You already know who the fuck you are.

You’ve had days where you’re so fucking clear on who you are, what you want, and what you believe is possible that nobody could talk you out of it.

But then life gives you a reason to question.

Something you thought was inevitable doesn’t work out the way you thought it would. The money in your bank account isn’t moving. Somebody misunderstands what you said. You create something and the response is underwhelming.

Or maybe nothing happens. You just wake up three days later and don’t feel nearly as certain as you did when you made the choice.

Yesterday you knew.

Today you’re outsourcing your knowing to whatever feeling is the strongest or whatever reality is currently showing you.

And every time you do that, you’re teaching yourself that something outside of you still gets more authority over who you are than you do.

That’s bigger than having a shitty day or losing confidence.

It’s underneath what you create and whether you keep creating when nobody’s clapping yet. It’s underneath what you ask for, what you charge, what you say, what you tolerate, what you walk away from, and how much you’re willing to want before you start talking yourself back down.

Not because you need more confidence, better strategy, or someone smarter telling you what to do and how to do it.

But because it’s easy to outsource your knowing to your past mistakes, your current reality, or everything that could potentially go wrong next.

You’ve done enough work on yourself to recognize when you’re doubting yourself, spiraling, looking for proof, or giving something outside of you more authority than it deserves.

You can understand exactly why you don’t trust yourself and still find yourself doing it on a regular basis.

You can have a massive breakthrough on Tuesday and be back negotiating with yourself on Friday.

Self-loyalty isn’t something you finally understand well enough that you never doubt yourself again.

It’s something you practice.

It’s choosing yourself when you’re certain and when you’re not.

When there’s evidence and when there isn’t.

When what you chose is working and when it looks like it’s going completely sideways.

When you feel powerful and when you feel like a fucking fraud.

The goal is never to become so confident, healed, or certain that nothing ever shakes you again.

Giving yourself permission to want what you want, believe what you believe, change your mind, take up more space, ask for more, and stop requiring someone or something outside of you to approve it first.

Choice is the ultimate disruptor. We practice making choices that interrupt the old patterns, the fear, the doubt, and all the reasons you’ve collected for why you can’t, shouldn’t, or aren’t ready yet.

And then we express it. Edging your comfort zone, expanding your capacity to be seen, speaking up in ways that might make you look like a disruptor if that’s who you really are, and taking risks that sometimes make you want to throw up but you know are ultimately catapulting you to your next level.
