How We Got Here
AT THE END OF 2025, my brain reached maximum capacity for overwhelm.
I was at the end of a 3-year contract on the space for my business and wrestling with whether or not to renew. We had just lost a stylist, and we’d learned in the three years since we opened that finding new ones that fit the vibe was not always quick and easy to do. Margins for any new business are razor-thin, and the rent for our lovely Highlands house left no room for error.
At the same time, I was trying to decide which area of my business needed my focus the most. Everything feels like a top priority when nothing seems to be running at steady state. The pressure to engage with social media more was ever-present, though that time investment doesn’t always lead to an immediate payout. There are at least three books in various phases of completion swirling around in my brain and on my laptop; determining if any of them are best sellers requires a major emotional and energetic investment to bring them to fruition. I have an inventory of retail that could potentially sell more if I untangled the mystery of Google ads or Instagram shop.
Or maybe I should do more markets... or higher a social media manager... or move to a smaller building with less overhead... or supplemented my income with a whole other day job...
I FOUND MYSELF SPINNING MY MENTAL WHEELS, which tend to pick up a lot of momentum if I don’t throw some resistance in their path. Standing in the shop one evening I had the conscious thought, “I need to know what’s the most bang-for-my-buck action to take right now.”
And when you ask questions, the Universe answers.
The solution started downloading in my brain before I even had the question fully formed. So I chose to take the advice I give out to clients all the time: I listened to my Psychic Brain before Human Brain had a chance to argue.
I went into my sacred space, opened my laptop, and poured out everything I knew I needed to do.
What came out was a methodology for quieting my human brain in order to hear my intuition better.
And listen, none of this is exactly revolutionary. We’ve all heard the guidance for manifesting to be clear and specific with your goals and to just get out of the way so the Universe can deliver. The question that usually comes up though, is HOW the heck do I do that? What’s a clear enough goal? What do I do while I wait for the Universe to cook up my solutions? These are the sticking points that have caused me to false start.
So, I pared it all down.
I gave myself permission to just want what I want without hedging on it. I shifted my focus from figuring out the solution to just settling the hell down. My only job was to regulate, to do the simple things well, to stay in my line and patiently allow the solutions to present themselves – it’s treating the Universe and your manifestations like a cat, just ignore them a little and don’t want it too much, and they’ll come curl up on your lap and purr.
I gave myself permission to try it for 21 days.
My money wouldn’t run out in 21 days, my business wouldn’t collapse. It was an experiment, and if it failed, I would be no worse for the wear (because what else was I doing anyway other than worrying?).
Over the course of the following month, I won the negotiation for our lease extension on the Highlands house and got all the changes I had requested. I was inspired to revamp my bookkeeping methodology in a way that revealed much more profitability than I had understood up to that point. A little creative problem-solving with my business partner led to the most lucrative January on record.
In parallel with the business momentum, I met a romantic partner that checks boxes I didn’t even know were possible to check. I entered into a romantic relationship for the first time in more than five years with someone who fits like a missing puzzle piece into my life. I cut ties effortlessly on a friendship that was taking way more than it was giving. The dynamics within the shop improved without any action on our part.
Everything. Just. Clicked.
And it started with committing to the goal and giving myself permission to want it.
