Five Soulful Steps I Come Back to Whenever I’m Building Anything New
Hi Beautiful Friend,
If you’ve been carrying a little spark, an idea, a whisper, a what if, consider this your invitation to breathe life into it.
Starting (or restarting) doesn’t have to be loud. It can be a soft yes to what you love, and a promise to move one true step at a time.
Here are five soulful steps I come back to whenever I’m building anything new:
1) Connect with what fills your cup.
What do you love to do? What feels purposeful, like time disappears and your heart says yes? Write a few lines. Name the feeling it gives you (peace, joy, clarity). That feeling is your compass
Tiny step: Put your hand on your heart and finish this sentence: “I feel most alive when I’m ______.”
2) Turn your love outward.
How does this gift help others? Could it ease someone’s day, grow their business, or solve a small-but-real problem? Picture a real person and the relief they’d feel.
Tiny step: Write one sentence that begins, “This helps because…”
3) Monetize with kindness.
Start simple. What’s a small, helpful result you can deliver in a clear container (a 60-minute session, a 2-week sprint, a tiny workshop)? Choose a price that respects your time and energy.
Tiny step: Name one offer and a price that feels honest in your body.
4) Say it clearly.
Clarity is magnetic. Try this line and let it breathe:
“I help [WHO] get [RESULT] through [METHOD].”
Post it somewhere visible—website, bio, or your FemCity Directory.
Tiny step: Speak it out loud. Notice how it lands. Adjust one word until it feels true and authentic.
5) Begin to network, gently.
Think connection over collection. Start with warm check-ins, gratitude, and genuine introductions. One conversation can open a season.
Tiny step: Reach out to two people today—one thank-you, one “thinking of you.” No pitch. No sales. Just presence.
If you only do one thing today, do Step #1. Reconnect with what you love—and trust that love to lead your next step.
With all my heart,
