My Personal Story of Chaos Before Expansion






The journey of personal and professional expansion is rarely a tranquil one; often, it brings inner turmoil and external chaos. Today I share my experience at this critical juncture. It's a story of vulnerability and self-discovery, providing insights into the entrepreneurial path that so often intertwines with our deepest personal growth.


Bridging Intuition and Business

As entrepreneurs, we find ourselves at the crossroads of decision-making and intuition. My experience of disconnecting from my intuition amid a bout of illness served as a harsh reminder to listen to the signals our bodies send us. Sickness can sometimes be a call to look inward and slow down, allowing us to tune in to the whispers of intuition once more.


The Power of Emotional Release

One day I had a powerful emotional release, which was another profound aspect of my expansion. This release was a form of shedding old patterns that no longer serve me. It's a necessary purging that paves the way for newfound clarity and alignment with one's vision.


Confronting Subconscious Resistance

Facing resistance both internally and from my community, I recognized a pattern of playing small and dimming my light due to fear of judgment. The process of recognizing and working through this subconscious resistance is an essential step towards fulfilling our true potential in business and life.


External Reflections of Internal Struggles

During a seemingly peaceful family week, confrontations turned to triggers, revealing my internal debates about my entrepreneurial journey. Criticism and unsolicited advice became mirrors reflecting my own doubts and thoughts, which only when faced can transformation occur.


Moving from Stagnation to Expansion

My pattern of feeling stagnant before taking action resonates with many. Her transparency in discussing this repetitive cycle sheds light on the common entrepreneurial experience of navigating change while maintaining authenticity and integrity. While external turmoil might signify a misstep, it also often highlights growth. I decided to embrace change and expansion, even when facing chaos.


I would like to remind you to pause, reflect, and engage with our higher selves. It calls for a commitment to self-care and intentional decision-making, emphasizing the importance of aligning with one's truth, even when external forces may seem discouraging. By embracing the chaos of expansion, entrepreneurs can navigate through tumultuous times and emerge with a clearer vision and a stronger sense of self.
