It didn’t begin as a business. It began as a way back to yourself.
You started it to feel alive again.
To reclaim your voice.
To do something just for you—after years of running the household, managing the chaos, and holding everything together for everyone else.
It was never just a little side hustle.
It was a lifeline.
At first, it sparked something.
You had ideas.
You stayed up late mapping them out.
You even designed a logo or two.
But somewhere between school runs and self-doubt, it all… stalled.
The website half-launched.
The brand photos stayed in Dropbox.
The offers you were going to promote “next week” are still sitting in your Notes app.
And now, you’re wondering if maybe you just weren’t cut out for it.
“If you’re building something to prove your worth, it will always feel like it’s not enough.”
Is It ADHD, Distraction… or Something Deeper?
Maybe it’s distraction.
You keep saying you’ll focus when life settles down.
Maybe it’s your ADHD.
Your brain craves novelty—and finishing is harder than starting.
But maybe—if you’re honest—it’s fear.
Fear is subtle.
It doesn’t scream.
It whispers things like:
“What if this flops?”
“What will people think?”
“Who do I think I am to do this?”
And when fear’s in the backseat, perfectionism grabs the wheel.
Shame rides shotgun.
And you?
You just keep circling the block, wondering why you can’t get anywhere.
Gratitude Isn’t the Same as Alignment
You tell yourself it’s not that bad.
You should be grateful.
Your life looks good on paper.
But inside?
There’s a quiet ache that no one sees.
The ache of not following through on something that once lit you up.
Of showing up for everyone else—but not yourself.
Of knowing you’re meant for more—but never quite claiming it.
“You can wrap it in gold foil, but if it’s fuelled by fear, it will still burn you out.”
This Isn’t a Strategy Problem. It’s a Self-Trust Problem.
Here’s what most business advice won’t tell you:
This isn’t about finding the right funnel, niche, or algorithm.
It’s about self-trust.
You’ve done the therapy.
You’ve read the books.
You’ve built a good life.
But that next-level version of you—the one who leads with clarity, confidence and conviction?
She doesn’t arrive by tweaking your brand colours.
She shows up when you stop performing and start listening—to yourself.
If You’re Sitting at the Kitchen Table Wondering If It’s Too Late…
Let this be your interruption.
It’s not too late.
You are not too much.
And you are absolutely wired for clarity, connection, and meaningful success.
But first?
You need to stop building from a place of “proving.”
And start building from a place of truth.
Not what looks good.
Not what sells fast.
What actually feels aligned.
Because the next season of your life is not about volume.
It’s about resonance.
No more proving.
No more packaging purpose to please others.
No more hiding behind potential.
It’s time to lead from within.
“This was never about the business. It was about finally backing yourself.”

I’ve created a short companion guide:
“5 Questions to Reconnect With What You’re Really Building.”
It’s free, grounded, and designed to cut through the noise.
DM me the word RECONNECT and I’ll send it your way.
Because clarity starts with the questions we’re brave enough to ask.
