Eating at my computer as I worked through lunch, imagining what it would be like to be able to sleep in or go to a noon workout or leave work early for a long weekend without getting grief like it was just yesterday.
When I started my business I didn’t have massive money goals or dreams of being on world stages. I had dreams of really living. Of feeling… free. While still being of service and feeling like I was living on purpose.
I salivated over the idea of matching my $45k legal salary while having more time freedom and serving people in a way that felt more impactful.
After a decade of experience in nonprofits, advocacy centers, prisons, mental institutions, courtrooms… I was ready to shift from paradigms of survival and need to a reality of thriving and desire.
I was ready to Be the change I wanted to see in the world
And stand as a mirror, a lighthouse, for those who wanted to join me.
7 years later and my life and business exists at a frequency of thriving and desire and havingness I couldn’t have even known how to ask for when I left my legal career with just a dream on my heArt.
I’ve sustained and scaled in alignment with my vision, my embodiment, every step of the way. My business has evolved with me. And has held me through some… pretty gnarly moments… of life.
What I am more proud of than the humans I’ve served and the milestones I’ve hit is that… my business feels better and better with every passing year and has made me more me, rather than disconnecting me from me. Because of my devotion and drive to show up to my business in alignment and integrity and Truth. Even when it has been hard, when it has looked like it isn’t working (it’s always working), or when there was a dangling carrot in front of me that was so tempting to bite but wasn’t the real reward I desired.
When you know who you are and what you desire and are unavailable to show up as anything but that… success is inevitable. And you can skip all the ego death drama / burn out and burn down to rebuild stages of business. Because you built in alignment from the start. 😏
