I want you to imagine this… you wake up in the morning without an alarm. The sun is pouring through the windows of your dream home. You grab your favorite mug filled with coffee (or the drink of your choosing :), settle into a cozy corner, and take a moment to reflect on the fact that every part of your day—from the work you do to the people you spend time with—is exactly how you want it to be. Sounds pretty freaking amazing, right??

Around 2018-2019, I was deep into my corporate career and checking all the boxes of what I was raised to understand as a “successful career.” I lived with my best friend in the heart of Chicago…

You know that phrase: “Fake it til you make it”? What if there was some truth to the concept? What if showing up as the best version of yourself, even if it’s a future version of yourself, is actually a hack to get to that success faster?

I don’t know about you, but I feel like I’ve been hearing about “positive affirmations” for a while. And let me be the first to admit that I definitely shrugged them off in the beginning… how can speaking about positive change lead to it? I felt like it was a “woo woo” type brainwashing..

Have you ever tried building a vision board before? Maybe it was a poster you created and stuck at the back of your closet when you were 12, or a full Pinterest board you pinned full of your ideal life.

As much as I’d like to promise that building a business will be easy-peasy, the truth is there will always be some days that are just tougher than others. I remember many nights early into my business when I would collapse into bed after a full day of juggling an 8-hour corporate job and an 8-hour side hustle.
