I woke up feeling like an alien had slipped a psychotropic drug into my morning tea, as if an existential crisis were simmering in my brain.
No clear trigger. No life-altering event.
Just a heavy, unshakable fog.
Everything felt... off.
My mood.
My perception.
My drive.
This concoction of angst and confusion created a low hum dread - a nagging sense that something wasn’t right.
But the day didn’t care. It demanded me to be on.
✅ Content to create ✅ A launch to design ✅ Workout to start
✅ AI to integrate ✅ Clients to onboard ✅ Strategy to plan
✅ Family to engage ✅ Boundaries to set—and keep
Not necessarily in this order. 🫢
Then, my inner voice chimed in: What are you doing? Do you really have what it takes?
My initial, adamant response? Nope.
Hello, doubt… what opportunity have you slipped into my morning tea? What's the hidden message here? When doubt shows up, I pay attention.
I am prepared and willing to feel doubt. I know when I take action, my nervous system may go on the defensive—en garde doubt.
But then—next-level me steps in with a strong comeback: Is that true? Questioning my momentary perception of doubt.
These are all things I want to do. Things I choose to do. Things that expand my power, courage, and resilience—if I just take action.
Kind of like working out when your body says, Nah, let’s lay on the couch instead. But then you finish, and that surge of strength? It’s electric.⚡
So, I did what I always do when doubt tries to take the wheel: I took action.
I acted with my next-level self in mind. What would she do? And I did it.
This is how I scale my business, and my personal capacity. I step into that next level without feeling “ready”.
The Myth vs. The Truth
Myth: You have to be fully ready before stepping into your next-level self or business.
Truth: Readiness is a mirage. You don’t need to wait—you just need to show up as that next-level version of you.
Simple? Yes.
Easy? Hell no.
But let’s be real—easy doesn’t get you to the finish line.
Next Time Doubt Shows Up, Remind Yourself:
If you wait until you feel ready to step into your next-level success, business, or self… it won’t happen.
Don’t wait.
Act as if you already are that bold, powerful, next-level version of yourself.
Show up now.
And when you do?
Tell me—what shift did you notice?
