You may or may not have read the email I sent a couple days ago. Whether you did or didn’t, I still want to share this with you—because I made a promise to show up and not get stuck again. And also, I it’s different when you hear it read.

This video is just under 10 minutes. It’s a clip of me reading that email out loud to my Inner Circle peeps, before I sent it out. I thought: maybe I should share that “share.”

So here it is. And f it helps—you can treat it like a little co-working session.

We do these once a week inside my Inner Circle group. We set an intention for what we’ll get done during our time together, and we check in before, during and after. It keeps us accountable and reminds us we’re not alone while we work.

You can do that here too. Pick something that’s been bugging you—or anything that needs to be done —and stick with it for the 10 minutes we’re together.

What I Read to My Inner Circle

I’ve been quiet lately. Not gone—just quiet. The truth is, I’ve been working behind the scenes nonstop, trying to figure out tech, content, systems… but not really getting anything out there. And I haven’t been living much life either.

Still, I’ve kept showing up for my Inner Circle members every single week. That never stopped. It’s what I love most. But I know I can’t keep doing just that. If I don’t build something sustainable, I’ll have to shut it all down—and that scares me more than the fear I’ve been stuck in.

I’m excited again. Nervous, too. I’ve got two new directions I believe in deeply. But stepping forward after being MIA—even when its aligned—brings up so much fear.

What if I mess up? What if it’s too much? What if no one responds?

Still, I know I have to do this.

I’m in South Carolina right now, by myself for nine days, fully committed to making The Tidy Tutor sustainable. Not just for me, but for the people who need it most. I know I can’t quit, and I can’t keep doing what I’ve been doing. So here I am. Saying it out loud.

I’m nervous. I’m excited. And that’s okay.

A Word About Fear, Resistance, and What Came Up

At one point I had everything set up and felt good… and then I shut down. I sat on the porch and fell asleep sitting upright. That’s what I sometimes do to myself—I shut off.

I sought advice and this is what I got.

“That frozen, anxious feeling when things are finally coming together is incredibly common, especially for women like you who have poured your heart into your work… You’re not just selling a service. You’re inviting people into transformation. And that requires you to step into a new version of yourself too.”

I even got something to print out as a reminder.

“Breathe. There’s no emergency. Nothing needs to be figured out all at once. You’re not behind. You’re not stuck. This is just a moment. A part of stepping into something bigger.”

That’s what I needed to hear. Maybe you need it too.

We Start With Faith…

Even with a great plan, we need to believe that we can. If we don’t believe we can do something, we won’t do it. When we have a proven plan, we can succeed at whatever we need to do, but sometimes, we just have to start by borrowing someone else’s belief in us. And if you don’t believe in yourself right now, I believe in you. Please believe me—you can do it.

Start with one small thing. Or dive in with both feet. You know who you are. Just do it anyway. Do it afraid. But don’t wait.

This Is My Mission

This work is my calling. And maybe that’s why it’s been so hard to move. It means so much to me. And when something matters that much, fear can sneak in through the cracks. In my case it created cracks and craters!

But I’m still here. I haven’t forgotten you. In fact, you’re in my prayers every day.

Thanks for being here with me. I’ll keep showing up. And as I tune into what’s next, I’ll keep sharing it with you.

With love,
Kathy
