THE skill that keeps giving ?? (learn now, benefit FOREVER)

The skill I’m about to talk about is CRIMINALLY underrated.

It has literally made all the difference for me and my clients.

What is it? Acceptance. ??

An unshakeable trust in the journey. The ability NOT to be very, very impacted by its highs nor overly discouraged by its lows.

Let me be really clear: This is NOT pretending you don’t care when you don’t get the job or opportunities you were really excited about.

It's about having self-worth and self-love that runs so deep, you don’t need everything to “go right.” External validation becomes a plus, not something you rely on to be okay and feel good in your skin.

When you master this skill, you’re going to love the journey. You’ll be able to find meaning in every step, including any bumps, challenges, wins, and plateaus. Of course, I’m human. Landing a six-figure job feels great.

When I get all the accolades, I enjoy it.

It’s fun.

But when we’re ONLY in it for the highs—when we define ourselves by our achievements—we’re setting ourselves up for disappointment. That’s when the lows keep us down.

That’s when we lose our momentum and, frankly, it feels difficult to keep going. It feels like an uphill battle.

NEEDING gold stars to feel “good enough” & spending our ENTIRE lives chasing validation from other people is no way to live.

I want you to love your life even when circumstances are out of your control (and most of the time, things are out of our control).

So what does it take to have this mindset? How can you practice acceptance and build this muscle? ??

When I get my gold stars from the world, I get curious about it. I think, “Awesome. That was fun! How did I do that and how can I do more of it?”

When I fail (and I do—a lot), I think, “Okay, not so fun. I wonder what happened there?” I come at both from a neutral space. To me (and yes, it takes lots of practice), the outcomes honestly feel pretty even.

Building this muscle has kept me free, unbound, and incredibly present—curious and eager just to be here.

Nothing is “good” or “bad.” Everything’s neutral until we assign it meaning. Again, this is NOT about shutting down our emotions.

Saying things like “rejection is just redirection” is like putting a cherry on top of a pile of garbage if you don’t believe it.

That’s not what I’m asking you to do. Instead, I want you to know beyond a shadow of a doubt:

Your worthiness as a human being has NOTHING do to with your achievements.

You’re worthy.

Plain and simple.

You don’t need to do anything to prove yourself.

Your worth is inherent. I’m a mom, so you better believe I think my baby was born worthy and we all start out as babies.

We’re born worthy, and nothing’s changed. Know your worth. Get curious about the world around you. Learn to see all experiences as neutral.

It’s a superpower—one that will serve you now and for the rest of your life.

When we can get genuinely curious about all our experiences, we’re not afraid to show up.

It allows us to:

? pick ourselves back up again and get back out there.

? follow our soul’s true calling WITHOUT being paralyzed by our fears

? trust what we want even when it changes, even when it grows, even when we evolve, even and especially when we get the nudge to contribute and expand even further beyond what we’ve previously done.

Literally no one succeeds all the time.

No. One.

Enjoy life free of unreasonable expectations and the need to prove yourself to other people.

Let go.

Be present for all life’s extraordinary experiences. Trust me on this one. It's an incredible feeling. ? ?
