When Good Advice Leads You Off Course

What I learned from chasing someone else’s shiny strategy—and how I found my way back.

I took the advice of someone I deeply respected.

She had results. Numbers. Growth. A strategy that clearly worked. And I thought: maybe that’s what I need to finally break through. So I followed her model. Ten short notes a day. Minimal photos. Quick hits. Rinse and repeat.

And within 24 hours, something unexpected happened.

I was exhausted.

Not the good kind of tired, like after a long walk or a deep conversation.
But soul tired. Empty. Like I had poured myself out and missed the cup.

I sat at my desk and listed what I had accomplished: posts written, metrics tracked, boxes checked.
Then I went and took a nap.

That nap turned into clarity.

The advice wasn’t bad.
It just wasn’t meant for me.

I don’t write to win at strategy.
I write from my soul.
I’m not here to master the algorithm.
I’m here to stir something sacred in women who are finally ready to discover what else life could hold.

I’m not here for the numbers.
I’m here for the nudges—the ones that tell you there is more, even if you can’t name it yet.

Yes, a shiny strategy pulled me off course.
Yes, I got tired trying to make it fit.

But fatigue isn’t failure.
It’s a message. A mirror.
And sometimes, a nap and some quiet are all it takes to come back to center.

This is me, coming back.

Back to trusting that the women who need this space will find it.
Back to believing that soul-based work draws soul-led women.
Back to creating not to attract the masses—but to awaken the few who are ready.

I’m not chasing numbes anymore.
I’m holding a lantern to light your path.

If you’re here, reading this, I trust that something in you is stirring.
And I’m here for that.
Not to rush you.
But to remind you that even a whisper within you deserves to be followed.

This is the reset.
And the joy is already coming back.
