Hi Reader,

​

I feel like a broken record at this point, but the energy lately has still been rather intense. 😵‍💫

Does anyone else feel like they're living in a pressure cooker of life right now? 😅

If you're with me in this stage of shifting your identity to become your next version of self -- I can tell you you're not alone. 🧡

What you're going through is not easy. But it is telling you something important. And if you lean into it, you have an opportunity to change your life for the better.

Let's have an example.

Maybe you're getting reallyyyy fed up with your 9-5, and you want to make the jump to freelancing -- but you're not quite ready yet. But now you've started to believe it's actually possible for you. And that's the first step toward making it a reality.

That's the identity shift. Instead of being someone who wishes they could build a freelance business and be their own boss and be successful, now you're someone who is becoming that next version of you.

As mentally exhausting as this process is, this is where the fun begins Reader.

Now that you're stepping into this new version of yourself mentally and energetically, you can start to see, receive, and act on the opportunities that align with this new you in the physical world.

So for our 9-5 to freelancer example, this might look like:

• Starting a new practice to hone your service offer (writing, design, project management, consulting, etc.)
• Sharing with your network that you want to offer xyz as a freelancer, even if you're still working your 9-5
• Meeting someone who's interested in your offer and doing a small project in exchange for a testimonial

... Or maybe it looks like joining a community with other people on the same journey as you, and learning and growing together. Exponentially speeding up the process to get you to your dream life and business. 😉

Big life change doesn't happen overnight, Reader. And that's a good thing, or we would freak out and probably burn it all down just to get back to a place where we feel safe.

You just have to lean into the journey, listen to your intuition, and take the next right step as it comes along.

Trust this uplevel and this new version you're stepping into. You're on the right track. 🚀

One Slight Edge at a time,
