Thank you, @Kat Černá 💛 I was honoured to give a talk to the Academy for Self Development in Prague, run by the wonderful Kat. The session was bilingual, Czech and English, with Kat translating herself both ways as she went. It was a joy to be part of. At the end, I asked Kat to share her takeaways. Here's what she heard: 1. A fish will always feel insecure climbing a tree. Anything new, or anything that asks us to be seen, will feel uncertain, because our mind wants to know the result before we begin. When we're ready for that insecurity, there's a kind of certainty in it. A lovely paradox. 2. We can look back on our lives through a filter of worry and fear: what went wrong, what not to repeat. Or we can look through a filter of love, and see what connects even the hardest moments, and where our strength lies. 3. Other people often see what's unique in us more clearly than we do, because we can drown in our own story. So coach each other on it. All of which helps us follow the nudges within. And Kat, thank you for claiming the title of my biggest fan. Your crown is on its way. Watch Kat's summary below 👇 in Czech and English :) Which of these landed for you? Tell me in the comments.

But sometimes, that "way out" helps us get started when the goal seems too big. I saw a tattoo in Spain that said: "Some people want it to happen, Some people wish it would happen, Others make it happen." It reminded me again that things don’t happen just by wishing for them. They happen by showing up and doing the work, even when it’s tough. I’ve definitely learned this through my journey—whether it was starting a business, doing a sprint or reigniting my health desires. None of it happened by waiting for the perfect moment; it happened by taking small, consistent actions every day, even when it didn’t feel like much. The key is to break big goals down into smaller steps. Every win, no matter how small, adds up over time. So today, I'm encouraging you to reflect on your goal or desire: Is the way out something you need to feel comfortable enough to get started, or is it holding you back from truly committing? For me, there’s no exit strategy. I show up each day because I know small actions lead to big results, and I’m here to support you through the same process. Set big goals. Break them down. Take action today. Love and activation, MamaJ

To everyone who's playing along with the Daily Profit Power Hour: I am not doing my Power Hour this morning because I feel like I've been doing Power Weekend at the conference gathering, having conversations, spotting opportunities, and nurturing relationships. But I do miss my daily deep dive into doing the actions that are just revenue-generating. I know that @Wendy Davey and @Erica Ashton are playing along - let us know how you are getting on. If you don't know what it is, you can hear more about it in this post about podcasting, (and it's not just about podcasting)

It’s been a very mixed few days for me. Yes there’s been lots of love and insight and incredible connections. I mean super incredible. As I sit enjoying my coffee, playing hooky (as Elsie Spittle used to say) in the warmth of the Spanish sun , feelings of gratitude light up every cell in my body. And I as I percolate on what I’m hearing, I realise that the gratitude is not just for the feelings I like. But also for the feelings I haven’t been too keen on. The client that cancelled with ill will - that email hurt. Stung for a while. Until I found my humility. And then the ‘honest’ conversation a peer felt they needed to have with me. Old feelings of lack, of being scared, of wanting to defend. Arose and caught in my throat. Again humility restored me. Owning my part without falling on my sword ⚔️ It doesn’t mean those feelings left my body - the cells felt the thinking they came from. But something that’s been present within in me is that ‘this is growth’ this is the edge of what I know, this is the space from which creativity arises. From where I’m called to step into my power in a stronger, more grounded way. This is what it means to be in the unknown. It’s not meant to be comfortable. And then the story of the spider. 🕷️ Barb Patterson, an incredible speaker, entrepreneur and human being, told of the spider who is not born with all the silk thread inside of them. They have to mobilise and move. They first have to mobilise the elements within them to create the chemical changes. They then have to move and physically pull the liquid out of their body to align the molecules into a solid thread. I saw that the painful feelings, the doubt, the insecurity, the imposter syndrome - they are the chemicals that we can use to poison ourselves and shut down. Or we can use to mobilise our unique abilities to turn pain into silk. Once mobilised we then have to move to allow the thread to come out of us. It doesn’t do anything kept inside. In my story that could mean an appropriate response to an email that serves the client and me. An apology to someone who has felt hurt by my behaviour and an opportunity for a reset. A surrender to the feelings without attachment. Not necessarily easy things to do. But from within humility there is no vulnerability.

Office hours today are cancelled due to the fact that I will be being interviewed at that time for a documentary around my work with Three Principles and prisons. However, if you are planning to come and have questions, please feel free to post in this thread, and I will answer all the questions. Thank you very much for understanding 💘
