![😬 This might hurt a little - but you won’t get what you want without THIS. 👇🏼
If you want to reach the next level in your …
👉🏼 business / career
👉🏼 relationships
👉🏼 health
Then you HAVE to get comfortable with change.
⚡️PERIOD⚡️
There have been so many times in my life when I desperately NEEDED change… but it terrified me.
💔 when I felt like I was in the wrong relationship
🧪 when I knew I my work environment was toxic
🙅🏻♀️ when I didn’t use proper boundaries in relationships
⛓️ when I wasn’t appreciated working for someone else
In all of these scenarios, I was MISERABLE.
And I kept telling myself, I’ll make a change when I feel ready.
But the truth? I never felt ready.
I kept waiting for the perfect moment, the perfect plan, the perfect confidence… until I realized that confidence doesn’t come before action.
It comes because of it.
So I started to take risks, diving headfirst into EMBRACING change.
I mean come on - I dyed my hair purple a year ago, because I needed to feel like MYSELF. 💁🏻♀️
And I’m never going back.
💜 I left that wrong relationship 👉🏼 and I found my now husband and baby daddy
⚡️I left the toxic work environment 👉🏼 and fell in LOVE with the next job I had
👯♀️ I started enforcing boundaries 👉🏼 and it made my relationships MORE fulfilling
🎥 I started working for myself 👉🏼 and was able to gain back my autonomy
I get it—change is intimidating.
But if you’re waiting until you feel fully prepared to take that next step… you might be waiting forever.
Because the real risk? Staying stuck in the same place, wondering what if?
I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to wonder.
Let this be your permission slip to make the change you’re thinking about making.
If this resonated at all, drop your fave emoji in the comments, and send to a friend who needs to hear it.
Rooting for you! 💜
Xo,
Shana
