working from pressure

Let’s talk about something I’ve seen in so many women (and definitely in myself):

We confuse hustle with alignment.

We think if we just push harder, squeeze more into the day, cross more off the list… then we’ll finally feel like we’re getting somewhere.

But pressure isn’t a strategy—it’s a survival mechanism. And it’s not meant to be your homebase.

If you’ve been feeling exhausted, disconnected, or even resentful of the very things you once prayed for… that’s not failure. That’s feedback.

Here’s the truth:
Pressure can get you started—but it can’t carry you.

Real traction comes when you reconnect with purpose. When your actions are rooted in meaning, not just momentum. When you’re pulled forward by what lights you up, not pushed by what weighs you down.

So if you’ve been running on fumes lately, I want to invite you into a 3-minute pause today.

Just grab your journal—or the notes app on your phone—and try this:

📝 Journaling Prompt:
What do I really want right now—and why does it matter to me?

Don’t edit yourself. Don’t filter. Just see what comes out.
Sometimes the shift begins with one honest sentence.

And if this resonates, know you’re not alone.
This month, I’m helping women like you realign—not with pressure, but with passion.

Let’s slow down to move forward, together.
