I started to fire myself a few weeks ago.
No, seriously—I wasn’t living up to the potential I know I carry. I was showing up halfway, letting the overwhelm settle in, and losing sight of the woman I’ve worked so hard to become. So I sat with it. I thought, “Maybe it’s time to let her go. She’s not showing up for the assignment.” But then something shifted.
I said to myself, “Give her 90 days. Not to coast, but to prove she’s serious.”
That was the day I placed myself on a 90-day disciplinary action.
Entrepreneurship isn’t for the faint of heart—it requires focus, belief, and a whole lot of inner work. It demands you seek support when needed, stay grounded in faith, take care of your well-being, and move with love—love for what you do, love for yourself, and love for the people you serve.
So, I got to work. I wrote down what needed to change. I created a plan. I held myself accountable. And slowly but surely, I began to see her again—the woman I know I am. She started showing up differently. With purpose. With clarity. With care.
And I realized: I am my brand.
So how I show up for me… that’s how I show up for everything.
To anyone out there who’s been coasting, shrinking, or stuck—sit yourself down.
Write the plan. Call yourself higher. Reprimand the parts that aren’t rising.
You might just meet the version of you you’ve been praying to become.
I didn’t expect how emotional it would be—to sit face-to-face with the version of me who had been holding back, making excuses, or simply tired. But that moment taught me something: we’re allowed to reset. To pause. To recommit. Growth doesn’t always come from doing more—it often comes from doing what you already said you would… with love, intention, and consistency.
“Have you ever had to put yourself on notice? What would your 30-day action plan look like?”
