Gratitude for our Mentors

🔥

Stop comparing yourself to the people who are meant to teach you.

When I first joined Laura Buhl’s community, I remember feeling both inspired and a little intimidated. She made building a stationery business look so effortless. I wondered how she managed to do it all with such ease. But now, I’m sitting at Level 8, the highest level in her group, and I see it differently. She wasn’t showing perfection. She was showing persistence. And that’s what I’ve been practicing too.

Evelyn Weiss has also been a big part of my journey. I joined her group as one of the very first $9 founding members, long before any of us knew how much we’d all grow. Watching her build with so much focus and generosity has shaped how I lead and learn today.

These two women have been mentors to me, and I know they have been to you, too. They remind me that learning is never a competition. It’s a shared climb, each of us helping the next person take another step up.

Science says comparison triggers the same parts of the brain as physical pain. It creates stress and shuts down creativity. But when we shift to admiration and curiosity, the brain releases dopamine instead. That’s where growth begins.

So instead of asking,

“Why am I not there yet?”

I’m asking,

“What can I learn today that brings me closer to my dreams?”

@Laura Buhl

and

@Evelyn Weiss

, thank you for leading with heart.

And to all of you walking this path beside me, thank you for growing here, too.

Who are you grateful for?

It’s a good day to have a good day. 💛
