There’s something I’ve never really said out loud before, but I know someone out there needs to hear this today. So here we go.
There was a season in my life where I would only let myself celebrate after I made money.
Not just celebrate like… popping champagne. I mean allowing myself to rest. To take a deep breath, to feel proud, to exhale.
I’d be mid-launch, and I’d still be holding my breath, waiting for the final number to prove it was enough.
I wouldn’t let myself feel joy until I crossed a made-up finish line.
I wouldn’t let myself feel safe until I knew the Stripe notifications had done their job. I wouldn’t let myself soften -until I hit “the goal”.
And I know I’m not the only one. We tell ourselves we’re being leaders. We tell ourselves we’re being responsible. We tell ourselves we’ll relax when…
But what we’re actually doing is postponing our aliveness.
Here’s what I want to offer you today: What if your nervous system didn’t have to wait for results to feel safe? What if your pleasure didn’t have to wait until the proof? What if you let yourself feel the peace moe -not after the sale, the post, the milestone?
Because here’s the truth: Your body isn’t waiting for your business to succeed, it’s waiting for you to show her it’s already safe to be here. Right now. As you are.
Since the moment I stopped using outcomes as permission slips, I’ve led my business and life in a new way.
Less pressure, more presence. Less proving, more power. Less mirroring, more money.
If today finds you somewhere between “I’m doing it” and “I am not sure if it’s working” -let this be your permission slip to paise and feel proud.
You are leading, even when it’s quiet, even when it’s messy, even when no one sees it but you.
That counts. That’s leadership. That’s healing. That’s everything.
And this is what we’re reclaiming inside Fully Expressed. Not just the outer expression, bit the inner trust that fuels it.
Trusting your voice, your genius, your authority.
Because when a woman feels safe to celebrate herself regardless of results… she becomes unfuckable.
More on that soon. But for now -pause. Breathe. You’re doing better than you think.
