The Way Appears When You Begin

In all honesty I didn’t even feel like writing a newsletter this week. I just have a lot going on. A lot of big changes and my brain is still trying to keep up. So I wrote about what happens if I don’t write this. What happens if I just did nothing at all.

The Net Appears After The Leap

The universe meets you in motion, not while you’re still deciding.

People always say, “The universe has your back.”
And yes, it does.
But not in the way we always want.

The universe doesn’t show you the net while you’re still standing on the ledge.
It waits.
It watches.

It doesn’t reveal the soft landing until after you jump through the flaming hoop.
The terrifying, inconvenient, high-stakes one.

The hoop is the moment you quit the thing that drains you.
Or send the message you’ve been scared to send.
Or walk away from the almost-aligned choice.
Or say the honest thing out loud.
Or do the big, bold thing that makes no logical sense—but feels like freedom.

And the net?
It always shows up.
But never early.

Because it’s not just about being safe.

The Version of You Who Doesn’t Ask That Anymore

My entire life I’ve loved this quote from Albert Einstein: “No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.”

It’s always been a quote I really love, but I don’t think I ever truly understood it until recently. I had gone through almost a year of painfully asking myself some of the same questions over and over again.

I always thought Einstein meant you had to change your perspective on something and look at it in a different way because you can’t have the same mindset to solve a problem as you did to create the problem. It never occurred to me that what it really means is so much more than changing your perspective.

You don’t just need a better answer to the same question or problem you’ve been trying to solve—you need to become the version of you who no longer asks the question.

The Most Valuable Thing You’ll Ever Have

The most valuable thing you will ever have is self-worth.
It’s the foundation for everything else and thus for how much you’re able to enjoy your life.

When you have high self-worth, you believe you deserve to be fully present.
You allow yourself to enjoy the moment in front of you.

High self-worth equals high self-respect.
It creates a higher level of gratitude—and a higher level of happiness.

High self-worth means:
You know you deserve happiness.
You deserve peace.
You deserve a home that’s aligned for you.
A relationship that feels right, not forced.
Taking action like getting out of debt and building savings—because you value your future self…..

Softness Is The Doorway

Softness Is The Doorway

It’s not showing up
because you’re still holding on.

Holding on so tightly what you really want can't reach you.
Holding onto the stories that say you have to earn ease, prove your worth, chase to be chosen. Holding onto the idea you have to work harder for more money, stay connected to the wrong people just in case it leads somewhere (it won't. closed doors don't open from knocking longer).

You’re not just holding patterns—you’re holding people who show up half-hearted.
You’re holding fear like it’s the only thing that’s ever stayed.

You're holding worry because it feels safe.
You’re holding control because receiving never felt safe.

And beneath it all?

What you know but you just don't want to face:
Can I trust life to hold me if I stop gripping so hard?
