𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗡 📅 Monday 17th August, 6pm UK 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 I'm going live with a brand new training: how living from your genius — not a business plan — is what actually builds something that lasts. I'll be walking through the exact thread that took me from a career in IT, through ten years in the prison system, to writing two books, to the work I do now. Not as a "here's my origin story" thing — as a working example of the framework itself, so you can go find your own thread while I'm talking through mine. The training is being hosted by Mary Schiller so that her community gets to join us. There will be plenty of time for Q&A. 𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 Because the thing you think disqualifies you is probably the thing that qualifies you most — and this is where you find out which. You'll also get the Genius Quiz as part of it — five questions, about two minutes, a way to see your own thread in black and white, plus a 15 min breakthrough call for anyone who shows up live and wants help implementing their genius. 🔗 Register here Love and Activation, MamaJ 💫

𝗪𝗜𝗡 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸 @Rachel Harmsworth felt "salesy" before she even sent the messages. She DM'd a batch of transformational coaches on LinkedIn inviting them to her workshop — uncomfortable right up until it wasn't. Warm replies came back. 𝟯 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱. Here's the lesson I want us to carry into this final week, though — it's not about the DMs. Midweek, Rachel hit a wall comparing her numbers to everyone else's. She wasn't wrong that it stung. What mattered was what happened next: @Lindsey Elliott told her, "Never assess or make decisions when your mind is talking sh*t to you." Mary added, "Looking out the lens of a low mood is not an accurate picture." Yep! A bad mood is not a measuring stick. If this week you catch yourself comparing your day whatever to someone else's highlight reel — that's the moment to stop and ask if you're seeing clearly, or seeing through a dip. This is the final stretch. Not a new sprint — just the same honest practice, one more week. Plus a big shout-out to @Anastasia Dobrovolschi who hosted her first 3PGB live event. Not many showed up but in her words, "the best ones did". We had lovely chats, a great lunch and a walk around the incredible forest area close by. 👉 Today's lesson is live in the Classroom. What's one thing you're bringing into this final week? 🔥

Happy Birthday, dear Mama J ❤️ Today we’re celebrating not only the day you were born, but the incredible gift your life has been to so many of us. Thank you for seeing beyond people’s stories and reminding us of who we truly are. Your love, wisdom, humility, and unwavering faith have touched my life in ways that are difficult to put into words. You have been a guide, a teacher, a safe place, and, above all, a beautiful example of what it looks like to live from love. Thank you for believing in me, encouraging me, and walking alongside me through so many moments of growth. So much of what I now share with others has been nourished by the love and understanding you’ve so generously shared with me. The world is a better place because you are in it. Happy Birthday, Mama J. You are deeply loved, deeply appreciated, and such a precious gift to all of us. With all my love, Anastasia ❤️

Today I had a beautiful conversation with @MamaJ Hollows during the Community Café in the 3PGB community. It was just the two of us, which gave us space to catch up properly after being together in Prague for the Listening Summit. One thing that struck me was how powerful it is to speak with someone I trust deeply and who doesn’t judge me. It creates a space where I can hear myself more clearly and notice growth that I can feel internally but haven’t fully recognized intellectually yet. During our conversation, I realized that for quite some time coaches in my network have been coming to me for support with their clients, difficult coaching situations, questions around confidence, authority, communicating insights, measuring impact, and stepping more fully into their power as coaches. This has been happening so naturally that I hadn’t stopped to recognize it as a significant skill and contribution. ( New level unlocked 🔓 welcoming this new chapter into my life with openness and curiosity 🥰) As I shared what has been unfolding in my life over the past months, Mama J reflected back something I couldn’t quite see for myself: how much confidence I have developed as a coach. She mirrored the way I now speak about my work, the impact I have on people, and the certainty with which I show up in the world. I know for sure that it has a lot to do with me being part of this group for the past year showing up consistently and being open to listen and learn with Mama J and other members here, thank you all so much 🙏🏻 There is something incredibly powerful about being seen by someone you admire, trust, and consider a role model. When they reflect your growth back to you, it provides a deeper sense of confidence, steadiness, trust, and backbone. I also loved hearing about the new areas of life Mama J is exploring and witnessing her own growth and evolution. My heart is full of gratitude for our friendship and for the opportunity to share such honest conversations together.

It's FriYAY!! Before you post your five things today, pause for a moment to reflect on your week. This is the bit most people skip. They finish Friday, close the laptop, and move straight into the weekend without ever asking the question that makes next week better than this one. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 — 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆'𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀: 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻'𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗮 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝘁. Action without reflection is just busy. The daily updates you've been posting aren't just accountability, they're data. Your data. About what actually moves you, what drains you, where your resistance lives, and what you're capable of when you decide to show up anyway. But data only becomes insight when you stop and read it. So today, before you write your update, go back and read your posts from this week. Not to judge them. Just to notice. - What showed up more than once? - What surprised you? - Where did you do better than you thought — and where are you still making the same excuse? Not with self-criticism. Just self-knowledge. Self-knowledge is what changes how you work next week, next month, and beyond. 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘂𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆: ✅ What I did 🚧 What got in my way 🤔 Where I feel stuck 💚 Where I feel good And one question to close the week: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗻'𝘁 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆? Rest well this weekend. You earned it. See you Monday. 🔥
