My inner critic has been working overtime lately. "You're not smart enough for this." "Other people are doing it better." "You're going to fail and everyone will see." It got so loud this week that I actually stopped working on content I was excited about. Just froze. Convinced myself it wasn't good enough. Then I did something simple but powerful: I asked myself, "Whose voice is this really?" Because it's not God's. He doesn't shame me into hiding. He doesn't compare me to others. He doesn't tell me I'm not enough. That voice? That's the enemy trying to silence what God wants to do through me. So I'm learning to recognise it for what it is — and choose to listen to a different voice. The one that says: "You're exactly who I made you to be. Now go do what I called you to do." ❓How do you recognise when your inner critic is lying to you — and what truth do you speak back?

If today feels slower than you hoped, I want to gently remind you of something that often gets lost in online spaces: Slow does not mean stalled. Quiet does not mean unfruitful. And unseen does not mean insignificant. There are seasons where nothing looks impressive from the outside, yet something very real is happening beneath the surface. Roots are forming. Alignment is deepening. Capacity is being built. If all you managed today was thinking, praying, learning quietly, or choosing rest instead of force — that still counts. It counts more than you’ve been taught to believe. You are not behind. You are not late. You are not failing at this. You are becoming — and becoming takes time. If this met you where you are, you can leave a 🌱 below. No explanation needed.

Can I be honest? Sometimes growth terrifies me. I want the income, yes. But I also fear what comes with it: More visibility. More responsibility. More people watching. What if I can't handle it? What if it grows faster than my capacity? What if success costs me my peace? This is why I love what we're building here. Because we're not just chasing growth. We're learning to *hold* growth. To build income that doesn't destroy our margin. To scale in ways that feel sustainable. To say yes to opportunity without saying no to rest. Growth doesn't have to be disruptive. It can be gentle. And I'm learning to trust that the God who opens doors also equips us to walk through them. What scares you most about growth?
