Dearest Full Potential Seeker!?
This week has been a powerhouse of breakthroughs, real talk, and bold moves!
Whether you’re deep in the membership or exploring new spaces with us, there’s one common thread running through our conversations—the challenge of overcoming that little “yes-but” that holds us back.??
Let’s dive into what we’ve been learning—and how you can join the journey.
?
Catching the “Yes-But”
In our membership sessions this week, something truly transformative happened.??
While celebrating a member’s numerous breakthroughs, I overheard a phrase that many of us know all too well: “yes-but.”
That split-second pause—when you’re on the verge of celebrating success and celebrating how great you might have been—can quickly morph into a whisper of doubt.??
Perhaps you find yourself saying it silently when you can't reach for a win, or when fear starts to undercut your achievements.??
I’ve been there too: that voice that dims the joy and plants seeds of self-doubt, leaving a lingering fear that your true full potential is somehow muted.?
The key is to catch that “yes-but” in your net and rewire it right there and then.?
Recognise it, address it, and then step into a new narrative—one where you allow your success to shine in your full colour. We talked through what that might mean and how you can do that. Another block banished!
What would change for you if you replaced “yes-but” with a simple “yes” to your own greatness? I’d love to hear your thoughts on this. It's a massive conversation and one that we can all learn from each other's experience—drop me a line and share your story!?

Substack Journey with a Pocketful Of Poo Bags
Before I wrap up, I want to share a quick update on my Substack journey.?
My very first publication, Pocketful Of Poo Bags, has hit the scene! This quirky project is my way of sharing my insights, humour, and a little slice of life as I navigate entrepreneurship and creativity with housesitting my way around the UK Coastline.??
It’s raw, real, and a reminder that sometimes the most unexpected stories are the most powerful.
I’d love for you to check it out and let me know what you think. It’s all part of our ongoing journey of growth and authenticity. You can find it HERE
Ask yourself this week: What’s one “yes-but” you’re ready to transform into a “yes”? I know that when you catch that little voice and pivot, you unlock a whole new level of potential.

Until next week
How can I help?
