  • Today I woke up with a million thoughts spinning in my head “Should I promote this more? Should I run webinars? Should I buy that course?” The mental ping-pong game started early, and I’ll admit—it was exhausting. I kept going back and forth, wondering what would be the right move. Should I wait? Should I push? What if I choose wrong? 🙃 But then I realized… this is the exact trap I help others avoid. 
Funny how we often forget to take our own advice, huh? Indecision. It can keep you stuck in your head for days, weeks—sometimes even longer. But here’s the truth I’ve learned (and yes, I need to remind myself too):
It’s not about knowing every step or getting it 100% right. 
It’s about trusting that, deep down, you already know what’s aligned for you. And yeah, sometimes that decision will feel scary as hell. 
But guess what? The fear doesn’t mean it’s wrong. It means you’re growing That’s why I created Clarity. Because I know what it’s like to feel paralyzed by options and second-guessing every move. And I also know the power that comes when you finally trust yourself. Imagine waking up tomorrow knowing exactly what to do next, not because someone told you, but because you felt it was right. Are you ready to stop spinning and start trusting?
 If so, let’s dive into Clarity together. 👇🏼 Comment Clarity for more info
  • I was doing all the things, but was I actually doing the right things? 
This perspective changed everything. 👇🏼 Back when I was running my marketing agency, I wore busy like a badge of honor. 📆 My calendar was packed, my to-do list never-ending. 
It felt like I was constantly in motion—but was I really getting anywhere? At the end of each day, I’d collapse into bed feeling exhausted, yet that feeling of success (you know, my Projector signature) wasn’t there. 🤔 
I was doing so much but wasn’t truly hitting that sense of accomplishment that I craved. I started to ask myself some real questions: * What am I actually doing with my time? * Is this busywork or important work? * Where am I pouring energy that isn’t giving me a return? It wasn’t easy to admit, but a lot of what I thought was productive was really just filling space. So, I made a shift. Instead of running on autopilot, I started reflecting—monthly. It became my ritual to pause, ask myself what worked, what didn’t, and what could be better. And THAT is when everything started to change.
 Now, I don’t just want to feel “busy”—I want to feel successful, aligned, and clear on my next move. 

💡 Every month I get that clarity by reflecting like the CEO of my own life. 
It’s not just about doing more, but about doing what matters. If you’re feeling like you’re in the same loop of busyness, maybe it’s time to pause and ask, ‘What’s actually moving the needle?’ You might be surprised what clarity can do 💭✨ And if you want guidance to stop spinning your wheels and start gaining true clarity in your work and life, join me for a monthly Clarity session. 🗓️ It’s your time to reflect, reset, and realign.
  • Are you feeling the September rush pressure? 😅 It’s real! The rush to finish, to start, to push harder it’s all around us, urging us to do more, be more But the reality is that I feel this pressure in my system 👋🏼 Anyone else?
