I think we see a lot of the *after* of entrepreneurship.

The freedom, the flexibility, the glorious holidays, the meaningful work, the big launches and the success stories.

What we see a lot less of is the building phase.

The part where you’re still working the career you spent years building while trying to create something new.

The weekends you spend working instead of doing the things you love.

The money, time and energy you pour into learning and figuring it all out.

The days when you’re convinced it’s going to work and the days when you wonder if you’ve completely lost the plot. 😂

I’m very much in that phase right now.

I believe in what I’m building. I’m excited about it. And sometimes I still wonder if I should just get a regular job and just go hiking on the weekend.

Both can be true.

I get a little more real about all of this in the full video, including the doubts, sacrifices, and messy bits of building a business.

It’s on YouTube if you want to hear the rest. ❤️

And if you're in the building phase of something too, I'd love to know: what part of it do you wish people talked about more?

One of the biggest misconceptions is that if you override yourself long enough, difficult emotions will simply go away.

Spoiler alert: they don't.

Sometimes they become irritability. Or overthinking. Other times chronic tension, people-pleasing, or even burnout.

This Override Pattern doesn't erase what you're feeling.

It just teaches your nervous system to express it somewhere else.

The goal isn't to feel less.

It's to stop overriding yourself long enough to understand what your mind and body have been trying to tell you all along. 🤍

One of the quickest ways to guarantee you'll never become good at something...
..is to override the part of you that wants to try.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately, not just in CrossFit, but in life.

How many times have we talked ourselves out of something because we didn't want to look silly or inexperienced?

So instead we stay where we're competent.

Where we know we'll do well and no one can judge us. 👀

But the women I admire the most don't organize their lives around looking competent.

They let themselves be beginners.

They try. They mess up.

And then they laugh and keep going.

Not because they're naturally fearless.

Because they've decided that curiosity is more important than protecting their image.

What if that was true freedom? ✨

Not being good at everything... But no longer overriding the part of yourself that's curious enough to begin.

What's something you've been wanting to try but haven't let yourself be a beginner at yet? 💚 I'd love to hear!
