Hi Reader,
​
A year ago today, I wrote myself this note. A promise, a lifeline, honestly.

This was a number I hoped to hit by May 2026 and I gave myself a full year.

I hit it in 3 months, and have ever since.

I'm sharing this because I want you to know how fast things can change.

May 12, 2025 I was in a dark place, anxiously wishing the next day wasn’t my birthday because I had no celebration in me. I’d been hit with postpartum depression (not that I knew that in the moment). We were in massive debt from hospital bills, a move, and having to pause my business after my son was born 2 months early and spent a month in the NICU. A retainer client unexpectedly didn’t renew their contract, and my pipeline was non-existent.

As the breadwinner, the pressure was crushing. I was spiraling further and further down and I'd completely forgotten how to do the thing I do best.

Today last year, while we were walking, my husband asked me simply: "How’d you do it last year?"

D’oh! This is literally what I help my clients with! It’s the same system that got my business to 6-fig in under a year - without a website and terrible DIY branding…yet I wasn’t doing any of it! I was paralyzed with self-doubt, imposter syndrome, topped with raging postpartum hormones. A recipe for inaction.

After that question, I got my head out of my you know what. I started doing what I’ve always done to crush my quotas: business development through relationships.

3 months later, our reality completely 180’d. Not just the numbers…emotionally, mentally, everything.

I'm not sharing this to show off…I hate talking about numbers.

But I've been on calls lately with people who are exactly where I was. And when I tell them it only took a few months to turn it around, I can see the hope hit.

If you're in it right now, you don't need a year. You need a decision. And then action.

Things can change faster than you think.

P.S. I’m writing this at 3AM because I can’t sleep (damn postpartum hormones!) and tears fill my eyes thinking how lost I was this time last year. I wish I could go back and tell her everything will be OK. More than OK! I literally can’t believe we are where we are today and I’m just so grateful and I have SO much to celebrate as I turn another year tomorrow.

I'm proud to be one of my own best case studies of my system in action. Everything I’ve done to grow my business to $30k+ months I share with my clients. We’re not just learning LinkedIn strategy, we’re creating your relationship-driven business development flywheel that actually works.
