Bloom where you are planted and grow from Wholeness
Grow from Wholeness
Growth doesn’t always have to start from brokenness.
Real, sustainable growth begins when you recognize that you’re already enough—and you’re simply becoming more of who you are.
Ambition is a wonderful thing. It pushes us to stretch, to dream, to reach higher. But it’s just as powerful to pause and honor how far you’ve already come.
You don’t need to tear yourself down to build something beautiful. You don’t need to become someone else. Your strength, your creativity, and your resilience are already part of your foundation.
Today, take a moment and write a short note to your past self.
Thank them for the steps they took, even when it was hard. Celebrate the dreams they carried, even when the path wasn’t clear.
You’re living pieces of those dreams right now—and that’s something worth honoring. #GrowFromEnough #ConfidentLeadership #SelfAwareLeader #StrengthBasedGrowth #WholeNotPerfect

STARS

Fear
Thinking will not overcome fear but action will. W. Clement Stone Fear has been the topic of conversation today – as I’ve discussed shared spaces with potential clients. Having a private office space to use for a month, a week or a day seems to rattle some small...

Thank you for sharing this. I really resonate with what you wrote. “Grow from Wholeness. ” “Real, sustainable growth begins when you recognize that you’re already enough – and you’re simply becoming more of who you are.” I really needed to hear these words. Awesome!

Thank you – yes, we are enough! Now breathe was the first thing that came to mind as I took a deep breathe.

Thanks Jodi And a bit of selfcare as we travel that journey.
