As an entrepreneur I used to sit at my desk waiting for the ideas to come and the breakthrough moments to happen. I thought that since I was at my desk I was 'working hard', and doing what I was supposed to do to build a strong foundation for my business.

But you know that's not how s**t really happens. We get inspired when we let our brain take a rest, or when we have external stimuli to make us think differently about something. Our best ideas come not when their forced, but when they are given space to emerge.

Now this is coming from someone who used to manage project timelines like a damn pro. Letting go of linear processes and my own timeline has been a huge lesson for me over the past 8 years.

Lesson #3 (out of 5)
🦉 When you are creating and innovating something from your heart, it's best to get out of your trained thinking that structures and processes will best help you get from A to B. Loosen up, and change up your routine and you'll find something fresh will shake loose.

Several months before I quit my last corporate job, I committed to my resignation date with two close friends. It was a little arbitrary, but also there was some reasoning behind it.

I made the commitment to myself and to other people, and this was the accountability I needed. Because without a date, nothing was driving it except the desire to know if there was more that was possible for me.

I didn’t wait for a disaster this time around to make a change, I decided to ask myself what I really wanted, and that was the game changer.

For many, many years my pattern of leaving jobs was to do so after I had been fed up or when I was clearly being forced out. I thought the fire in my belly was propelling me forward, but eventually I realized that leaving from an empowered place felt so much better.

And so when I left my last corporate job, I did so when things were actually OKAY. I was content, clear about who I was and in good standing. I wasn't angry and I wasn't miserable, but I was exploring a new questions for myself; what else is possible?
Asking if there is more when you already have a full plate is a game changer.

For inspiration on what else could be possible for you, listen to the latest episode of The Unlock Lab podcast.

I've always been sensitive to receiving input and feedback because I can be my own harshest critic!

When you are out their hanging your own shingle it's so hard to know what the 'right' moves are. But I have literally found myself in tears after getting off calls that I had no right to be on in the first place.

Finding your own answers first for those big decisions will help you stay solid no matter what opinions you allow in.

Lesson #2 (out of 5)
🦉 Be extremely discerning about when and who you reach out to for support and input on the big choices you are making. The truth is the most difficult decisions need to come from YOU.

There are days when I'm so hard on myself that I diminish this wild and crazy path of entrepreneurship that I chose.

On my harsh days I can call myself a 'house wife / dog mom' because the way I'm living my life looks so different than it used to.

But that's diminishing the fact that the work that I do requires something different than sitting in front of a computer all day.

If you are putting yourself in boxes, and using labels that aren't honoring your bravery and your one unique life that you get to live HOWEVER you want it, then I hope you save this post and come back to it on your harsh days.

One of the biggest things I've had to accept since becoming an entrepreneur is that I have to figure out the process that works for me. Coming from decades of structure / formatting / templates influenced not just what I thought my days had to look like, but also what I thought was necessary to run a successful business.

We all move differently, and our energy works differently, and of course our MOODS change sometimes from moment to moment.

Lesson #1 (out of 5)
🦉 Don't make yourself wrong for what works for you in getting your work done, and living your life well.

I knew it was time to take a left turn in my career, but I still had voices in my head telling me it was a terrible idea to leave my job to figure it out. I listened to those voices for months until I finally HEARD them.

And when I heard them I realized that I didn’t believe in what I was telling myself.

That was the unlock for me, and so I dug my heels in and quit. I had no idea what I was going to do next. I had no plan to launch a business or be an entrepreneur.

Sometimes your story of transformation doesn’t have a sexy start. I think it’s actually refreshing to hear the real stories behind taking leaps of faith. And this episode on The Unlock Lab is my story with no frills or cherry on top.

I have absolutely questioned my sanity over the past eight years, post quitting my corporate career.
My inner critics have come and gone in their various phases telling me everything that WASN’T encouraging about the path I’ve chosen.

Despite my inner dialogue, one thing has remained true; My soul knowing that this is exactly the path I'm supposed to be on.
For the full story of making choices about your career path without the whole plan in place, listen to the latest episode of The Unlock Lab podcast.

The initial idea of starting a podcast made me put my hands over my face in my feeling of heaviness. UGGGHHH another freaking thing to do to build my business. I am not an editor, nor do I want to learn. What do I name it? How do you even get a podcast out there? A million questions, and even more pathways it seemed.

The truth was that if everything was taken care of, and you just stuck a mic in my face I would LOVE to do a podcast. This is the truth that came out when talking to a few close friends, and they encouraged me to do it. They squashed the fears that it would require SO MUCH - because one of them actually had a podcast and knew first hand.

But here's what I did:

Nov. 2023: Launched my podcast audio only with the graphics that my intern created for me.

July 2024: Hired a designer to create a logo and cover art

April 2025: Did a new photo shoot, and created updated cover art myself

Jan. 2026: Launched VIDEO podcast for the first time on youtube

Aug. 2026: Podcast editor recommended an update and he executed it for me

There are of course many other upgrades and shifts over the course of my podcast, but this shows the visual evolution.

🚀 Now I think my cover art is looking FLY, SIMPLE and ready for the next stage of growth. (Thank you !)

TAKEAWAYS:
🦉 Don't let the overwhelm of the big dream keep you from taking any steps
🦉 Personal / business branding is not static, it's meant to change and shift as you do and as the world does

HOW TO MAKE FORWARD PROGRESS:
💫 Find a small group of folks you can trust with your dream to cheer you on
💫 Ask yourself what is the BEAR minimum I need to actually get started
💫 Identify the next micro step that feels good to do
💫 Give yourself permission to put it out there imperfectly

If you need support with pursuing your big idea, your personal brand or simply getting out of your own way - reach out to discuss the ways I can support you.

Do you struggle with nothingness? With boredom? With not having something to do?

Good. That's the way, my friend. Sitting in the discomfort on NOTHING is the path to the other side of whatever it is you actually want.

Because humans were never designed for constantly go-go-going. We just convinced ourselves that stillness is laziness and unproductive.
