re with me!

Who else wants to always be surrounded by greatness?

I know I do.

But I wasn’t understanding this B I G piece of it.

You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with.

So if the people around you are negative, closed minded, + not working on their own growth,

where do you think THEY + YOU will be a year from now?

Now, let’s say you decide to jump into the journey of personal development,

There’s NOTHING wrong with that!

But the people you were previously surrounded by don’t get it, they make fun of you, they walk away.

That is OK.

We’re not meant to be on this earth as stagnant beings.

We’re meant to be learning + growing + loving + so much more.

So, are the 5 people you surround yourself with the most,

the people who will help get you to where you want to be?

Mine weren’t.

But they are NOW!

+ I’m forever grateful for them, + many others for walking this journey with me♥️

An amazing night celebrating a wonderfully inspiring couple✨

Congratulations Pavan + Denise♥️

Steal my biggest mindset hack for creating a life you love👇🏼

Instead of saying "I don't have time for..."

Start saying "... is not a priority".

My health, is not a priority.
An extra stream of income, is not a priority.
Being present with my family, is not a priority.

How does that feel?

If it doesn't feel good, that's the point.

How you spend your time is a choice you make.

If you don't like how you're spending your time, do something else.

—

Have you ever noticed that the people who love you,

tend to tell you what you should and shouldn’t want? Regardless of how you feel.

Hear me out 👉🏼 we are so conditioned to listen to the masses, we are so malleable to what we hear from others,

that we tell ourselves what we should and shouldn’t want based on others opinions + societal norms.

If we’re not careful, we will live our lives based on what’s “expected of us” instead of giving ourselves the permission to be, do, and have what feels good and right and awesome to us.

If you’re ready to find something that truly lights you up, drop your fav emoji below 👇🏼

I regret sitting on my butt and here's what I’d change👇🏼

My first year in business I pretty much did nothing.

That's because I wasn't consistent during the first 6 months, + then I had to put in 6 months of work to get myself back to point 0.

So I knew going into my 2nd year of business I needed to step up my game.

+ that's what I did.

I figured out a balance.
I figured out what worked for ME.
I figured out my priority tasks.
I figured out where I could get help.
I figured out the things that make me feel good!

+ I showed up daily.
+ I showed up messy.
+ I showed up put together.
+ I showed up + learned.
+ I showed up + took action.

None of the (almost) last year of business has been easy.

But it's been FULFILLING.

Here are some low moments:
-extreme burnout + medical leave from my 9-5
-over working on my business + not spending time with family
-feeling isolated from colleagues / business partners / life

Here are some big milestones though:
-started working more for my mentor .a.soicher
-manifested our dream puppy with my partner
-travelled to Arizona + met some incredible biz partners
-quit my 9-5 job fully
-finished my last season coaching artistic swimming
-have opened doors to opportunities I didn't know existed
-get to sit at tables where I learn, grow, teach, + implement DAILY
-worked through academy + completed it
-fell in love with mindset work

+ my overall favourite milestone?

Waking up every day with a purpose, a love for what I do, + the feeling of flying.

So as I’m getting ready to start year 3 in September,

I’m excited by the momentum from the last year.
I’m excited by the people I’m surrounding myself with.
I’m excited about what I’m building because it’s setting me up to fully thrive as a human being.

+ that’s all I could ever want from life✨

The day my life changed forever👇🏼

September 24, 2020

Well, actually a few days before that. I was scrolling Instagram, saw an ad about starting an online business, filled out my info + thought nothing of it.

Jump to my now friend, business mentor, + a gem of a human, .a.soicher sending me a message wanting to connect and learn more about why I wanted to work online. After chatting in the DMs, diving into the training platform, googling, researching, finding some negative info along with the positive, I took a calculated risk.

I jumped on a zoom call, chatted it all out and the rest is history! (I should mention I was in a place where I could figure out financing to get started, but some people aren’t + that’s OKAY! SO many people go through financing challenges but there are various resources available!)

I started my business so that I could one day, pay off all of my debt, build our dream home, be a stay at home mom to kids and puppers, while my my partner was sailing or deployed ( ) 

It was so much fun in the beginning! I was a sponge, I watched + participated in everything. There were many training calls watched, many late nights + early mornings, all around my 9-5 government job + coaching 2-3 days a week.

It almost got to a point of complete burnout with everything on my plate, a semi-new relationship + showing up for my business, but that’s what I loved so much! I could prioritize my family, my life, my job + my business could run 24/7.

There were a number of not-so-good or fun moments that happened in the first little bit too👇🏼

•I didn’t hit ANY of the goals I set for my first few months.
•I was showing up, putting in work, watching trainings over Netflix.
•I spent every moment I could learning, doing little business tasks during the little breaks in the day I had.
•I prioritized my business over relationships with family, friends.
•I ate, slept + breathed my business for months.

But I had to have these low points, the not-so-good moments in order to have the great moments!

(Part 2 comes Wednesday!)

I turned down a potential 6-figure salary, at a secure organization, for what?

•For the ability to create my own hours
•For the ability to travel when I wanted
•For the ability to have uncapped earning potential
•For the ability to spend as much time with my family as possible ( )
•For the ability to experience everything I was missing at a desk
•For the ability to stay home with my future children instead of sending them to daycare
•For the ability to be a present mom, partner, daughter, sister
•For the ability to find + do what makes me happy again

I’d always been told growing up that I should go to school, get a job, stay in that job until I could retire, then retire + live off of whatever I saved/invested/kept for a rainy day.

But what if inflation goes way up?
But what if you don’t live long enough to do everything you’ve ever wanted?
But what if you miss the important moments happening NOW while you’re at work?

Tomorrow isn’t guaranteed + I wanted to stop missing the special moments, so I said f*ck it + took a chance on myself.

Because I’ve always made it work,
Because I’ve always had enough to pay my bills,
Because I never gave up when I was hustling for my next contract job.

I’ve always had enough.
I’ve always put in the work.
I’ve always come out on top.

So why should I discount myself now?

I’m betting on me, on my work ethic, on my tenacity.

So,

if you know you’ve been a hustler,
if you know you’re made for more in life,
if you know your current circumstances won’t get you to where you want to be,

why shouldn’t you bet on yourself?

First fire of the summer🔥☀️

I am so grateful for this life I’ve built,

I am so grateful for the family I get to do life with,

I am so grateful for the abundance + flexibility I’ve created for myself.

All in all, I’m f*cking proud of where I’ve come from + where I’m going🤗💞

Life is a funny thing,

You think you have years + years to do all of the things on your bucket list but then you’re given a BIG reality check.

So this is your sign,

• book the plane ticket
• stop people pleasing
• find your life passions
• start the business
• get out of the comfort zone

Because life is too short to not do the thing you want.

Because life is too short to not live the life you dream of.

This is your sign to start now, drop a comment or DM me + I’ll reach out with more info; no strings attached.

What an amazing trip.

Sad reason to travel home, but well worth:

•the 17 years since we last visited,
•the 5+ years since last seeing my uncle.

So many good memories,
Such a good time connecting with my home (fun fact: I was born in Bermuda 🇧🇲),
Stoked to go back very very soon

—

Almost ready to 🪨 + 🎸 back to work on Monday

Or maybe push my flight a few days ✈️

Orange you glad it’s summer ☀️🌴

Been documenting (almost) everything + will be sharing more as the week goes (probably when I’m back actually😅)

I went from sitting at a desk for 8hrs a day,

putting $$ in someone else's pocket,

to completely designing my days.

While I spend my time with my puppy.

+ live my best life.

Because anything is possible with

-hard work
-consistency
-coachability
-effort
-the right mindset

So, feel like lining someone else's pockets today? Or lining your own?
——

Will you run or will you rise?

We often get put into fight or flight when we desperately want to make a change that is very much outside of our comfort zone.

With that fight or flight response, we can either:

-forget everything we've known and RUN away.
OR
-face everything that's scary and RISE above + beyond.

I'm choosing to rise, what about you?

——

I wish I had known...

⚠️ who I would become on this journey...
⚠️ what it took to get this off the ground...
⚠️ when it's not all rainbows + butterflies, keep going...
⚠️ where I would end up after a few years...
⚠️ why this would be the most transformational experience...
⚠️ how I would feel during the journey of entrepreneurship...

Before starting to work online.

But had I known all of that, there would be no magic on the journey✨

Nothing changes if nothing changes

It's as simple as that. Want something different to happen?
