I’m Making a Promise

It’s been a while since I wrote a blog post, and there are a lot of reasons why.

The main one? I’ve been so insanely busy, and writing kept falling to the bottom of the list. But if I’m being honest, I’ve been kicking myself for letting it slide.

I started this blog as an outlet—a place to share my truths with the community I’ve worked so hard to build. But like many passion-driven things in my life, it slowly got overshadowed by projects that would generate income. And recently, the Universe sat me down and set me straight.

Like many people in our society, I come from a history of tying my worth to output. From a young age, I was taught that success, and ultimately what I produced, was what made me worthy of love and abundance. I’ve known this for years, and I’ve worked hard to unlearn it, but I still find myself falling back into old patterns.

I forget that this path is supposed to be fun and creative, not just productive.

And the truth is, I love what I do. I love running my YouTube channel, showing up on social media, holding coaching sessions, and hosting workshops. But when my focus shifts from bringing something beautiful to the world to producing something for the sake of achievement, I burn out. And that’s exactly where I found myself this summer.

I pour so much intention into my work because I want every piece of content to shift a mindset or maybe even change a life. I’m proud of what I create. But in chasing perfection, I forget that I’m a human being who’s here to experience and create, not a machine that’s here to produce.

I’ve always pressured myself to be the best, and that pressure has led to so much unhappiness. The comparisons never end. There’s always someone with more success, more recognition. And the more I compare, the less I feel like I’m enough, no matter how much I learn, grow, or pour into my work.

And that, right there, is the problem.

One of the core things I teach is that you are worthy exactly as you are. Growth and evolution are lifelong journeys. There will always be another goal, another opportunity to improve, another person to compare yourself to, but that’s not the point of life.

The point is to be where your feet are. To create and share the experience you’re living right now. We’re here to help each other rise, but we can’t do that if our only focus is productivity instead of bringing light, love, and truth into the world.

No one is perfect. Growth is messy. Art is messy. And that mess is what makes it all beautifully human.

So today, I’m making a promise to you: I vow to keep showing up for the things I love, like writing, and to stop trying to make everything so flawless and production-driven that I forget the joy of creating for the sake of creating.

And I hope some of you will make that same promise with me. We can’t be the light for others if we forget to be it for ourselves first.

As always, I’m sending love and healing to each of you.

With love,
Gabrielle N.
