What If... You Didn't Have To...

WHAT IF you didn't have to … hustle???

Have you ever thought about what that word means? Does it excite you? Energize you? Or does it stir up shame and whisper, “You’re not enough”?

As an entrepreneur who has spent significant time creating and discerning how and what I bring into my brand, this word has been presented a LOT! We hear it thrown around in so many conversations, and quite honestly – I’m tired of it. I don’t know how it helps anyone unless you’re running late or in a race to get out the door on a morning you needed to be somewhere 5 minutes ago.

Personally, It's no secret that this year looks very different than what I thought it would. Yes, my business is here, I’m still working in my brand – and it truly is a beautiful gift and has been so life-giving, but the people around me have changed significantly. Doors have closed, zip codes have changed, my circle of trusted friends and support teams have been redefined.

So.

Much.

Change.

And a ridiculous amount of thinking, working to understand how to make it all count for something. It has to, right?

But hustle?

No thank you.

Throughout these past few months, I’ve navigated tools and processes that not only serve my business but also my life and relationships. It has required a commitment to myself - to show up and have a sincere desire and dream to get better, to heal, to find joy, to live in my purpose, and reign in a few loose boundaries. AMEN! And did I mention recognize my value??? SISTER!!! I mean...

One day I realized I’d been cycling through the same process — these steps of grief, overwhelm, resilience, and success... quietly, instinctively putting one foot in front of the other — without ever naming it. What I found was the definition of Cohesive Confidence — a rhythm and a concept that allowed me to grow and keep me aligned with my vision. The vision for my business hasn't changed. I was doing these things in the same order time after time – and my goodness, has it made a difference in how I navigate things, and I have found an abundant source of trust in doing so. I’ve accomplished more self-discovery, purpose, and overall confidence in ways I never could have imagined, and so thankful I have.

I want this for you, too.

I’ll dive deeper into this over on my social media channels this month. For now, though, I encourage you to think through this for yourself.

Start with the Acknowledgement. Roll clockwise.

Through all of this transition, I needed to find clarity and direction. I needed to find me.

My identity had changed in an instant. My confidence was in question. I had to learn how to breathe again, how to show up in a space I knew I belonged – my purpose. I wanted to OWN my business. I needed a quiet rhythm, not a noisy “hustle”. I found one in what I'd already create - in Cohesive Confidence. It has become my guide – my way to move forward over and over again. I’m cultivating confidence at every turn.

What if you don’t have to hustle around or for anything?

What if you get to take your time to work through these moments and find appreciation for them?

What if you allow them to work in your favor quicker than any hustle or hurry ever could?

One thing about hustle that I do know to be true – the second you embrace being the unique and independent, confident version of yourself you’ve always wanted to be, you step into you and step out of trying to be what everyone else thinks you should be.

Embrace your own expectations at every turn. You don’t need to race. You just need the rhythm. Let Cohesive Confidence show you how to find it.

Slow it down, find your rhythm, create more of your own confident success.

Welcome to your Soft Woman CEO era.

It's ready for you.

I believe in you.
