Excuses or results. You can have one or the other.

I’m in a season of life where I feel like I’m surrounded by excuses and not creating enough results. We built a new home almost two years ago shortly after welcoming our 4th baby. When I tell you it’s overcoming AF to keep up, I’m not exaggerating. School is out now and my older two are home. I’ve chosen to not put them in Summer camp. I’m officially moving my business model to an online education model so a lot of content is being cranked out right now. I have to find a new gym routine because my kids being home has thrown me off a bit.

I feel like I’ve been swimming in excuses. Frankly, I got sick of telling myself that I couldn’t find enough time to do it all.

So I’ve decided to get up at 4 AM and work for a few hours on the deep stuff. It’s been about 2 weeks now so I’ll update you later on how it’s going. My house is a bit of a circus most days with two toddlers and two older, but still young kids. As you can imagine, it’s always noisy. 4 AM has been nice because it’s helping me to find my flow again.

I was spending the last few days complaining and reaffirming how ‘everything felt impossible’ or that I ‘can’t ever get anything done’.

But spending that time with myself has helped me to be mindful of the messages I was sending to myself. I was creating a false reality because of these negative affirmations. That’s the magic of messaging - the way we speak over ourselves has power.

It’s so much easier to talk ourselves into the belief that things are harder than they appear. I know enough to know that we just have to offer ourselves space to deviate from the broken path.

Getting up at 4 AM seems like it’s going to offer a good deviation for me. I’ve gotten much more done in those two hours than I have over the disrupted course of the day.

I don’t want to go viral. I’m deathly afraid of accidentally going viral on TikTok for sharing my kids. Why? I don’t want to be a mommy influencer.

I, like you perhaps am a solopreneur. And a mom of 4. And a wife. I wear a number of hats. That’s why I believe in creating content that serves more than one purpose. I’ll talk about that further another time.

But I know that information is the key to breaking down barriers and building trust. In this video, I talk about one of my favorite communication theories, Uncertainty Theory, and how it applies to your content.

I believe in balance, alignment, and listening to the flow within you. So if I show up online, it’s because I want to. Not because I feel that I have to.
