Many of my clients have shared that making content is a top source of stress for them.

I get it. You didn’t start a business or become an artist or whatever, to also be performing on social media all day long.

You want to focus on your work, but today’s market demands you be more online and visible in order to be seen and make sales.

My hack: just do your work online.

Think of that ONE human being that you KNOW you can help.

Speak to them directly and tune out everything else.

(I give you permission to ignore all the distractions).

However big or small of a step, taking action is taking action and over time it compounds into real results.

Whatever you would say to a client, or an audience member, just slap it up on a blank canvas and send it.

Don’t think so hard about it.

Put a timer on your content session (I recommend no more than 10 minutes) and when it’s done, you’re done.

The whole damn world is out here creating cringy content.

Don’t let it stress you out.

Have fun with it. Say what you need to say and move on.

The right people will find you and the others will show themselves to the door.

What’s your cringiest piece of content?

Let’s normalize being human and move on with changing lives already.

I vividly remember the years of feeling “behind” in business.

Like there was never enough time in the day to catch up to those ahead of me.

Like I just needed one more skill or one more hour of time to get a thing done.

Like if ii could just get the flow down, and get the ads running correctly and have the right pics and fonts and timing that then I would finally hit some mystical jackpot and arrive at a place where I had it all figured out.

Spoiler: that thinking didn’t pan out.

The truth is we create our daily reality and that flow of systems is an internal decision that we get to make first.

It took me a long time to figure this out so I won’t pretend I am some master.

I am a person who kept going when it got hard and who learned from decades of efforting that the transformation we seek is an inside job.

For me it was actually about slowing down to acknowledge my work and be proud.

Success and financial flow began to happen when I slowed down to honor myself and make space for the healing that is inextricably linked to entrepreneurship.

That mindset shift of just moving with intention and being present helped me align things in a way that felt natural and expansive.

That was the jackpot I didn’t know I needed.

You are not behind.

You are becoming the person who walks in her highest self and lives a dream instead of staying stuck.

Give yourself grace.

Honor the process.

Trust me that it will work out.

Listen to Ep. 95: Simplify to Sell

There comes a moment in every solopreneur journey when you have to pause and ask: Is this effort actually aligned with what I set out to create? Or am I just doing what I “should,” chasing every shiny tactic, and exhausting myself in the process?I...
