I have always marched to a different beat.
I spent years trying to do what the experts said — and couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t make myself follow through. The problem wasn’t them. Something was missing in how I understood myself.
The Woman I Work With
Maybe you recognize this.
You’ve built something real. Your business is successful. And you find yourself at 2pm doing something completely off your list — reorganizing a drawer, pivoting to a new project, doing the thing that wasn’t the thing — and you don’t even know why you got there.
Or you find yourself working constantly — because work is the one place where you feel fully competent. And you can’t turn it off. You’re not a workaholic by choice. Your brain just keeps going back to everything that still needs to get done.
You do things yourself because you don’t trust that anyone else can do them the way they need to be done. You’re not a control freak — you just haven’t had language for why delegating feels like more work than doing it yourself.
You’re leveraged. You’re stretched. You’re the one everyone comes to — and there’s no one you can go to. From the outside it looks like success. On the inside you’re quietly asking: is this it?
