YOU’VE FUCKING GOT THIS: A re-introduction message to light the fire under you
Catalyst
Consider this a re-introduction.
What you may see:
Soft pink branding colors, Multipassionate, serial entrepreneur, coffee lover, dog-mama, happily married, highly educated, wild Friday night connoisseur of books, Netflix, and tea.
This is the girl I chose to be.
Resilient -- Not Broken
Can I be really freaking raw with you?
There’s a lot of darkness under the seams of my new self. If you’ve ever seen The Nightmare Before Christmas (if you haven’t, stop reading and watch first!), Sally is my girl. Playing into the metaphor, I've stitched myself up over and over again, but continue to be resilient.
Not. Broken.
We all have some darkness. And let’s face it, if you’re here reading this, you also found some resilience in you to stitch yourself back up and keep going.
[Pause]
I want to take a moment and give you so much fucking credit for that!
I know how hard it is. You might even still have days or moments when you think back on things that have happened -- hardly believing that it happened, yet even harder to believe that you actually made it through when in the moment you didn’t feel strong enough.
I am sincerely proud of you.
So, why am I saying all this?
You’ll see me talk about Life + Business + Mindset.
You’ll hear me say that you are not a one-size-fits-all.
You’ll see me prove that you can be Multipassionate AND Successful.
But overall, there is a greater catalytic purpose here.
Under the Seams
I have been in the middle of parental fights of people who truly were unhappy for years.
I was born into a long hereditary line of alcoholics and abuse.
I visited family in rehab facilities and understood way more than they had hoped.
I was the girl who went to school with puffy eyes as a means to escape home-life.
I experienced my best friend’s death at 17 that crippled me with grief.
I’ve held the hands of friends battling addiction and suicide.
On the other hand...
I learned to look for examples of what I wanted a relationship to look like.
I learned that nothing good came from the bottom of a bottle.
I learned that no vice will help you find what you’re actually looking for.
I learned to fuel myself with knowledge and put myself through college and grad school.
I learned so many lessons from grief, but even more, I learned how to help others grieving.
I learned deeply what people really wanted.
I learned deeply what I didn’t want, and in that, what I truly wanted.
My family often says that I beat the odds. That’s really stuck with me. Because I now see it in everything I’ve done so far.
I often tell my story of being Multipassionate and not wanting to choose just one thing. Or how I’ve gone against the grain of what you’re brought up thinking you “should” do.
It sheds a new light on my favorite #WATCHME!
Catalyst -- My Mission & Message
The point of this re-introduction is to essentially light a fire under your ass.
Despite the darkness we’ve been through -- whether you came out on top or suffered through the worst of it -- you’re here today.
And whether you want to admit it or not, you are resilient AF.
You get to decide how you re-introduce yourself too. Every. Single. Day.
Today, you can decide to redesign your entire life. You can choose to be victim to your past. You can choose to take the lessons and become someone greater.
I made the decision that all these experiences taught me who I didn’t want to be. I knew I wanted something greater for my life and I was going to make it happen.
This is what it means to Create a Life By Design.
So whether you’re starting over today or you’ve already started creating the life that you desire…
YOU’VE FUCKING GOT THIS!
Stitch yourself back up -- you are not broken.
It’s time to go after what you really want!
That feeling in the pit of your stomach that is telling you that you are meant for so much more -- USE IT AS FUEL. It is uncomfortable for a reason. Stop ignoring it, playing small, pushing it away. At midnight, when you lie wide awake, mind racing, thinking of this crazy life that you REALLY want. I have news for you…
It wants you too.
