Built to Rise: The Power of Becoming Resourceful
There comes a time in life and business when the hustle no longer works.
When chasing perfection becomes exhausting.
And when waiting until you “feel ready” only keeps you stuck.
What actually moves the needle?
Resilience.
And resourcefulness.
Not having all the answers, but trusting yourself to figure it out along the way.
Not feeling fearless, but taking the next step despite the fear.
That’s how real progress happens.
Laying the Foundation for What Comes Next
The best seasons of growth are often the ones that begin with reflection.
Asking the hard questions.
Stripping back what no longer fits.
Getting honest about what you want, what you value, and what truly lights you up.
That clarity doesn’t come from doing more.
It comes from alignment.
What emerged for me through that process wasn’t a new goal.
It was a new decision:
I’m no longer available for playing small.
Setting Goals That Actually Mean Something
When I set goals now, they’re not about ticking boxes.
They’re about aligning with what matters: growth, joy, impact, and connection.
Whether it’s:
- Speaking on more stages
- Hosting transformational workshops
- Expanding my coaching practice
- Writing my next book
- Prioritising health and energy
- Or simply creating more space for fun
These goals are rooted in who I’ve become, not who I think I should be.
That’s the shift.
It’s not about doing more.
It’s about doing what matters with intention.
Resilience and Resourcefulness Still Win
Years ago, I stepped into the hospitality industry without any experience.
No background. No training. No blueprint.
Just vision, grit, and the willingness to figure it out.
That journey taught me more than any business course ever could.
I learned how to lead.
How to fail forward.
How to keep going when everything felt like it was falling apart.
And most importantly how to back myself.
That’s what I now help others do.
Because you don’t need certainty.
You need courage.
You need resilience.
And you need to become the most resourceful person you know.
Your Environment Shapes Your Growth
One of the smartest decisions I’ve made is choosing to put myself in rooms that challenge me.
Rooms filled with people who think bigger.
People who stretch my vision.
People who mirror back what’s possible when you stop playing small.
Your environment affects how fast you grow.
Your proximity to boldness influences your own.
And when you surround yourself with the right people, everything shifts your mindset, your momentum, your standard.
Success loves speed.
But clarity loves support.
Progress Is Always the Goal
Forget perfection.
It’s progress that builds confidence.
That means showing up on the good days and the hard ones.
For me, that looks like:
- Journaling daily
- Moving my body
- Honouring my health
- Clarifying my message
- Saying yes to discomfort and no to misalignment
Even the small rituals matter.
Like my morning sauna and cold plunge.
It’s not about trends, it's about training my mind to do hard things.
Because resilience is built in the decision to keep going.
And resourcefulness is forged when you decide you’re capable of figuring things out.
Final Word
Whatever you’re working toward, let it be meaningful.
Let it be aligned.
Let it be bigger than your fear.
You don’t need to know how it all unfolds.
You just need to take the first step.
Write it down.
Declare it.
Move toward it.
Because the version of you you’re becoming?
She already exists.
Your job is to meet her.
And build a life, business, and legacy that’s aligned with who you really are.
