Don’t let someone else’s discomfort or their nervous system response make you question your worth or your purpose. Sometimes your confidence, your growth, your presence activates a nervous system response in them that they don’t understand. That’s not yours to carry. You ever notice…people don’t question you when you’re playing small? But the moment you start owning who you are…it can make some people uncomfortable. Not because you’re doing anything wrongbut because it disrupts what feels familiar to them. 👉🏽 You don’t need to shrink to be accepted 👉🏽 You don’t need to dim yourself to make others comfortable This is just your current chapter… not your final destination. And making yourself smaller to regulate other people?That only keeps you stuck. Have you ever caught yourself shrinking in a moment like that?

I've been thinking about the metrics that I want to focus on moving forward and how I want to judge success. The goal of this community has always been visibility and meaningful connections. As I've seen other communities grow faster, sometimes it's been a struggle to maintain the bar of only allowing Skoolers in. I get tons of requests every day that I turn down. The vanity metrics could be a lot higher. The reason I've stayed true to the original intention of the group is because I honestly believe that it is the right decision in the long-run and that it directly relates to the quality of the group as a whole - and it doesn't negatively affect anyone's visibility because we are a public group that can be seen by anyone. As I was thinking more about what to watch in terms of metrics, I decided to take a look at a few other larger communities to evaluate where we stand in terms of active members, which I believe is an important indicator of the health of your community. These screenshots below were taken within minutes of each other. Yes, this only represents that people are online in Skool and not necessarily this community, but if people aren't logging in to Skool at all, that's an even bigger problem. So, in a nutshell, I'm moving forward with my commitment to make this a community for Skoolers only, and I hope that at the end of the day, the quality of the interactions that you have in the community, during masterclasses, and in the live meetups will continue to prove that this is the right decision.

You get praised for pushing through. For being the one who “handles it.” For showing up no matter how tired you are. For doing it all… even when you’re running on empty. And no one means harm by it. Your family, your friends, your boss…they’re recognizing your strength. But somewhere along the way…that recognition turns into identity.

But here’s the truth most women need to hear: You don’t have to keep proving your strength by pushing past your limits. This week… I’m not asking you to stop growing. I’m not asking you to stop building. I’m not asking you to stop taking one “close the loop” action at a time. But I do want you to notice this: 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐚 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐮𝐩…𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩. That second one isn’t discipline. It’s a pattern that’s been wired into you. And once you see it…you get to start doing it differently. Give yourself grace this week. Not because you’re falling behind…but because you’re learning how to show up without running yourself into the ground.

You don’t want to miss this call with @Dr. Stephanie Murauskas about Closing the Loop After hearing this, something really clicked for me. The answer isn’t doing more. It's not pushing harder. And it’s definitely not starting over again. It’s learning how to take small, steady actions that actually fit your real life. Not perfect. Not overwhelming. Just consistent enough to rebuild trust in yourself again. Because that’s what’s really missing. Not ability. Not intelligence. Just trust in yourself to follow through. And if you’ve been stuck in that cycle. This is the conversation you don’t want to miss. We’re breaking it down simply on Today at 12 PM Pacific So you can finally understand what’s been holding you back and what to do instead. No fluff. No pressure. Just something real you can actually use. If this is the kind of shift you’ve been needing, Access HERE

This one hit me hard. Most women think the problem is a lack of motivation. Or discipline. Or consistency. But what if that’s not it? What if the real issue is this: You’ve been stuck in learning mode for too long. Watching. Reading. Trying to “figure it out” before you take action. And then when it’s time to actually do the thing, it suddenly feels heavy, confusing, and overwhelming. So you pause. Not because you’re lazy, but because your brain is overloaded. No one really talks about this part. But we’re going to on Tuesday, April 14, at 12 PM Pacific inside the community. with @Dr. Stephanie Murauskas Access inside my community here: https://www.2ndactnow.com/loop If this feels like you, just say “me.” I think many women are dealing with this quietly.
