Hellloooo my favorite!

Happy end of the week, mid-month and mid-year!

How are things cooking up for you? Melting away in the height of summer peak 🥵 or {depending where you live} freezing your nose in the depths of winter? 🥶

I can hardly deal with this heat, lemme tell you but also SO grateful for so many things this summer.☀️

There is one of them that I want to talk about today, and actually ask *you* a question related to it:

👉🏼 If you ever thought about having an online biz, what stopped you from going for it?

or

👉🏼 If you already have one up and running, but the “running” part is more like a slow motion backwards movement, what do you feel is stopping you from going all in with it and making those forward, steady and power motions?

Asking you this my love, because a week and a half ago… oh, the wave of gratefulness I felt for my biz!
{and I believe everybody needs to experience this}

✈️🗽You see… I went on a quick trip to NYC.

And shockingly – but not really – I came back with the flu!

✨the✨fucking✨flu!✨

I can’t even remember the last time I had fever as an adult.😑

I was appealed! Clutching my pearls. The shock!

All those memes about bad patients that just “can’t even” when they get sick… well, those were me last week.🙋🏻‍♀️ I felt as if I was at the door to pass through to the other side already. {I know, the drama 😁💁🏻‍♀️}

Yet as I was there in the midst of all the suffering and thinking that I am breathing my last days on Earth {again… drama 🎭😁} I could not NOT feel absurdly grateful for my biz at that very moment.

📍Because of it, I was able to stop everything, in a heart beat, and curl up in bed to take care of myself.🫶🏼

Clients were notified of the week’s schedule change and my immediate next move was to do a theatrical pull of the blanket over my shoulder, turn to the side and… crash. Let myself sink in to all that my body was feeling, not rush it, not try to suppress it and give her exactly what she needed – rest!

And rest I did. For 4 days in a row.

I’d just get out of bed to eat and go to the bathroom. Other than that, some random checking on Instagram and I’d turn to the side and doze off again.

I don’t think I have slept so much and for so many days in a row in my adult life.

And the most beautiful part of it all was the GUILT FREE feeling of giving my body time to recover.🫶🏼🥲

The safety and certainty that this was *exactly* what I was suppose to do in that moment. Just let my body work things out – for my health’s sake and for my business’ sake.
{both are directly related as I learned the hard way through the years}

And with that, came that certainty that — for crying out loud! — every.single.person deservers this!

💝 Everyone deserves the freedom and spaciousness to take care of themselves and their loved ones SPECIALLY and SPECIFICALLY when it is needed like this.

It all got me thinking about how 12-ish yrs ago when I first started learning about online businesses and the possibilities of it, there was this overall feeling of “it would be so good if it worked”. Like a wishful thinking of *hoping* it would work somehow, someday.

There wasn't a calm certainty that this online entrepreneurship is a PATH not a gamble... It is a path that if we follow along and stick with it, certain outcomes are just expected.

That POV wasn’t the norm at all back then.

We all had to work through a lot of fears and preconceived notions about what it meant to go against the grain.

We were all just HOPING it would work out.

Now? After 12-ish years?

My love, I can tell you with certainty and confidence that there is *no* way an online business won’t work if you want it to work.

👣 There is no more hoping for it, there is just walking the path, experiencing it and seeing the outcomes unfold.

You might have even noticed that 👉🏼 it is not for nothing that now Instagram and even Tiktok are populated with people expressing their expertise all over the place, being seeing and getting paid for it.

It is all so much more grounded.🪨 🌿
So much more certain.

And it just keeps getting better and more steady every year that passes.👏🏼

I kept thinking, those days in bed…. why aren’t WE ALL milking this goodness of opportunities out there?

Genuine question.

Tell me, YOUR POV my love — as early on on this post I asked:👇🏼

🤔 If you ever thought about having an online biz, what stopped you from going for it?

or

🤔 If you already have one up and running, but the “running” part feels stuck and dreadful, what do you feel is stopping you from going all in with it and making those forward steady, power motions?

Let me know in the comments. I’m all ears and support over here. Truly! 🎀 🤝🏼

Talk soon.

Many Smooches,
