Hi Reader,

Sometimes things just smack you in the face.

Last week I had to travel to Brighton for an in-person strategy day.

Of course, my brain immediately went into overdrive - travel arrangements, energy management, all the usual stuff that comes up with leaving my safe bubble.

As the day got closer, the what-ifs started moving in.

What if I struggle?

What if I don't enjoy it?

What if I'm not good enough?

What if I'm just... not enough?

But I recognise these old patterns, oh yes. They still drop by occasionally.

The stories I tell myself before getting into something new.

So I got curious instead of spiralling.

Curiosity is often the antidote.

What if I actually enjoyed myself?

What if it turned out better than I thought?

The day included a photo shoot (cue more what-ifs about looking awkward and uncomfortable - which, let's be honest, I am 90% of the time).

I turn into a complete potato the moment someone hits record.

My eyes were streaming from the wind, I couldn't regulate my temperature, and I felt shy and probably overshared.

But here's the thing - the photos came back last night.

And for the first time possibly ever, I looked at them and thought "Wow, I actually love these."

Who am I to have that audacity?

Well, maybe that's exactly who I need to be.

A revelation.

This is your invitation too.

To take up space.

Yours.

To do the thing that fills you with fear.

Because I've been doing exactly that for the past couple of years, and if I hadn't, I wouldn't have created the beautiful spaces and experiences I have today.

I wouldn't have built this community that's already creating incredible outcomes for people.

You're not half as awkward or uncomfortable as you think you are.

It's all a story. Your brain just wants to keep you safe by telling you stories that aren't necessarily true.

So here is my challenge.

What if you're actually enough, exactly as you are right now?

With very best & brightest love.

Beth
