Reflecting on 6 years.
Jun 20, 2023
My daughter turned 6 yesterday.
Which means 6 years ago this very day, I was sitting in the hospital bed in a diaper replying to new client inquiries for my gym.
Because I put my business before EVERYTHING six years ago.
I could not be more proud to not be in that energy anymore.
Today, my kids, my partner, and myself will ALWAYS come before my business.
It wasn't an easy shift - but it was a necessary one.
It doesn't mean I don't love my business, or have ambition to be wildly successful - of course I do - but it does mean that if I'm on a client call and my son is home and having a meltdown because he needs his mommy that our call will have a +1.
It does mean that if my kids need me that I will drop everything to see that those needs are met.
That if I need some space that I may just reschedule my entire day to take it.
It's an embodiment that I teach my clients too, because frankly - it has to be that way.
I tried it the way where I put business first and almost lost everything that matters to me (including my sanity).
So, on this 6th year of my daughters life, I am reflective on both how quickly time passes (despite it feeling slow while living it), and also so grateful for how different I am and the journey that it's taken to get here.
I can't wait to see what the next 6 years bring, minus the pre-teen drama because there is no way I am adequately prepared for that nonsense yet.
I invite you to look back at the changes you've made in your own life in the last few years. Do they make you feel proud?
