More from The Confidence Chronicles
My love, I want to bring back a conversation from the Confidence Chronicles archives because I think it's a reminder so many ambitious women need.
Have you ever been so focused on what's next that you've forgotten how far you've already come? I'm coming to you from Florida, where I had a moment by the pool that completely broke me open. Years ago, I looked up at the Florida sky screaming and crying after losing my husband. This week, I looked up at that same sky and cried again. But this time, it was because I finally stopped long enough to see the life I've created. My husband. My beautiful children. My business. Speaking on stages across America. There was a time when I genuinely thought I was cursed. That I wasn't worthy. That my life would never turn out the way I dreamed. And now? I can't believe how far I've come. This episode is a reminder for every woman who's been working so hard to build her future that she's forgotten to acknowledge everything she's already survived, overcome and achieved. IN THIS EPISODE: The emotional moment in Florida that brought my past and present together Why ambitious women struggle to celebrate how far they've come How the hardest chapters of your life can shape who you become Why you can be grateful for what you have and still want more Please take a moment today to look at your life and say, “I'm proud of me.” Because I am so fucking proud of you 👑 🌴 AND WHILE I'M HERE IN MIAMI… If you've been following this journey, you know how much it means to me to be back in America, sharing my story, speaking on stages and doing work I once never imagined would be possible.
