My tiny human ! I'm not going to lie. Motherhood is not easy. At least, not for me. I was always the little baby in my family. I've been pampered and spoiled all my life. When I found out I was going to become a mother, it was so terrifying for me. As much as I was happy, I didn't feel strong enough, wise enough or even capable of loving something so deeply for the rest of my life. I always had this little voice in my head... telling me that I was weak, broken and a failure. This might come as a surprise because most people described me a an outgoing, fun and confident woman. When I went into labour, feeling like every bone in my spine was breaking, that voice came back deeper than ever. I remember apologyzing internally to my unborn son for being so weak... I felt like I was already failing at been a mother. I can't tell you what or how it happened... but something changed inside of me. For the first time of my life, I was thankful for my body, for how strong it was, for not listening to that constant little voice.... for being stronger than all my fears combined together ! Motherhood is not easy, but it's so worth it. My fears are still present, my little voice is still there... but one thing is different. I have him, my little human, my living breathing proof that I am enough, and that loves conquers all ! Happy Mother's Day Mama!

Did you know Santa Fe is the highest State Capital in the US? When we first moved to Santa Fe, the lovely @geninne warned us that it could snow up until May 15th up here. Turns out, she was right! It’s currently snowing outside, and we still have five days left until her deadline All of this precipitation is great for the area though, and means less fires this summer!
.
Til the weather clears, Matt and I will be inside, sipping hot coffee, and waiting this one out with the kittos. And don’t forget, our live chit chat will take place tomorrow at noon Mountain Time! Can’t wait to talk with you guys!

#TBT to our first #EverythingIsFigureoutable book launch brainstorm in Los Angeles. Here’s the way we roll on @TeamForleo… ⠀
⠀
We pick a date to get together IRL (98% of the time we work remotely). ⠀
⠀
Our in-person brainstorm sessions include laptops + impromptu dancing + DAMN good food and wine + me pacing around, jumping up and down, laughing, screaming, acting like a fool and getting A L L the wild ideas out of my head ♀️. We use our classic prompt, “Wouldn’t it be cool IF…” non-stop. (Search Marie Forleo + The Mental Exercise That Can Turn Dreams Into Reality for a whole #MarieTV episode on this topic.) ✨⠀
⠀
From there, we Marie Kondo the shit out of our initial brainstorm list. Meaning, if an idea or strategy doesn’t spark joy — we eliminate it. Then, we start making action plans, spreadsheets and calendar appointments. ✍ Bottom line, I’m SO excited for you to get this book in your hands!! ⠀
⠀
Curious, what’s a project —personal or professional — that you’re excited about right now? Leave a comment and let me know. ⠀

Do you have someone you can talk to about your business? ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Having people in your corner who support you in your life is super important. But having someone who listens to your endless talks about your business is ESSENTIAL! Starting your own business can be a lonely road. The first ever b adventure I had was when I just turned 18. Saying I worked hard is an understatement! I was still in university while I set up my first business on the weekends. I wish I had someone to talk to about my crazy days and the decisions I had to make.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Now 11 years later I can't do it without a number of people who support me and my business(es). ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
How about this?⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Let's have business showers for our friends. Like baby showers, except; we get together and give them startup money as gifts, supply them with resources, and share the news with everyone we know! ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Tag business buddy in the comments to set up that B shower ⠀⠀
⠀⠀
P.S. I have been working on something that will bring people together to talk about their business - if you are interested to learn more - DM to become a part of it!
