Hello my beaaautiful friends,
Â
You'll very seldom hear me say all of you HAVE to be X.
Â
Usually you'll hear me add nuance.
 "For some this strategy may work, for others maybe not.
Experiment with this and think about that."
Â
Except there are some things that ARE a requirement if you're in devotion to
Mastering your craft
Having visibility on your craft
Selling your craft and having it live behind you
Â
One of those things is being audacious.
Â
Â
Audacity:
Definitions from Oxford Languages ¡
noun
Â
a willingness to take bold risks.
rude or disrespectful behavior; impudence.
Â
Â
What a delicious word. I love any word that CAN have a negative term but is coined by the disruptors as something fruitful!
Â
Now this   is  where the nuance comes in. I don't believe in being loud and bold for the sake of it. Especially not because we're trying to compete to be the loudest voice in the room. Yuck.
Â
Having audacity is honestly a trait of one's identity.
Â
Some are naturally inclined to this trait, while others get to learn it. BUT BOTH have to create capacity for the discomfort that can come with it.
Â
Steep this:Â
Have you ever seen content that feels  exploitive?
Yeah it's not a turn on and really doesn't move the sale for me, personally.
Â
But there is such thing as finding our edge and then teetering further in that direction.
Â
For some it'll be going LIVE
âbut what if I stumble on my words?Â
That's okay, be willing to fuck up and laugh at yourself
Â
For some it'll be posting that picture of being caught in the rain, and the texture of your breasts are peaking through
â-but what if my family judges me?Â
That's okay, you get to tell YOUR story with your body.
Â
For others it might be growing your work outside of just social media. Birthing a book, a firm, an oracle deck, etc
 ââbut what if nobody gets me and they don't buy
 OH BUT WHAT IF THEY LOVE YOU AND YOU SELL OUT.
The medicine:
Â
I know my people are really a community of disruptors. So being audacious is something you're familiar with. AND YET none of us is free from sabotage and stories that are trying to keep us in sameness so our tribe doesn't reject us.
Â
Even my most well known and highly seen clients, who show up without abandonâhave lulls and periods where they freeze up and hide. While hide may sort of plateau (i know that's how sabotage show up for me personally!)
Â
Make a list of places where you've been holding back
Â
Where have you been tooo comfortable? where do you have an edge that can only be fixed with more audacity? where can you let yourself be SEEN more?
Â
Our people can only like us, know us, trust us and buy from us when they can SEE US.
Â
ALSO- did you hear i'm enrolling for my 1-1 containers? i have three spots available. and won't be enrolling again until late autumn/winter.
I don't want you to dim your light
I don't want you to be smaller
I don' want you to homogenize.
 No.
â
I want to hear your story, see your gifts and look into your future.
I want to help you TELL your brand's story at scale
I want you to get highly paid for your offerings and legacy
and fall deeper in love with the creative and prolific channel..that is you.
Â
Babe,
I'm loving hearing from you , where will you be more audacious? let me know!!

Â
