You know I’m passionate about something when the claw comes out 🤏🤏🤏

I don’t know if it age, but I’ve been doubling down on this this year.

I’m not following what looks good to everyone else, I’m building a life that feels good to me 🌱

So I need to make sure everything I do goes towards this (as much as poss) & not away from this.

It will never be perfect (I mean having a dog rescue / vineyard in the south of France might take a while) but we gotta shape the daily work to what feels good.

Here’s some areas you might want to think about (but you may have other priorities) 👇

❤️‍🔥 Time & Rhythm

E.g. how do you want your work structure to look like? Short bursts, predictable pace etc

❤️‍🔥 People & Energy

E.g. do you get your energy from working with people or alone? Do you want a few close clients or many?

❤️‍🔥 Work Style

E.g. do I want to be the creative driving force or doing the delivery?

❤️‍🔥 Income & Security

E.g. do I value a steady income or more of a rapid high risk/high reward?

❤️‍🔥 Lifestyle

E.g. do I want to be fully nomadic or have a safe home base?

Is this something you check in on? I’d love to know…

My silly little imagination, building something pretty wild, with my silly little laptop ✨

12/06/2026

Well this could be terrifying 🫠🫠🫠

Deep down I know I’ve been holding back.

On building a community that I know we can all have here. On creating a sharing my skills & my voice. On building separate business to fund the community growth.

And importantly, on actually living the life I keep saying will happen.

And as I’m surrounded by the most incredible people building unique business & life blends, I thought I’d see what would happen if I go ALL IN.

6 months.

No excuses.

No falling back to picking up (very lovely) contracts. But building something that i always dream of.

So if you’re down, I’m going to share the very honest btw of what I’m up to 🙃🙃

Maybe with some bits you can take away, or maybe we just keep each other accountable?

Fancy making the next 6 months a little wild with me? (Pls, I’m scared) 🫶🏻
