Still womb side. 40 weeks tomorrow. The journey of becoming. Grandma says another 3-4 days. Dad thinks today. Mom wants him to come out now and has been with me for the last two days. And, we’re flowing through each moment embracing it as possibly our last all while welcoming in the beginning of our new life as three. We’re ready whenever you are little one.
Seeing Income Reports 💰🤔 but, have you thought about this one thing? In marketing so many people use income reports but they often don’t include one thing.... EXPENSES & TAXES! I 100% understand the value behind seeing what’s truly possibly, how easily money can be generated, the fluctuations of money in business, and the progression of a business as you grow. But when people share income reports without transparency of what’s behind that number. Its straight up not🙅🏻‍♀️ helpful. Nor, reality. THEY DON’T TAKE ALL THAT 💰HOME. When you see people posting their income without sharing what their💰 expenses are; I would lead with caution. You can create $50,000 with nearly no expenses depending on your business module but you could also create $50,000 and have to pay over 40% of that in taxes then expenses on top of that leaving them a small amount at the end of the day to take home. Expenses can range from any amount depending on if you have a team, paid ads, a high level coach your working with, operation fees, and processing fees.... the list can be long! Don’t be sold on income reports if they don’t share the other side to what created the income! Seeing what’s possible in income is great- truly there’s so much 💰 available to receive. But seeing the full picture gives you the realistic approach to what that could look like in your life. 😘
What if you love what you do and have no time? 🙅🏻‍♀️ There is a common theme in the entrepreneurial world where you begin doing what you love but there is no time left at the end of the day to Simply be. From one meeting to the next. From one edit to the next. From one email to the next. From one client to the next. From one project to the next. There’s no time. You’re left missing commitments. You haven’t seen friends and giggled for the longest time. Your bank account may be growing but the last time you connected with yourself was months ago. Your nutrition has been flown out the window and your self care ritual is long gone. But you keep going. Avoiding. Saying tomorrow. Next week. After this project. You don’t know the way out or even aware how it’s possible. You may feel on top of the world because you finally hit that success point.... and now it’s all you do. There’s short breaks in your day but never enough time to come into deep embodiment. The embodiment you craved so deeply and that’s why you started to discover what you love to do. Now you have it, but your time you don’t. The stress is piling and soon it will crack. What’s life or business without time? You can work your life away building a business or you can design your business around your life.
𝟛 𝕄𝕚𝕟𝕦𝕥𝕖 𝕡𝕣𝕒𝕔𝕥𝕚𝕔𝕖 𝕨𝕙𝕖𝕟 𝕖𝕩𝕡𝕖𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕟𝕔𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕨𝕙𝕖𝕝𝕞 𝕠𝕣 𝕤𝕥𝕣𝕖𝕤𝕤 ✨ These two symptoms that come into our life, usually flooding, are a sign of a disconnect. HERE’S HOW TO REBALANCE 👇🏼 Sometimes large and sometimes small. But no matter the size they are coming in as a nudge to reconnect. It may feel foggy of what the cause could be. Or possibly completely absent or avoidance. And, that is okay. 💋 Come back to your breath. And, the way will be shown. When we are working with the energies of stress and overwhelm we are less likely to see the imbalance because our body is in fight or flight. (Aka our natural response when our body thinks it’s in danger). This is one of the two nervous systems we can be operating from. The breath will pull you back to rest and digest. The other nervous system of being calm, centred, and harmony. Where your body is producing serotonin and other happy hormones that promote radiance. My go to breath technique to rebalance the nervous system and tap into balancing our delicious hormones that govern so much in our being is this one: Finding a comfortable seat wherever you are. Inhale through the nostrils for a count of 4. Pause. Exhale through the nostrils for a count of 4. Pause. Repeat. Practice this breath cycle for as little as 3 minutes to begin releasing stress/overwhelm and work up to 11 minutes to begin shifting the way your body reacts to stress or overwhelm. From here, after you finish the time you wish to sit for. Ask yourself “what do I need to do right now to come back into balance in (life, business, work)?” Allow some space for the answer to come through. If it doesn’t, ask again. It takes roughly 3 minutes to shift from one nervous system to the other. And the quickest way is through breath. Slowing it down and connecting in.

Aka growing/scaling.....your nervous system and endocrine system NEED to be strong and vibrant to withhold that energy. It’s why so many people burn out and can’t sustain the energy. This is where time and space for integration and embodiment as extremely important for long term success.
