You're Not Behind

It's September and I'm watching everyone lose their (excuse my French) s h * t.

Some in big ways, some in smaller — but I definitely see it across the board.

"I'm so behind on my goals." "This year is almost over and I haven't..." "I should be further along by now."

Stop, my loves.

Take a breath.

You're not behind. You're exactly where you are.

And that might be the most radical thing I can tell you right now.

You are here! So, that is exactly where you’re meant to be. Because it is. It is the present state of reality.

Because here's what I've learned after years of building businesses and working with women who are doing the same: The season you think you should be in and the season you're actually in are rarely the same thing.

Maybe you thought 2025 would be your "scale to six figures" year. But instead it became your "learn to say no" year. Your "heal the people-pleasing" year. Your "figure out what you actually want" year.

That's not failure. That's build your foundation.

Maybe you thought this would be your "launch the big program" season. But instead it's your "get my systems straight" season. Your "build real relationships" season. Your "stop hustling from panic" season.

That's not being behind. That's being smart.

I spent so many years trying to force myself into seasons I wasn't ready for. Launching when I needed to be learning. Scaling when I needed to be stabilizing. Pushing when I needed to be processing.

It was exhausting. And often expensive.

And it kept me stuck way longer than if I'd just honored where I actually was.

The truth is, business growth isn't linear. It's seasonal.

Sometimes you're in expansion mode. Sometimes you're in integration mode. Sometimes you're in what-the-hell-is-happening mode, and that's okay too.

The women who build businesses that last? They learn to work with their seasons, not against them.

What does this look like? Mimicking the intelligence of nature. AKA — They plant seeds when it's time to plant. They harvest when it's time to harvest. They rest when it's time to rest. Even when Instagram tells them they should be doing something else.

So if you're looking at September thinking you're behind, ask yourself this:

What if you're not behind at all? What if you're exactly where you need to be to build something that will actually sustain you?

What if this "slow" season was teaching you patience? This "messy" season was teaching you resilience? This "quiet" season was teaching you to trust yourself without external validation?

What if instead of being behind, you're being prepared?

Your business doesn't need you to be anywhere other than where you are right now. It needs you to be present to this season, this lesson, this moment.

And trust that you're building something worth the wait.

MANTRA OF THE WEEK: I am exactly where I need to be. I honor my season. I trust my timing.

Keep going! This season is exactly where you need to be.

Con mucho amor,
