Hello Creators and Doers …
Diedra had everything a high-achieving woman should have. A thriving business, impressive accomplishments, and a reputation as someone who could handle it all.
But behind the scenes? Pressure was building.
????Uncertainty. Chaos. Stagnation.
????Unrelenting overflow of work.
????Juggling all the balls, feeling like she was failing at all of them.
The harder she worked, the more she sacrificed.
(Other women at my workshop nodded along with Deidra’s story, because they knew exactly what she meant. That feeling of running at full speed but never really getting ahead. The creeping self-doubt. The guilt of wanting more, but not knowing how to get there.)
And then, the hardest moment.
A bad business decision left her drowning in debt and questioning everything.
Her stress skyrocketed. Her energy plummeted. Her business doors closed temporarily, she was saddled with enormous debt. And for the first time, she faced a terrifying question: What if I can’t fix this?
The Turning Point: Climbing the Wall
When Deidra attended my workshop, she had no idea she was about to rewrite her story. Through a Love is a Mountain retreat, she learned that the walls we face- the fear, the doubt, the overwhelming obstacles- aren’t as insurmountable as they seem.
Step-by-step she built her way out by mapping out these steps for herself.
????♀️Step 1: Acknowledge– She faced the challenge head-on and forgave herself for the choices that led her there.
????♀️Step 2: Anticipate– Instead of focusing on the debt, and her giant blackboard with each payment listed, she shifted her mindset and tracked income- the thing she wanted.
????♀️Step 3: Endure– She created a strict budget, committed to no credit cards, and focused all her income on paying it down.
????♀️Step 4: Decide– She sold her townhouse, and used the profit to clear a significant chunk of what she owed.
????♀️Step 5: Revitalize– Deidra moved to a new apartment downtown. It gave her a fresh start, renewing her energy and spirit for adventure.
????♀️Step 6: Transform– In Just 18 months, she paid off her debt, secured a major contract, and saved enough for a new condo down payment in a city she loves.
Today, Deidra isn’t just surviving- she’s thriving.
She’s back on solid ground.
Her stress is manageable.
And she finally feels in control of her life again.
Small Shifts Create Big Results.
It wasn’t luck. It wasn’t magic.
It was a series of intentional, simple steps- the same steps that are available to YOU.
???? Are you facing a wall in your own life?
???? Do you feel stuck in uncertainty, stress, or burnout?
???? Are you waiting for something to change…without realizing YOU have the power to change it?
Deidra’s transformation started with one simple step: Acknowledging the challenge.
What’s your first step?
Don’t dismiss it as too simple.
Just like at the gym, the more you lift the weights, the stronger you get.
And when your inner batteries are charged, everything changes.
See you at the summit ????
P.S. Thanks Deidra for sharing your story. I am in awe of the transformation you’ve made, so proud of you!
