Well it’s 4:20 again so you know what that means…
Just finished breast feeding, and I can’t sleep.
Being on my phone doesn’t help,
But these are also the only times I have completely to myself and have time to write.
So here’s another 4:20 thought…
I’ve been saying it’s time for over 5 years now.
If you have been following my journey on insta, you know.
Tbh, it has probably been a bit annoying to hear.
Like alright, we get it…
It’s time, but time for what?
And also tbh, I don’t completely know.
I do know I’ve been planting a seed and watering it everyday for over 5 years.
From building DropUp to what it is today,
To building FUQUETTE into what it is today.
It might not look like a lot yet,
But the story has been building and the foundation has been laid.
The value is there.
Everything is in place.
And even though I have no idea wtf I’m doing…
I know exactly what I’m doing.
I’m not playing small.
As it’s said, fortune favors the fearless.
And while I can’t say I’ve been absolutely fearless,
When fear creeps in,
You better believe the only thing to do is push past it.
Sometimes through quivering faith.
But apparently all you need is faith the size of a mustard seed.
Through it all, I can say faith is why I’m here, doing what I’m doing.
“But what are you doing?”
Great question.
A vision.
A mission.
The reason why I do what I do is because I’ve always had faith that whatever it is, it’s going to work.
Through faith + creativity + relentless determination.
It’s going to work.
In fact, I recently did an exercise to solidify my “why,”
Here are the results:
Professionally speaking,
My Deeper Mission:
• For Founders: I inspire them to stop playing it safe, to take the leap, to bet on themselves and their vision. i show them that “Fortune favors the fearless” isn’t just a motto - it’s a business strategy.
• For Businesses: I help them remember their original fire - why they started, what they truly believe, and how to show up authentically in a world that rewards conformity. i remind them that their purpose is their competitive advantage.
As a summary, I help founders and businesses remember that the unknown isn’t something to fear - it’s where all the magic happens.
Because if you know me,
You know if there’s a sign that says conventional path,
You better believe we’re sprinting in the opposite direction.
And on a deeper, more human-to-human level…
The purpose of everything I do:
To build a movement of fearless humans who understand that their authenticity is their superpower, and that the world desperately needs what only they can bring.
Every time someone gets brave enough to have that difficult conversation, pursue that creative project, set that boundary, or simply show up as their authentic self - that’s my “why” in action.
So now as you start to hear from me more,
You’ll know where my heart is and what my purpose on planet earth is.
In a world filled with artificial authenticity,
In a world filled with pain, heartbreak, chaos, and fear…
Your true superpower is you.
Your thoughts.
Your ideas.
The beauty that only you bring to this world.
As I’ve had on my Insta and Facebook bios for probably a decade now:
“Today you are you, that is truer than true.
There is no one alive who is youer than you.” 🧡💙
It’s time to step into that beauty.
It’s time to #dropup.
