Let’s put our hearts + wallets together for Texas “Some losses are so great, they belong to all of us.” ​~ Dr. Zelena This quote was shared by my client and friend Rachel Muir, who lives in Texas and camped along the Guadalupe as a girl.

How to find your next step in business when you have no idea what to do

For years I played the hero of online business.

The one you wanted to be. The one with the famous clients. The one who charged ten thousand a day. The one who spoke on popular podcasts. The one giving the keynote. The one with the glitter pants.

I played the one who had the answers.

One day I woke up and I didn’t feel like that person anymore. I had more questions than answers. Despite how much they had helped me, my leaders were no longer aligned with the person I was becoming.

This was 2019, when my journey of wayfinding began in earnest.*

After four years of outsourcing trust and belonging, I had to reclaim those things for myself. I had to find new criteria for choosing my leaders and teachers, other than how much money they made, how good they looked on camera, or how well-produced their programs appeared.

I also had to convince others that I was still trustworthy, even with no makeup on, even when my revenue was trending down.

At times it felt like a dense thicket I would never find my way through. But I surrendered, letting its thorns pull me apart so that I could be reformed into something new. While there is still a lot of road ahead (the wayfinding is never done), this journey has been one of the most meaningful of my life—akin to marriage and raising my children.

Wayfinding is the journey you signed up for when you bought your first online program, set up your first website, or posted your first blog, and I’d like to support you in it.

On Wednesday, July 24 I’m doing something I’ve never done before.

Instead of teaching and telling you what to do (i.e. giving you the answer), I’ll be facilitating an open, live workshop for my community to help you return to self-leadership, and work with your peers to find your way—whether it’s starting a new business, sunsetting an offer, bringing on a partner, or figuring out how to take a sabbatical.

You are already a wayfinder, no matter where you’re at in your business. You have a lifetime of experience and wisdom to contribute to the collective body, so that others may chart their path as well.

I want to help you come home to your innate sense of direction and inner knowing, and bring you into community with other wayfinders who are forging a path in online business.

It’s called WAYFINDER, and you can register here →

(This experience is limited to 50 participants. I need you to read the whole page and know what you’re signing up for, so there’s no 1-click auto-signup.**)

This isn’t a teaching call, and the recording will not be shared.

This is part of my upcoming promotion for my mastermind Power, but more importantly, it’s part of a larger transition I want to make in my business, from being an answer-giver, to being a provider of virtual and in-person experiences that help you return to self-leadership and plug into collective wisdom—instead of looking to blueprints and bossbabes for answers.

One of the greatest harms of online business is that it teaches you to trust people on the internet more than you trust yourself.

Wayfinding is the process of rebuilding the trust that was stolen from you.

It is no small task, so I want to help you do it.

Scratch that.

I don’t want to help you.

I want all of us to help each other.

Let’s get together for a collective wayfinding through the confusing world of internet gurus and proven methods, and discover what could be possible.

All are welcome, with or without your makeup on.**

* While Wayfinding is a term used in urban design, psychology, and personal development, its origins lie in the sacred navigation traditions of Indigenous Pacific Islander cultures. While I’m using the term in a metaphorical sense, I also want to honor its roots and hold respect for the ancestral knowledge keepers who continue to practice this tradition. I’ll talk more about this in a future email.
