The Story of My Unfolding
January always feels like a fresh start, a blank page waiting to be filled with dreams, plans, and the next chapter of our lives. This year, that blank page feels more meaningful to me than ever before. For the first time in what seems like “too long,” I’m stepping into the energy of creation in a way that feels completely aligned and true to who I am. I want to share a bit of that journey with you, where I’ve been, what I’m creating, and where I hope to go from here.
Dreaming to Doing
For years, I’ve carried ideas that I couldn’t seem to bring to life; a podcast. guides and resources, a newsletter, and even YouTube channel. These weren’t fleeting dreams, they were pieces of something bigger that I longed to create. But not matter how much I wanted them, I couldn’t seem to start. Perhaps it wasn’t the right time, and more likely than not the fear and self-doubt were not only holding me back, they were paralyzing me.
I spent the last few months of 2024 in deep rest, wrestling with burnout and contemplating my next steps as I looked towards 2025. I felt stuck, uninspired, and as though my “zest for life” was missing.
Then, in December, I gave myself full permission to let go. I let go of the pressure to constantly do and allowed myself to fully rest. Something shifted. Over the last few weeks of the year, I found myself in a flow state I can only describe as big-time creator mode. This energy is something very special to me. It’s never overwhelming, it’s life-giving. I can sit at my computer for hours creating, losing track of time as ideas pour out of me.
And that’s exactly what happened. In just a few short weeks, I created a podcast (with episodes ready to go!), a money mapping workbook, an empowered wealth guide, new copy for my website, plans for this very blog, and the newsletter you’re reading today.
But stepping into creation hasn’t been without its challenges. Often, I don’t like being seen as a beginner. It’s a vulnerable energy to be in, but these dreams need to start somewhere. I noticed this energy a lot while working on my podcast, imposter syndrome, thoughts of it not being enough, and even the temptation to re-record the material to “make it better.” But I left it as it was, because my focus is to connect authentically, share value, and be relatable to my audience. The episodes convey my heart, and I know I’m on the right track. That means you get to see me start at the beginning and witness my growth and evolution.
What I’ve realized is this: when the energy to create is within you, it’s not something to question. It’s something to trust. If I feel it, it’s meant to be. That understanding has been a big shift for me, and it’s one I’m carrying forward into this next chapter.
Balancing Strength and Growth
As I’ve been creating, I’ve also been reflecting. My strength has always been in money, managing it, organizing it, investing it. It’s what I know, what people come to me for, and what I feel confident sharing.
But I also feel a pull to be more. I want to guide people emotionally, to hold space for their growth, and to support them as whole, empowered individuals, not just financially, but holistically.
This tension between what I know and where I want to go has been both exciting and intimidating. How do I combine these pieces of myself? How do I move from creation to connection, from building resources to truly supporting people?
I don’t have all the answers yet, but what I do know is this: I’m meant to be here, creating these things, and the next steps will reveal themselves in time.
An Invitation to Grow Together
This year, I’m creating a space for connection. Through this blog, my podcast, and my newsletter. I’ll be sharing more about the lessons I’m learning, the resources I’m building, and the journey I’m on. I have big ideas to start a community based membership with like-minded women, something I’ve been dreaming about this past year.
If you’ve ever felt the pull to create, to trust yourself more deeply, or to step into your next chapter, I invite you to join me.
A New Beginning
As I look ahead to this new year, I feel more aligned. I’m creating from a place of inspiration and flow, and I’m trusting that the work I’m doing will connect with the people who need it most. This is just the beginning of something I’ve dreamed about for years, and I’m so grateful to be sharing it with you.
Here’s to the unfolding. Here’s to stepping into the unknown. Here’s to creating something meaningful, together.
