Honeycomb

You can be both high integrity and successful.

Stop blaming. Start resolving.

I want to write more short, snappy entries for you.

Not just long, windy memoir style pieces but short, direct gems that can pop open things that are stuck.

There is a part of me that I don’t express a lot these days— the very direct business gal who built an 8 figure organisation in her 20’s.

The quiet investor.

The eldest daughter who promised to retire her single mum of 4 and pay off her mortgage, and so grew up and did it.

The me who successfully rewired my brain back in 2012 so that I could express parts of me that contradicted my circumstance.

I was so diligent in working on my mind— on unpacking all of the judgements I had towards success, successful people, and money.

I was 23 and I knew that to have what most people didn’t have, I had to think like most people wouldn’t think.

It freed me.

I wrote a whole section on it in my first book, Earth Is Hiring— all the things I taught myself to believe about money.

I have watched the ‘money’ world in the 10+ years since then and mostly stayed out of the conversation. I’ve watched people teach about money because they had a big launch, but then privately behave in ways that lacked integrity. They were not living abundantly or generously.

I’ve mostly stayed out of the conversation for this reason. I also entered many quiet seasons of motherhood and it just didn’t feel like my arena to be in.

I was also learning how to be a wife and mother and not constantly productive and thanks be to God, I was afforded this blessing.

Am I feeling called to talk about money again? Not really.

But I am feeling a different kind of stirring.

It’s like my soul is growing out of my current expression. I feel I’m pressed up on an edge— I want to go somewhere new— but I have to re-examine some beliefs I have in order to move freely to this next place.

What stories am I telling about big creative goals and motherhood?

Is there a secret conflict here?

Who am I judging and what is this telling me about my own conflicts?
