Happy HAPPY 2024 friends. 🪩🥂✨ I’m so freaking pumped to be back on the blog kicking off a FRESH YEAR with ya’ll. 🥳 In 2023 my biggest goal was to just get this community UP and RUNNING. I wanted a space where women could come and be poured into each week. A space where we were real + raw about the journey of living a life on + for a purpose. And a space where we didn’t feel so alone in our journeys + the uncomfy spaces along the way that translate into growth.

And as we head into a fresh year, I am committed to creating more and more of that type of content for YOU. The woman who knows she was made for more. The woman who deeply desires to wear her hats well. The woman who also wants to make sure she cares for herself along the way, too. This past year I coached myself a lot in making what I was calling at the time “best self choices.” Things like hitting my water goals, sticking to my meal plan, cold therapy, movement, getting outside for dog walks, limiting alcohol, getting quality rest, journaling, meditation, and the list goes on...

And the more and more I showed up to these choices, I began to realize that while, YES, I have the potential to feel like my BEST SELF when I do these particular things (hence the name…BEST SELF CHOICES), I also realized that this dance is delicate. I don’t always get it right. Can we NORMALIZE not being perfect every single day, ya’ll? Can we NORMALIZE that even though I DO the things that help me FEEL my best….I’m a freaking human and I don’t always ACT my best?

I started to realize that my choices don’t always leave me as my “best.” And that’s the reality of the human experience…not every day is going to be your best. We have highs and lows and inbetweens. I realized, that these choices…they actually DO something entirely MORE powerful. When I show up to these “best self choices” (even if I’m not “at my best”) they help me become UNSTOPPABLE. Bc consistency is my game for the things that help me move the needle towards my best self. Does that make sense? I hope so…bc

This YEAR I want to help you become UNSTOPPABLE.

The kind of you who is focused. Intentional. Clear. And consistent AF.

Here’s the deal, though. Being unstoppable doesn’t mean you never experience fear or face setbacks. It’s about not allowing fear or failure to dictate your next best choice. It’s about peeling back the layers one by one that have covered up your truest, most confident self and stepping boldly into the life you were created to live out and lead.

I know I call this a SELF CARE sisterhood, but to me, self care goes beyond the bubble baths. Real self care is a deep ownership of the life you were given. And that’s where I wanna go this year, together.

So to start…how do we become unstoppable in 2024 and beyond?! Let’s dive in.

BECOMING UNSTOPPABLE in 2024: The Four Stages of Transformation

If you know me you know I’m a junkie for all things personal + professional growth / development. I love going to events and I love making sure on my calendar every year I have a couple virtual events sprinkled in the mix. A few years back I attended a virtual event called the “UNSTOPPABLE WOMAN SUMMIT.” It was led by Karissa Kouchis who is a part of the Tony Robbins team. I love this event because it’s curated for women and it’s just electric.

During the event we got this framework for becoming unstoppable and it’s honestly stuck ever since. Nothing I’m going to share with you is mind blowing today but isn’t that how it goes? The most transformative things are usually found in the simplest of daily practices. My goal is to help you walk away from this time together feeling a little more confident and with a little more purpose, so that you can get after all that’s laid on your heart in the year to come and beyond.

Stage 1: GETTING CLEAR.

The journey to becoming unstoppable begins with getting really freaking CLEAR about your current foundation. When we were building our home in Dallas I couldn’t start with adding in all the fun decor and inner projects. It started with getting the ground prepped and ready to HOLD the kind of dreams we had for that space. Your journey is no different. If your foundation is shakey then everything you build on top will also be. You want something you can stand on.

When something is OFF we tend to feel it, right? Especially as women. It’s those internal, gut feelings. Part of growing into our most unstoppable self is not allowing those inner knowings to go unheard. We have to listen bc the quicker we can get to the root of why something is off, the quicker we can rebuild. Maybe it’s that the work you once loved has become more like a cage holding you back. Or you’ve outgrown a relationship. Or maybe you can’t really put your finger on it but you just know that lately you’ve been feeling a little blah.

I know for me a lot of times in my journey I was the thing that was holding me back. Can anyone relate? Tony Robbins says it perfectly…

“We only grow our life and business success to the level where we have placed chokeholds on ourselves.”

Chokeholds, in this case, could be limiting beliefs we have or mental fears we rehearse over and over again…basically anything that’s stopping us from getting started. And bc of these, we die inside our head even before our real biological time is up…never taking the chance to design the life, relationships, health, business, etc that we dream of. Truthfully…just settling. That’s where that blah feeling comes in. We’re no longer living in alignment with our potential and that feeling is a sign it’s time to level up.

So what’s holding you back? What are some of the ideas or dreams you’ve allowed to die out in your mind? This is where we bring them back to life. Where we AWAKEN those dreams that have laid dormant. Where you realize that if it’s laid on your heart, it’s for YOU. Get clear on what it is you want to achieve…but ALSO get clear on the type of woman you desire to be. Instead of just thinking “I want to lose 10 lbs” becoming unstoppable is owning the fact that you are a healthy woman who takes care of her body.

Truth bomb, friends. It’s a form of self abandonment when you resist making a change you know could improve your life.

Get clear on what you want. Own it. Make it YOURS.

Stage 2: CREATE A VISION.

One of the greatest human desires is to have a life marked my meaningful pursuits. A piece of scripture I love says that the people will perish where there is no vision (Proverbs 29:18) and I can’t agree more. The times in my life when I’ve felt MOST LOST are the times when I’ve lacked vision for where I want to go. When I’m just living the same day on loop. Gosh friends…there is nothing worse for your performance in life than to wake up and simply go thru the motions of living over and over and over again. I don’t want that kind of life and I have a sneaking suspicion that if you’re here…you don’t either.

Most people get stuck in step one bc they KNOW somethings off and probably even KNOW what needs to change. They get clear. They see the gap. And then they get discouraged. But if you want to become UNSTOPPABLE you have to move THRU discouragement into action. If you feel discouraged and you stop that simply means you stopped allowing yourself to be in PROGRESS. But if you can feel discouraged and move THRU it, this means you’re GROWING. Discouragement is simply a mirror of what you don’t know or the skills you don’t have, YET.

So what do you really WANT with your one precious life? This is about envisioning a future that aligns with what YOU actually want and then setting the stage for profound and lasting change. But hear me out…just because you envision all these amazing things doesn’t mean you need to rush thru January and get it all done. There’s time. I promise.

At the top of last year I was looking at a blank slate. I had recently laid down my fitness coaching business and was looking at the year ahead just ENVISIONING all I could do. And TBH it was A LOT. So I took time to get it all out of my head (where it felt really freaking overwhelming) and onto something tangible I could see + hold. I grabbed a marker and a white board and wrote out all the really cool things I could do in the year to come. Things that would align with where I wanted my life to go and a foundation that was strong enough to hold me through it. Nothing was off limits. Nothing was too small or too big to write down. If it was an idea I had for the business that I thought I could be good at ONE DAY I wrote it out.

Why am I telling you this? Because after I wrote out that list I did something most people aren’t going to talk about in a blog about being UNSTOPPABLE -

I SLOWED DOWN.

I took everything in. Looked at what made the MOST sense to start first that would help ALL THE OTHER goals eventually happen. And then I gave it an entire quarter to implement. I grabbed my calendar and assigned a FOCUS to each quarter based on the goals I had set. By the time I got to the end of the year I was BLOWN AWAY at how much I had created + checked off of that original vision in such a short amount of time. And it’s bc I got clear, I grabbed onto a vision, and I worked through it in BITE SIZE chunks.

I don’t know what your vision looks like, but I do know that it probably feels really overwhelming…like how do I get THERE from HERE?!

I get this. Which is why I’m telling you you’ve GOT to slow down. There is no rush on your calling. There is no hurry to get your purpose. You are living it out everytime you show up and do the dang thing.

Stage 3: MAKE IT REAL.

This transitions into the next stage of becoming unstoppable and that’s where we MAKE IT REAL by DOING THE DANG THING. Thinking about change is one thing, but living it is another. You actually have to DO things and LIVE the transformation out in order to get to the results you desire. Transformation is when we make our dreams + goals REAL. It’s a growing season and friends…you know I say growth looks good on you but IT. IS. HARD. I don’t think this gets talked about enough and I want to normalize that there will be struggle on the way to your goals.

As children, many of us learn about the life cycle of a caterpillar morphing into a butterfly. The story, as I would tell it to my students + how you probably remember it too, usually began with a very hungry caterpillar hatching from an egg. The caterpillar eats ALL the leaves, growing bigger and longer and then one day, it stops eating, hangs upside down from a twig or leaf and spins itself a silky cocoon. From there, the caterpillar transforms its body, emerging as this beautiful butterfly. Like magic, right?

And that’s a fairly accurate and fun way to tell in a story or remember as a kid. But that’s not really the whole story. That cute little picture leaves out some pretty significant details. The change inside the chrysalis is slow and gradual while the caterpillar’s body literally digests itself from the inside out. Ya’ll. DIGESTS ITSELF. And if that’s not enough…the caterpillar is attacked by the same sort of juices that it used in its earlier life to digest food. The same things that once were GOOD for a caterpillar are now destroying it. There’s a reason we feel growing PAINS, ya’ll bc this is what it feels like when you’re remaining in spaces + around people you’ve outgrown. If you were to open up a chrysalis at this stage, what was once a caterpillar would look like what they call “caterpillar soup.”

This is what it takes to become the butterfly. There’s a breakdown involved. There’s a transformation that often happens in spaces no one else can see in order to get us to the next level.

MAKING IT REAL IS THIS SPACE.

This is a growing season. A season of change and shedding. Of letting things fall away that can no longer come with us. Of allowing new things to grow in their place. This is the space to surrender and just be.

Most people don’t love this step. That’s why most people don’t become unstoppable. If you’re lucky enough to get clear on what you want with your life and then bold enough to cast the vision, don’t stumble in this step. The struggle is part of the process. It is refining you. It is remaking you. Honor the struggle.

The people who quit are the ones who think struggle shouldn’t be there. But what if the struggle is placed there to see if you really want it? There are a lot of people who are casual about life. So they give up on the first onset of struggle and this is why they aren’t UNSTOPPABLE. But friends…avoidance is a great strategy for short term comfort. It really is. You can avoid the discomfort of change all you want. You’ll be comfortable for awhile. But it’s also a great strategy to guarantee long term suffering. So pick your hard.

Hear me on this: You don’t have to have the big fancy things in order to make your vision come true…what you need is to be in motion towards the desires on your heart. It’s the daily forward momentum towards the things that matter to you. Expect the struggle. Honor the struggle. Move thru the struggle.

There’s a story of the vine and the branches in the Bible that says “He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.”

A few years back I was studying this passage and really marinating on it. I began to think about wine country, naturally, because it’s such a beautiful image of vines and fruit. And I got to thinking about when a branch is being pruned, it happens with a tool that a person is holding in their hands. A gardener can’t prune a plant far away…they are close. So if I’m being pruned…if I’m in the struggle…I also remember that God is near. In your most uncomfortable moments of being pruned, molded, shaped, refined this year, please know that God is so so close in that process. He’s cutting away all the things that can’t come with you to get to the vision you have. He’s lovingly doing it so you can be healthy and grow…not to stop you.

So when you face trials this year, know that it’s the pruning. That it’s a necessary part of the process. And that God is near.

Stage 4: MAKE IT LAST.

The last stage is when it really gets fun. It’s my favorite part of this process. It’s where we make MOMENTUM bc we’ve built so much CONSISTENCY. It’s in this space that you truly start creating the life of your dreams bc it’s become an integrated part of WHO YOU ARE. That’s when you know you’re becoming UNSTOPPABLE…when you can embody your goals as simply a piece of WHO YOU ARE.

And a huge part of “making it last” is continuing to grow + make moves towards your best self even when you’ve lost the energy or motivation you once had. Because hear me out:

FUTURE YOU is depending on CURRENT YOU to keep the promises PAST YOU made when you were really excited.

How do we do this? Well I want you to remember that energy is generated. I don’t want you to HOPE you have energy or HOPE you have motivation. Hope isn’t a strategy unless you’re a victim. I want you to learn how to GENERATE it. I want you to walk into your day creating the kind of energy + motivation you need to keep showing up to your calling.

Think about it…a powerplant doesn’t have energy, it generates it. What a powerplant does is it takes energy from one source and transforms it into a higher source so it can transmit it. As humans we complain about our energy all the time. And so often we’re trying to find energy in all the wrong places. How are you managing your energy throughout the day? Is it with hits of caffeine or sugar or scrolling social? Because all of those things can give you a dopamine hit pretty quick, but it doesn’t last and it’s not real. What about LIFE GIVING REAL DOPAMINE hits? Movement, fresh air + sunlight, cold therapy or a cold shower, meditation, and hydration? You’re either being intentional and generating the energy you need or you’re simply going thru the motions. And to “make it last” you can’t go thru the motions anymore friends. This is where we live with FOCUS + INTENTION.

And I’ve talked about this before…the idea of energy management. We all have the same hours in the day and our bodies all have different times when there is MORE energy naturally for each of us and less. For me I’m at my best earlier in the day and a spike usually late afternoon. But try getting me to do anything creative right after lunch or in the evening I’m usually toast. I’ve learned this about myself and bc of that I give myself strategic resets throughout my day. I’ve also learned that when I host workshops or trainings, like the coaching calls I do for The Sisterhood Membership or when I’m in a big launch phase…those are really high energy moments for me and I know that the following days after I have to take intentional time to be alone and refill my energy tank. I’m learning how to manage my energy in ways that work for me and in order to make it last…with whatever it is you’re trying to achieve…you’ve got to do the same. Seasons of push + intensity are going to be important, but also seasons of rest and going inward. It all matters.

Like I said…we all have the same amount of hours in the day. The difference is that some people are managing their energy in productive ways and other people are burning themselves into the ground. So go back to what I said about the long game…about slowing down. About remembering that you have time to accomplish all of this, but you won’t if you’re burnt out. And you can’t be UNSTOPPABLE if you’re completely empty, right?

OKAY…LOVE THIS BUT WANT EVEN MORE?!

For the FIRST TIME on January 15th, I’m hosting a VISION BOARD WORKSHOP to kick off the year. It’s called YOUR UNSTOPPABLE SELF and my goal is to help you create a VISION for 2024 that makes you want to show up and make PROGRESS towards it. So often we skip the KEY STEPS of becoming UNSTOPPABLE bc we dive right into action and then get burnt out, overwhelmed, and frustrated when we don’t make progress. 

I want this year to be DIFFERENT. I want to teach you how to become UNSTOPPABLE. 

In this LIVE workshop you’ll get:

✺ a digital/printable goal setting workbook that will help you reflect on the past, create a vision for the future, and bridge the gap to make those dreams a REALITY. 

✺ a 90 minute workshop where I’ll guide you through the process of creating a vision board that not only aligns with the goals you set for your BEST, most UNSTOPPABLE self, but also reflects the habits, behaviors, and routines you need to adopt as well. 

This goes BEYOND visualizing your "dream life” and then letting it collect dust for the rest of the year...you’ll be creating a deep sense of OWNERSHIP for who you are when you’re AT YOUR BEST…laying the foundation for a year that can truly be UNSTOPPABLE. 

✺ and then you’ll also get a digital vision board template via Canvas to help you create your vision board OR use as a guide to make a physical one if that’s your jam, too. 

Can't make it live? No stress — once you snag your ticket to join us you will have access to ALL materials, including a replay of the workshop after it’s over. 

If the start of the year has you feeling excited for a fresh start, but unsure of where to begin. Or maybe you see the goals you have but the gap feels really freaking big. Or you just keep finding yourself on the same hamster wheel each year feeling like your efforts aren’t actually getting you to your goals…THIS IS FOR YOU. 

If you’re ready to make 2024 + truly…BEYOND…UNSTOPPABLE, then I’d love to have you join us in the YOUR UNSTOPPABLE SELF VISION BOARD WORKSHOP. 🤍

As we step into 2024 and wrap this up I hope + pray you can embody these 4 principles of becoming unstoppable - getting clear on what it is you truly want to pursue + who you want to be, taking time to craft that vision for where you’re headed, put in the work and make the journey REAL by doing the dang thing…even when it’s tough, and make it last by being the kind of woman who doesn’t give up.

Your journey is unique and there is NO LIMIT to the potential you have my friends. I want you to walk away feeling that and believing that. Remember that future you is depending on current you to keep the promises you’re making right now. Consistency is you superpower this year. And the power to be unstoppable is IN you. I know this bc you’re here. You’re growing. You’re learning. You’re reading a blog about BECOMING UNSTOPPABLE. So I know you want this for you…and I want it for you too.

I’m rooting for you and I can’t wait to see how 2024 is the year you truly become UNSTOPPABLE!
