Hey Reader,
We’re all guilty of this one from time to time...
Okay, fine–frequently guilty. Caught in the hustling. The doubting.The chasing.
Until a pause reveals: so much is already here. Like for you.
You, who’s been in it this year. The building. The pivoting. The questioning.
The becoming.
You, who might be sitting in a swirl of “I should be further by now” or “Why is it taking so long?”
Whose nervous system still flinches when the Stripe balance dips or the inbox goes quiet. And yet...
Have you paused to see how far you’ve come?
A year ago, maybe you were stuck in a job that drained your soul. Afraid to charge more than $50 an hour. Still calling yourself an “aspiring” entrepreneur.
Now look.
You’ve stretched your voice.
You’ve honored your truth.
You’ve made brave offers and connections.
You’ve said no to what no longer fits.
You’ve felt imposter syndrome... and still shown up.
That’s not nothing, my friend. That’s the work of a lifetime.
But if you’re anything like me, you sometimes forget to see it.
You forget to feel it. Especially in the day-to-day doing.
The Messy → Magical Shift
So let’s take a moment. Let’s get still.
I invite you to write down everything that’s shifted in the past 12 months.
Not the flashy stuff. Not the metrics. Just the real juicy goodness stuff.
The “I now trust myself more.”
The “I finally speak in my authentic voice.”
The “I actually like how I show up online or in face to face meetings.”
And there it is: the magic.
Gratitude isn’t just a feel-good practice.
It’s a simple quiet yet powerful act that provides a radical return to sufficiency.
A way to shift from “not enough yet” to “already whole.”
It tunes our energy to receive in the present, and forget the striving for a moment.
✨ 3 Gratitude Practices for Soulful Entrepreneurs
- Grateful Before the Proof – Write gratitude lists as if it’s already happened:
“Thank you for the soul-aligned clients already on their way.”
- Micro-Miracle Spotting – End each workday listing 3 things that worked–even if tiny. A brave email. A kind DM. Doodling on a new idea.
- Savor + Serve – Choose one part of your business today to savor deeply (an uplifting client convo, a system that saves time and stretched your tech ability, a fave content piece that put you out of your comfort zone, your own courage to show up in a new space)–then let that energy guide your next act of service.
A Spark of Inspiration:
“Wear gratitude like a cloak and it will feed every corner of your life.” —Rumi
Gratitude doesn’t mean settling. It means expanding your capacity to receive and to celebrate what’s here and create more.
💬 Your Turn (CTA)
What are you most grateful for in your business right now—especially the part no one else sees?
I’d love to hear. Thank you for being here, it means so much. It inspires me to keep showing up and my only hope is that these weekly notes help you grow, expand, and heal. That’s my wish. And I’m so grateful for you.
