Wow, it is officially 2025 and I am sitting down with a cup of coffee writing this blog post to God-knows-who. I’ve decided I want to do more writing and podcasting as a way of reflecting and let’s be honest, free therapy. I’d love to start by saying- like many of us, I have no idea what i’m doing… Haha and I think that’s a great place to start!
Last year I was really impressed with myself around the middle of the year. I had done a 30-day challenge of daily posting on Youtube which led to lots of money in Google ads, over 2,000 new subscribers, a newly launched private community Dream Life Academy, AND the creation of new products that were actually selling! I thought “WOW, finally, i’m actually doing it!” Women were signing up for one-on-one coaching with me, my videos were performing well, i felt like I was offering value to the collective and starting to see money for that value.
BUT THEN… I might have dropped the ball. I thought for sure I had crossed the threshold from wantrepreneur to entrepreneur, but I started feeling burnt out. UGH. Making daily videos, leading a private community, trying to run an online digital product store, I was feeling stretched to say the least. Wasn’t this what I wanted? I had been working for YEARS creating content and perfecting my messaging, but then when I finally started to see movement and growth in my business, I felt my internal self yelling “STOP!”
Let’s be honest, I had a fear of success. A fear that I would never have any freetime (which I love my freetime), a fear that I would have to keep showing up because people were finally watching, a fear that I was no longer resonating with the content I was creating. And so what did I do? I ghosted my community and stopped showing up… so embarrassing.
Why am I saying all of this? I want to normalize the fact that it’s not always up, and up, and up. I am having to stretch, expand, and evolve to be able to hold these dreams. Hell, I am the “Dream Life Creation” girl saying I need to work on holding space for everything I asked for! God finally put my dreams on a silver platter right in front of my face and I said “You know what… I’m tired. I think i’m gonna take a nap.” WHAT?!
What you’re asking for is going to come, but will you be ready? This year I am dedicating myself to being ready. I am going to keep working on the things that I had success in last year 1. Selling my digital products 2. Having an online community 3. Showing up with purpose in my content 4. Focusing on offering value! I have no idea what this new year will bring, but no matter what happens I have to try.
I want to leave you with this: my affirmation for the year. “Love yourself enough to do it.” I am going to show myself how much I love myself by going after everything I desire. I am going to work on my body, mind, and spirit because I love myself enough to do it. I am going to be successful in my business because I love myself enough to do it. I am going to show up for myself and my goals because I love myself enough to do it. Love yourself enough to try this year. Alright beautiful, thats all I have for you today. I hope this little piece of my mind was relevant and helpful. Keep creating your dream life, and Happy New Year <3
