What we call small is often what lasts.

I genuinely love celebrating my progress. When I finish this group of posts, I’m going to cheer for myself. Out loud. Yes, actually say it, great job, Debbie. Somewhere along the way we learned celebration only counts at the finish line. I get it, that moment is fun. But why rush past the roses on the way there?

Sustainability is built through acknowledgment, not pressure.

I see this all the time in health. A woman loses a pound and feels disappointed because of how far she thinks she still has to go. That mindset was taught to us. You’re good enough when you’ve done more, lost more, proven more. I call BS on that. Progress deserves applause while it’s happening.

Speak your wins. Honor your steps.
The question isn’t how fast you get there, it’s who you’re doing it for.

How do you want to experience your life, for others, or for yourself?

If you felt that, I see you.

Want to share a baby win?? I'm listening :)

Ok this was way too fun 😄
An amazing woman I follow did this, and I had to try it.

I created a little character version of me and my work, and honestly; it made me smile way more than I expected.

So now I’m curious 👀

Ladies, show me what you’ve got.
Create a character of you.

Your business.
Your passion.
Your purpose.
Your love.
Your magic.

Serious, playful, soulful, bold, quirky, all of it counts.

Drop it in the comments or tag me, I want to see you through your own lens 💙

Who would your character be?

What works now isn’t accidental, it’s intentional.

I’ve noticed something as I walk beside women in this season. The quiet wins, the steady ones, are carrying more power than the big dramatic pushes ever did. Not by luck. By design. And it always brings me back to the same question, why are we pushing in the first place?

When the root is fear, fear of failing, fear of falling behind, fear of not keeping up with the younger woman next to you, the body pays the price. That’s scarcity running the strategy. Or the belief that once you prove enough, then you’ll be worthy. I know that voice well.

The shift happens when the reason changes.

I still push when something matters. But I’m not being chased or dragged by fear. I move because passion wants expression. Because what’s meant to move through me needs momentum. I’m not forcing. I’m leading.

That’s the Inner Empire™, when you’re no longer driven, you’re directing.

Be honest, what’s really behind your push?

How do you show up for you??

Recently, Mason asked me to watch K-Pop Demon Slayers.

A musical cartoon, yes. Grandpa and I said yes, and honestly, it surprised me. The story was powerful. The demons carried visible patterns on them, and the master demon controlled them through fear and shame.

Patterns only run us when we don’t notice them.

Watching it, I caught myself reflecting on my own. How quickly do I react? Where do I default instead of deciding? When do old stories try to take the lead? This season of my life has made me much more attentive, less automatic, more intentional in how I respond.

That’s leadership from the Inner Empire™, noticing, choosing, responding differently.

I’ll ask you the same question that stayed with me.
What pattern might be ready to loosen its grip for you?

And now I’m curious, do you have kids or grandkids who are into K-Pop too?

Speed can look like strength until the body sends the invoice.

As my business grew, I learned this the hard way. When I rushed ahead, moving faster than my system could support, I almost always had to circle back, reduce load, undo, recalibrate. I notice this often with fast builds too, things move quickly, then need to be recreated, reshaped, shifted again and again. And to be clear, I’ve done that as well.

The difference now is intention.

I create with purpose, not just to produce. I build fewer projects, but they’re stable, thoughtful, and excellent, not scattered or constantly in motion. The mountain is climbed one step at a time either way.

Some paths are steep and fast. Others are steady and scenic. None are right or wrong, they’re chosen. This one happens to be mine, and I honor it.

That’s how the Inner Empire™ grows, with strength that’s aligned, not forced.

Does this feel true for you?

It’s a good reminder that our bodies don’t live in theory, they live in context.

Light, temperature, rhythm, stress, season.
All of it matters.

What supports one woman can feel completely wrong for another, even when the biology is the same. That’s not inconsistency or weakness. That’s intelligence at work.

This is why comparison never serves us and why health was never meant to be copy-and-paste.

Do you, lady. It’s about time.

There comes a point when something inside you stops asking for approval.

I didn’t always live that way. I used to worry about what others thought, how my words landed, whether my perspective would be welcomed. Somewhere along the road, especially as my body moved through this season, that fear quietly loosened its grip.

This phase changes how the female brain prioritizes, filters, and discerns.

Research around women in menopause, including the work of Mindy Pelz, shows that as hormones shift, the brain becomes less driven by external validation and more guided by internal truth. Less noise. Fewer apologies. More clarity about what actually matters.

What looks like sensitivity is often refinement.
What feels like change is often wisdom stepping forward.

That’s when leadership deepens, not louder, but truer.
That’s the Inner Empire™, when your inner guidance begins leading the way.

Sit with this.

Two women.
One honest conversation.
Zero sugarcoating.

I sat down with Sabrina on the HER Nation Podcast to talk about perimenopause, menopause, and leadership, not as a problem to fix, but as a powerful season to understand.

We talked about what actually shifts, in the body, the brain, and the way we lead, and why so many capable women feel something changing but don’t have language for it yet.

This wasn’t a podcast about decline.
It was a conversation about awareness, strategy, and support.
The kind women deserve more of.

If you’ve ever thought, something feels different, but I’m still me, this one’s for you.

What part of leadership or life feels like it’s asking for a new kind of support right now?
