A year ago, this all started on a run. I was trying to work through something in my own life, and I started asking questions about why we keep falling into the same patterns, why we believe things about ourselves that hold us back, and why sometimes we don't even realise those beliefs are making our decisions for us. That little question became AVA- a custom ChatGPT bot built on my frameworks. I had no big plan, no proof that anyone else needed it. Just an idea that I couldn't seem to let go of. I kept building, and within six weeks AVA was reaching people in six countries. The messages I've received since then have reminded me why I started. And last night, I was chosen as Minister of Product Development in the DMS community of over 1,500 members. A year ago, I wouldn't have dreamt of this. Now I'm on the brink of taking everything I've learned with AVA into something even bigger. Because here's what I've come to realise: recognising what's holding you back is only the beginning. What do you actually DO with that awareness? That's where LIV comes in. Helping you take those little moments of awareness and turn them into real changes in how you think, feel, choose and live. My dream has always been to create something practical. Something that doesn't just make you think differently for a moment, but helps you build a life that feels different. I'm incredibly proud of how far this little idea has come, and I honestly believe we're only getting started. If you'd like to get a sneak peek, complete your FREE HERO CODE assessment.

Happy Heritage Day! 😁🤣

Story time...... 😀 There was once a builder who was given a piece of land. She did not choose it. Nor did she choose its soil, its contours, its history, or what had happened there before she arrived. It was simply the ground she had been given. So before she built anything, she studied it. She discovered where it was firm and where it shifted. Where water gathered. Where the earth was depleted. Where roots had once grown. Where something had disturbed the soil. Some parts were fertile. Some needed work. Some surprised her. There were things in the ground she had never known were there. She could have spent her life wishing for a different piece of land. Instead, she began working with the ground she had. She added compost. Introduced organic matter. Loosened what had become hard. And gave life back to places that had become depleted. Slowly, almost imperceptibly, the soil began to change. But the builder didn't wait for the ground to become perfect before she began building. She began with what was there. And while building, she continued to cultivate the ground. Season by season, the soil became richer. What had once seemed depleted began to hold life again. The builder looked at the land and realised something: She did not choose the ground. But she could participate in what it became. So she keeps building and cultivating. And the ground keeps becoming. 🪱🌊 ☀️🌻

I choose to be the woman, business owner, mother, wife and daughter that gets things done, even if it means I will be seen. I am leaving behind the pattern of rationalising my fears as believable excuses. Intentionally keeping track of my progress. Set daily tasks for the next day and tick them off every night. To keep myself accountable for my growth moving forward.

Ok, I'm going to be transparent. Since losing my husband and trying to find my feet, I felt lost and overwhelmed most days - nearly 9 months and I'm still trying to stay afloat. And ONCE AGAIN, things got too hectic and I stopped. I stopped with my pattern interrupt, BUT it somewhere on my TO DO LIST I still had it as a huge priority in the back of my head and I finally completed DAY4! Small, baby steps and I'm super proud of myself. (Even though it feels like the only productive thing I did today - apart from sending out some emails). I personally know how much AVA has helped me in my solo journey so far and I'm determined to finish it! After a recap of my first 3 Days of my Pattern Interrupt, this is my line and realisation: I’d rather risk disappointment than abandon my dreams and play it safe. There is too much at stake.
