Your Rebrand Era Starts Now: How Messy Action Fuels Momentum
Here’s the thing: I believe in "messy action" because perfection is simply perception. So it only makes sense that my official first newsletter is actually a re-post of the original because I posted incorrectly. I'm real, I'm transparent, and love a good journey!😉 If you’ve been waiting for a sign to start OR restart, whatever’s been on your heart…this is it.
I’ve been wanting to launch this blog for a while, and the time is now. I’m in my #MessyAction era - doing the things I want to do, feel called to do, and most importantly, am excited to do. Even if it’s a little messy and not perfect, I’m diving in, and you should too!
You never know when or who will share the story, insight, or message that gives you an “aha” moment. Speaking from experience, you can hear the same message multiple times, but when the right person delivers it, everything clicks. Maybe it’s their story, their personality, or the way they connect with you. Whatever it is, that one moment of resonance can inspire action, shift your mindset, or bring clarity.
I’ve had mentors big and small guide me, but let’s not forget—the "big well known" mentors were once where we are now. They had their own “moment” that pushed them to take the first step. Some of my biggest mindset shifts and breakthroughs have come from regular people sharing their experiences.
Which leads me here - just a regular person sharing insights I’m passionate about, hoping they resonate with you.
Over the past year, I’ve been in a season of personal and professional growth, and it’s been transformative! As someone who loves reading, learning, and connecting, I became hyper-focused and intentional about pursuing what lights me up. I started tackling goals that had been sitting on my bucket list, dreams I had always felt compelled to make happen.
Here are a few mindset hacks that have helped me, and I hope they can help you too!
Mindset Hacks:
Dreams? They’re simply goals without action. Start acting on them.
Goals? Take messy action. Just get started. Even the word “goal” tells us to “go”!
Action? Start small. Tiny steps build momentum. Messy is okay—just move forward.
Challenges? They’re lessons in disguise. Welcome them. Growth happens when you’re challenged and uncomfortable.
Mindset? Make it a priority. Your mindset determines success or "perceived" failure. Stay intentional.
Gratitude? Practice it daily. When you focus on gratitude, it’s hard not to feel joy and keep GOing!
What’s my messy action? Everything - Ha! But seriously, I’m so close to launching a passion project that’s evolving into so much more than I originally planned. Specifically - If you’re a woman in your mid-30s or beyond, let’s connect! I help women optimize their health and wellness during perimenopause and beyond while shifting mindsets around this life transition (which is the biggest flex)!
Mindset is the key to unlocking and empowering your best life - your best years are still ahead of you. Ladies, we’re just getting started! This isn’t the narrative we’re used to hearing regarding "the pause," but I’m here to help change that. Coaching clients? Yes. Educating through webinars & courses? Yes. Speaking to groups and organizations? Yes. Interested? Drop me a message or shoot me an email (address below) for now because my website is OH SO CLOSE to being ready!
Final thoughts - Will I change my blog header, graphic, format, etc? Probably. But in the spirit of taking #MessyAction, this is me getting the first one out there regardless of its imperfection and owning it fully. Join me, it's pretty liberating!
Until next time, remember: your attitude determines your latitude.
Choose it. Own it. Live it.
