I Love It When She

There’s something tender that happens when you look at old versions of yourself with new eyes. This weekend, I went through years of notes, screenshots, graphics, photos, captions... pieces of past businesses and past dreams. And instead of cringing, I felt this deep reverence. For the girl who showed up anyway. For the woman who sold without shame. For the version of me who didn’t wait until it was perfect to speak. This episode is a love letter to her. And maybe to you, too. It’s about the seasons where you go quiet. The seasons where you build in the shadows. The seasons where referrals, word of mouth, and “being easy to work with” slowly pull you away from your own voice. It’s about realizing you’ve scrolled more than you’ve spoken and being brave enough to name that without judgment. We talk about how clarity is earned through experience. How working with the wrong people teaches you exactly who the right people are. How creating for the audience you already have can quietly disconnect you from the life you actually want. And how once clarity arrives, it asks something of you: action, boundaries, devotion. This episode is also about cycles. About understanding that not every season is meant to be loud. Some seasons are meant to teach you discernment. But eventually, there comes a moment where you stop hiding behind ease and start choosing courage again. And fittingly, I recorded this under the new moon in Capricorn, a moon that doesn’t care about excuses. A moon that clocks patterns, exposes habits, and asks for discipline over drama. This energy isn’t sexy... it’s steady. It’s consistent. It’s built in the quiet, daily choices that actually change your life. Inside Alchemy, we honored this moon together on our monthly New Moon call: one of four live calls we hold every month. These calls are grounding, honest, and deeply clarifying. They’re where intention becomes identity. Where you stop outsourcing your power and start organizing your life around who you’re becoming. By the time you’re listening to this, that call has already passed but the invitation hasn’t. This episode is for the woman who knows she has something to say. For the woman who’s ready to stop waiting. For the woman who wants to take her voice back, gently, boldly, fully. You’re not behind. You didn’t waste time. And it is not selfish to take care of yourself. I love it when she gets honest. I love it when she shows up anyway. I love it when she builds a life that actually feels like hers.   ✨ Join AlchemyIf this conversation resonated, Alchemy is a membership for women who are ready to reconnect with themselves, rebuild self-trust, and move forward with clarity instead of force.
