I want to share something that's been on my mind with you. This week alone, in two separate conversations, the same dilemma has come up. How is it possible to achieve success in your career while maintaining a fulfilling relationship?
If you can relate to this concern, you're in good company. To start, quite honestly…
I want to share a story about the power of saying YES to opportunities.
Around six months ago, I stumbled upon a post from a colleague who was actively looking for a coach. In his post, he specified the kind of coaching he needed and provided some insights into his business.
While I have experience working with numerous business owners and solopreneurs, I couldn't help but feel a tad overwhelmed by his description of the ideal coach he was seeking. In fact, I questioned my own abilities and whether I was truly qualified for the role.
But, there was a voice within me…
There is a difference between knowing and BEING.
Knowing is what us very ‘smart’ people do who have the answers for how to run our lives/businesses! (But aren’t fully implementing)
BEING is….
You were born to share your beautiful light.
The part of you that’s completely, uniquely yours.
When we focus on what others are doing…
On the “rules” of how we’re supposed to show up in business or relationships…
That simple truth fades away.
Let’s remember…….

Today, my husband Mike and I are going to look for couches for our new apartment in Hoboken!
Being from Chicago, I never thought I'd hear myself say I'm moving to New Jersey (...but lesson learned....never say NEVER)!
Anywho!
As we're moving, we've been getting rid of old stuff that just doesn't feel GOOD anymore.
And I've been thinking about the idea of starting fresh - and what that really means.
I realized that acquiring things that simply feel GOOD - AKA our new couch, also requires actually recognizing and getting rid of what doesn't work.
And doing something about it.
That includes things you're perhaps inadvertently saying "yes" to, even though you don't really want them.
I'm talking thoughts, ideas, people, even identities that need to be shed in order to move into something bigger.
Better.
More connected to the truth of who you REALLY are.
When I was growing up, I was never the girl who raised her hand in class.
I was always too shy to speak up in front of a classroom of my peers.
Too fearful of possibly answering the question incorrectly.
SO...I'd just sit pretty in at my desk and listen to all the other kids who did raise their hands get chosen to answer the teacher's question....
Hi friend <3
When we were growing up, most of us took those "TYPICAL" elementary school classes...
-English
-Math
-Science
And we assumed that those were all we needed to be set up for life...right?!
I'm guessing your childhood BFF never stopped you in the halls before lunchtime to say:
"Hey friend! I'll meet you at the swingset before I head to my --How To Understand My Own Value So I Can Charge My Worth-- class!" ...>>
Usually when we say 'sending love your way' it's because someone is sick, unhappy, or god-forbid knows someone who passed away.
But why don't we send love, just to send love?
I know I never have so much love in my life that I'm like "NO MORE! I CAN'T TAKE IT! Ugh, so much kindness and goodness- it's so unfair!"
Right?!
Yet so often we're impressed with something someone does...
Or want to reach out to someone we feel needs our help...
And we don't. We stay inside our little box.
Because we...
When I used to think about "selling," whether through:
👉direct messaging people and offering to hop on a call with them
👉 or promoting my latest offering in Facebook groups
I used to be UBER afraid of IRRITATING people.
I pictured everyone thinking: "Ugh. This girl just wants to SELL me"
OR "there goes Aliya again, waving her 'buy me, buy me!' flag!"
