Hi girls, I had some thoughts this week around "shrinking" myself, and why so many of us hold ourselves back. I always felt like I had to censor parts of myself to make others comfortable, and I realized this was also preventing me from having a better life. Up until now, I would rarely mention good things that happened in my life to anyone. While jealousy will always be present, it's not beneficial for me to worry about it. I've accepted that others' perception of me isn't my problem and feel so much better. If someone doesn't like you, their immediate reaction will be to misunderstand you or try to credit your success to privilege. I feel a lot calmer with other people's unhappiness in themselves, and I'm very grateful for this experience. Shrinking yourself will make you liked, but it comes at the cost of your success. I knew this was coming, but actually facing more hate online was nerve-wracking. I got some angry messages saying that I am super privileged, and a client also called me AI lol. I cried it out last week and went to the beach to relax. I feel so accustomed to it now, and I made more money this week!! I love how money literally feels your capacity expanding. I'll continue to focus on helping people, giving back, and doing what I enjoy. 🏖️

Girls, I need your help & expertise! 🤍 I have a 1:1 dinner date next Friday at Firedoor Chef Lennox Hastie’s restaurant Australia. For context: it’s one of the hardest tables to get in Sydney. The entire kitchen runs on wood fire only no gas, no electricity and it’s an open kitchen, so you actually watch Lennox cook right in front of you. The menu changes daily based on the best ingredients available, and it’s a set chef’s menu a truly special, intimate experience. The vibe is elegant think refined, warm, sophisticated. It’s starting to get chilly in Sydney at night 🍂 so I’m keeping that in mind. I’ve found 3 options I’m considering (see photos attached!) but I’m completely open to your suggestions. What would you wear to a place like this?

I'd like to raise this topic and test out here if any of you resonate with it? or find it hard to manage? It doesn't have to be as harsh as depression, but I know how intense mine and yours lives are <3 The feeling of forgetting how to smile, how to be happy about daily small things/joys, and learning how to get back on track, how to heal. I believe many fear this topic, and find it hard to admit it, they might find it hard to see it as a natural progression of things. Or some are scared to admit it because it would mean that they "failed". I believe that you can go through these moments elegantly. Achieve things despite "burnout" / "Depression". Learning how to be grateful for the small daily joys (learning how to find them), despite a hurtful past that left marks, despite the "weight" of future goals and achievements that takes all of our attention. Could you, please, share your experience? If you have ever dealt with this? Or maybe you are carrying this inside even now?

I was watching Leyla’s new video on YouTube when I stumbled upon this comment (photo below) — and something clicked in my mind 💡 I recalled something I wrote on a hotel pad paper: “decide for yourself what it means to be happy”, and the comment summarizes it completely! So why have I been going around telling everyone I wanted my own business? I have so many memories of my parents saying it so much without challenge that it became a belief - “business - hustling, sacrifice - is the *only* way to get the financial, geographical, and time freedom that you want.” Which obviously isn’t true, right? I’ve always wanted to use my creativity and talents to benefit others as a way to sustain and elevate my lifestyle, and I feel so validated and seen now. Do you ladies have any thoughts on where I can get started? I’m embarrassed to say I don’t know where to start, but once I get the right direction I’m sure I can get the ball rolling 🩷🫶 Love, Jaymie

Hey girls, lets drop our homeworks from today's call, so we can: 1. Look back in the future at how far we've come (always fun to look back at past struggles in retrospective and be proud of ourselves); 2. Share with each other that we are not alone - and potentially give each other advice in case someone struggled with something in the past;
