What If You’re Closer Than You Think?

Let’s get straight to it shall we.

What if you’re not stuck?

What if you're not behind?
Not failing.
Not floundering.
Not as far away from “figuring it out” as your overthinking brain would have you believe?

What if...
You’re actually closer than you think?

I know, I know, it’s easy to roll your eyes at motivational fluff when you’re knee-deep in creative overwhelm or wondering why you’ve been posting your heart out on social media and still hearing crickets.

But stick with me.

Because here’s what I know from coaching wildly talented creatives, business owners, and soulful humans who are done playing small:

Most people quit just before the breakthrough.

Not because they aren’t capable.
Not because they’re lazy.
But because the wobbly middle feels like failure, when it’s actually a sacred signpost that transformation is underway.

The Wobble Doesn’t Mean Stop, It Means Shift

If things feel heavy, unclear, or like you’re walking through metaphorical creative treacle, this might be your growth phase, not your breakdown.

Think about it:

• Caterpillars literally dissolve into mush before they become butterflies. (Not cute, but true.)
  
  
• Muscles tear before they strengthen.
  
  
• And creative business breakthroughs? They’re usually born in the “WTF am I doing?” stage.
  
  

The wobble doesn’t mean it’s not working.
It means something inside you is rearranging.
Preparing. Expanding. Stretching toward the next version of you.

And sometimes, that version is just one brave move away.

Tiny Shifts = Big Magic

Here’s the part no one tells you:
You don’t need to burn your whole business down.
You don’t need to know exactly where you’re going.

You might just need:
✨ 30 minutes of creative play
✨ A messy brainstorm in your journal
✨ A conversation with someone who can actually help and who gets it (Ahem, cough cough, hint hint)
✨ One brave yes (even if your voice shakes)

Because the tiniest shifts, the ones that feel almost silly, are often the catalyst for big change.

You’re Not Behind... You’re Becoming

So if you’ve been doubting yourself lately, or feeling like everyone else is so much further ahead… let me lovingly interrupt that spiral:

You’re not late.
You haven’t missed the boat.
You’re not behind.

You’re just becoming.
And sometimes, becoming looks like confusion, procrastination, and a healthy amount of “what the hell am I doing with my life?”

That doesn’t mean you’re off track.
It means you’re growing. And growth rarely feels graceful.

So… What Are You Closer To?

Maybe it’s finally launching that offer.
Or carving out time to paint just for you.
Maybe it’s creating a business that supports your life, not the other way around.

Whatever it is… this is your sign. So, don’t stop now.
Don’t shrink to fit. Don’t forget who you are. Don't give up now!

You're closer than you think. 
Your future self is already clapping.
Now it's your turn to show up.
