  • There's this weird obsession in our industry around avoiding burnout as an entrepreneur. . People either get super obsessed with working very few hours or crazy all day hours. . There's no conversation around Are you happy? Does work energize you and when it doesn't do you pause? . I think it comes from these books that shout at us to hustle because you can sleep when you’re dead. Successful people work hard to earn their money. . Or it comes from the books that are anti-hustle culture but glorify hardly working and that working is evil or bad. You are a successful entrepreneur once your business can entirely run yourself and it doesn't need you. (I'm eyerolling HARDCORE to this) . Because both miss the point. . You created a business to have fun. You created a business to impact lives or at least I hope you did. You created a business to create financial stability and personal wealth. . Let's focus on working when work energizes us! And not putting any rules or time or math equations on how little or how long we should be working. . Most days I work 4-5 hours and it's really deep work! . Other days I work 10ish because I'm super inspired and it's really fun for me. . The second work doesn't feel “right” I stop. Immediately. There is no rule, there is no timer, there is just my energy and listening to that energy with my entire being. . When we put rules on things, shame walks into the picture. . I don't want to add shame to my business, I just want to be happy! . And I want you to be happy, too.

  • I was pregnant then I wasn’t and it went so fast and I hid it from everyone. After my miscarriage last year, I went to Mirival Resort in Austin to sort through all of my emotions because I knew if I didn’t get away I would push them down or hide from them. I wasn’t upset but I was upset? Like deeply hurt but mixed with apathy? I didn’t understand. This is a picture of me right after I fell to my knees crying SO hard when I arrived in my room on campus. We had been trying for 8 months and I swear I paid for multiple employees at First Response pregnancy test company 😂 Bought hundreds that all spit out the same answer. No. Creed was born to be a dad. I never really sat down and thought about being a mom I just knew my love for Creed was so strong I wanted what he wanted. But I wasn’t doing this for me I was neutral really. And then in December we got pregnant. And I was happy. I was happy for Creed, I was happy to tell my parents, I was happy for everyone else but me. I didn’t acknowledge it until I was on bed rest for 6 weeks from first trimester sickness I had the rare HG disease. I was alone with my thoughts and I hated it. Growing up, the purpose of a woman was childbirth, child care and cleaning. There were no leadership roles for women that was taboo. And I resisted that with my entire being. I refused to be someone that fit that mold. I quit my job and grew a business from $12 to multi-million. That was my middle finger to saying women can only be caretakers 🤪 And now I’m going to be a MOM. The word I always had so much resentment toward, my stomach would drop every time I heard the word “mom” because of what it stood for. But why does the definition of the word have to be from what I was told growing up? What men from the church or a patriarchal society told me? So I’m asking myself hard questions right now. I’m redefining what the word mom means after stripping away every judgement, shame, guilt ridden language society attaches to it. This pregnancy has opened me up to a different world I have been so scared to explore. But I’m here. And I’m not alone, because I have you to explore with me and also guide me as well!
