FACING the GHOSTS in your BUSINESS this HALLOWEEN

It's the spookiest time of the year, and sometimes those ghouls don’t just haunt the night—they can show up in your business too! 🕸️ I was recently featured in Architectural Digest with a personal spooky story, and it got me reflecting on the scary moments I’ve faced in life and business. It’s in those unsettling times that I’ve found the greatest opportunities for growth and financial success.

Today, I'm sharing how those old narratives, fears, and ghostly stories can creep in and hold us back from the success we deserve. Let’s shine a light on those shadows together and release what’s keeping you from soaring to greater heights. 🕯️✨

Beware of Old Stories 🦇

If you’re doing all the right things but not seeing results, it might be that old, ghostly narratives are holding you back. These invisible stories can linger in the background, causing you to unconsciously doubt your worth, your value, or your ability to succeed. Maybe you’ve had a past “failure” that’s become your default narrative, making you hesitant to take the next step.

Ask yourself:

• What story am I holding on to that keeps me stuck?

• Which old narratives limit my confidence and make me fearful to move forward?

• What excuses are stopping me from embracing my full potential?

Don't Let the Wrong People Haunt Your Path 🕷️

Surrounding yourself with the wrong influences—whether it’s negative messaging, unsupportive voices, or people who drain your energy—can keep you stuck in the shadows. These forces can make your dreams feel out of reach and hinder your business growth. It’s time to clear out the cobwebs and surround yourself with positive energy that lifts you up!

Ask yourself:

• How can I fill my world with resources that support my vision?

• What "noises" are holding me back, and how can I replace them with sounds that inspire?

• Which individuals drain my energy, and how can I create space for those who uplift me?

Check Your Alignment—It Might Be Time to Shift 🕸️

Our post-pandemic world has changed, and what worked in the past may not work now. If you feel out of alignment, it’s the perfect time of year to take a closer look and make some adjustments. What used to light you up might no longer serve you, and that’s okay! This Halloween season, let’s embrace the shift and welcome new, aligned visions for 2025. 🎃

Ask yourself:

• What part of my business no longer feels right?

• Where do I feel a lack of connection in my work?

• What new vision do I see for myself and my brand as I close out 2024?

Releasing the Fear and Embracing the Magic ✨

All of these spooky feelings can keep us limited, holding back our brilliance and dimming our impact. This week, I encourage you to face those fears, shake off the cobwebs, and step boldly into your greatness. The most powerful transformation happens when we move away from the shadows of self-doubt and into the light of possibility.

You are at your most magical when you step into your full potential. You are truly impactful when you leave fear behind and move forward with faith and trust. Know that you deserve everything you envision for yourself and your business. ✨

Boo, I got you! You’ve got this, and I’m right here cheering you on, celebrating each brave step you take away from the spooky side of business and into grace, gratitude, and love for yourself and your brand. 🖤
