I've been good at many things and failed at many others. I'm almost flipping a coin to see if it's heads or tails next.

How often do you struggle to do the things you know you need to? How often to you keep choosing short term comfort over your long term goals? Do you get stuck in making decisions based on past fears, present stress, and apathy? You want to build a better business and life, and yet you often end up choosing the easy or convenient option that doesn't align with that aim? I think this is a common problem that most of us face at one point in our life or another. But how do we change it? A simple framework that I use (because who has time for complexity), is what I call the Future State Decision Matrix. If the current you is making the wrong decisions based on past fears, then you need to step out of that version and into a version of you that is wiser, has achieved the goals you want to achieve, and who knows what steps to take to get there. This might sound strange. How can we step into our future self? The thing is you're already doing this, just based on the past where many of your mistakes are, instead of the future where your goals and aspirations exist. Once you realise this, it becomes easier to imagine this process. If you already decide based on things that no longer exist, then why not start deciding based on things that don't YET exist, but through your decisions are brought into existence? If you want to try this process out, just download the pdf. You can fill it out on your computer or phone. The point here is to practice this to the point where you can do it intuitively in your head every time you need to make an important decision you're avoiding. But start with the pdf framework for clarity. I'd also love to hear if you find it useful, and what your current biggest struggles are with your creating income from anywhere in the world? Thank you to @Bianca Vogelaar for creating such a cool space where we can all support each other to create more freedom and income in our lives.

I have a bunch of issues: overwhelm, self doubt, imposter syndrome, procrastination…..I recently heard that these are all symptoms of stress. So now my biggest goal is to become a relaxed woman 😎

I'm going through a exciting / character building time right now. My Skool is growing steadily as well as my 1:1 support, however I have a 4k remote role coming to the end at the end of this month and I have decided to go all in on Skool coaching instead of taking on any more remote work. So scary/exciting/stressful!

The other day I was listening to this video while going for a walk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sWLQwSp9Ns&t=516s And honestly, it came at the perfect moment. I had been feeling a bit overwhelmed. You know that feeling when you're working on so many things: building something, creating content, setting up systems, planning the next steps, but the results aren’t really visible yet. It can make you wonder if you're actually moving forward, or if you're just… staying busy. While listening, they used an analogy that really stuck with me: building a business is like growing a plant. 🌱 When you first plant a seed, nothing happens for a while. You water it, you give it sunlight, you take care of it… and still, from the outside, it just looks like a pot of soil. Days pass, sometimes weeks, and you start wondering if anything is actually happening. It can feel frustrating, because you’re putting in the effort but there’s no visible proof yet that it’s working. 🤷‍♀️ But what we often forget is that a lot is happening under the surface. The seed is opening, the roots are growing, the foundation is forming. You just can’t see it yet. And if you stopped watering it just because nothing appeared above the soil, the plant would never grow. Eventually though, if you keep showing up and taking care of it, a little sprout appears. 🌱 And that tiny sprout will grow into something bigger and stronger over time. Looking back, all those invisible days of effort suddenly make sense. It reminded me that building something meaningful — a business, a skill, a new life — almost always has an invisible phase. A phase where you're learning, experimenting, trying things, improving, and staying consistent… even when the results haven’t caught up yet. So if you’re currently in a moment where it feels like you’re doing a lot but not seeing the payoff yet, maybe it’s not that nothing is happening. Maybe it just means the roots are still growing.
