I want to share something personal today. There was a time in my life when things felt really heavy. I remember driving on the highway and having intrusive thoughts about crashing my car because life felt like it had no meaning. But something inside me still cared enough not to. Even though I didn’t care about my life in that moment, I cared about the people around me. And that stopped the thought in its tracks. Looking back now, I understand everything is energy, I see it differently. That wasn’t truly me. It was the energy I was in. Almost like being dropped into a town you never meant to visit. And I see this happen to entrepreneurs all the time. When you’re building something online, it can feel lonely. You question yourself. You wonder if it’s even working. You carry so much on your shoulders. And sometimes your mind can take you to really dark places. But here’s something I’ve learned. Those thoughts aren’t always telling the truth. Sometimes they’re just signposts telling you the energy you’re in isn’t supportive. You’re just in the wrong town or the upside down in stranger things. And the great thing is… You don’t have to stay there. There are always signs pointing somewhere better: • being around people who get what you’re going through • learning how to calm your nervous system • remembering why you started (this has kept me going) • reconnecting with yourself again Small changes. Moment by moment. Choice by choice. That’s actually one of the reasons I created Embody Her Glow. It’s a space for women navigating anxiety, hormones, and the emotional ups and downs of life and business to come back to themselves again. To remember they’re not broken. Sometimes they’ve just been trying to build their life while stuck in the wrong energy. And together we start following the signs that lead somewhere better. If you’ve ever felt this while building your business, I’m curious: What has been the hardest part of the journey for you lately?

This month inside Embody Her Glow we’re exploring the theme of awakening our energy. And something I see come up again and again for women in midlife is this: Lack of boundaries. So many of us are used to covering everyone else’s needs first. We’re supporting our kids, partners, parents, work, friends… sometimes it can feel like we’re trying to put out several fires at the same time. And somewhere along the way, our own needs fall to the bottom of the list. It often comes from a loving place. We want to help. We want to be there for the people we care about. But over time, constantly giving without boundaries can leave us feeling: • depleted • drained • unappreciated • unseen This is something my members and I talk about often. Not just the exhaustion… but also how hard it feels to actually set boundaries. Many of us were never really taught how to do that. Or we worry that setting boundaries might disappoint someone, upset someone, or make us seem selfish. Boundaries are one of the most loving things we can offer both to ourselves and the people in our lives. When we protect our energy, we can actually show up more present, more patient, and more connected. Not from a place of exhaustion… but from a place of fullness. So I’m curious to know what you think: 💛 Do you find it difficult to set boundaries? And if so… • Which boundaries feel the hardest for you to set? • And with whom do you find it most difficult? I’ll go first… boundaries with my 9yr old daughter feel the hardest, because I want to give her everything. If you’re craving a space where you can explore things like boundaries, energy, hormones, and emotional wellbeing with other women who truly get it, I created Embody Her Glow for that reason. You can take a peek here and see if it feels aligned for you: ✨ https://www.skool.com/embody-her-glow-5555/about Gaby

⚠️ (Yes, swearing included. If that offends you, I’m probably not your jam.) I’m so effin’ grateful I kept THE BACKROOM community at $1. I remember once debating whether to make it free so it could grow faster… but honestly, I’m so glad I didn’t. I keep seeing posts about free communities, especially this one with big numbers and growing fast, dealing with spam, trolls, poop in the comments, people causing drama… moderators spending more time policing the place than actually enjoying the space... That must absolutely suck My community hasn’t grown at lightning speed, but d’ya know what it also hasn’t had? One single dickhead. And for that, I am truly GRATEFUL So yeah… if you’re not a dickhead, you’re very welcome here. Turns out $1 buys a surprisingly high level of HUMAN decency. WOOPING TO THE THE $1 DICKHEAD FILTER 😝

Today is the day to share about communities other than your own that you think are valuable and that others would benefit from. IN THE COMMENTS BELOW: please share the name of the group/owner and a link as well as an explanation of why you think it is an amazing place. Don't just copy and paste the About page... 😉 Also, make sure you tag or DM the owner if they are not in this group and let them know. you mentioned them here. I guarantee, you will make their day and quite possibly their weekend! Posts in the main feed will be deleted. You have been warned... 😉

Both my communities are next to each other in my category (spirituality) at the moment... it is like they are battling it out! lols Who will win? Has anyone else been in a similar situation? Someone said they sounded the same the other day. Would love some feedback on if you think there is enough contrast? Ease Within Dream Life
