Your goals are not wrong. Your timeline is.
As I head into a few weeks of intentional time off, I wanted to leave you with something powerful: your dreams, goals, and desires are not wrong. But the pressure you’re putting on your timeline? That’s the real issue.
In today’s world, it’s so easy to feel behind. We set ambitious goals and then feel frustrated when they don’t happen on our preferred schedule. But what if the issue isn’t the dream: it’s just the timing?
Let’s talk about what it looks like to release the rush and embrace a different rhythm.
The long road to your dream doesn’t mean you’re lost
I’ve had a dream since the 1990s – to take a full July off. Back then, I was still working for “the man,” not yet an entrepreneur. It took me over 20 years, but last year, I finally did it.
Same thing with my car. It took 17 years for me to buy it brand new. Not because I wasn’t capable, but because I wasn’t ready.
That’s a different story.
It’s not about giving up. It’s about trusting that your goals will arrive when you’re aligned and resourced to receive them.
What’s really slowing you down? (Spoiler: it’s not just overthinking)
ChatGPT told me I was an overthinker. Maybe you feel that way too. For ME…. it’s not about thinking too much. For ME, it’s about not putting myself first. Like, literally FORGETTING ABOUT myself.
I ignored two months of foot pain until it finally pushed me to take action. Not because I didn’t know what to do, but because I kept putting myself last.
When you understand your real pattern – overthinking, avoidance, people-pleasing – you can finally start to shift it.
Let yourself take the next small step
You don’t need to leap. You don’t need to overhaul everything.
Sometimes it’s as simple as giving yourself permission:
- To buy the thing you’ve been eyeing
- To say no to something that drains you
- To pause and rest even when everything says “hustle”
Looking ahead: September 8th Workshop
If this message resonated, I invite you to mark September 8th, 11am–1pm ET on your calendar. I’m leading a small-group workshop (only 10 spots!) focused on stepping into your bold future – without the pressure of needing to “fix” everything all at once.

We’re gonna be bold, we’re gonna get things done.
We’re gonna bring you into what you deserve.
Let’s make space for aligned action.
