The Climb: How I Turned Every No Into My Next Level

(Journal Entry — October 10, 2025)

Sometimes I have to stop and remind myself how far I’ve climbed.

There were days I couldn’t even picture this version of me — the woman who owns a publishing company, who’s building programs for the next generation, who’s finally walking in her purpose without apology.

It’s wild to think how long I was overlooked, underestimated, or spoken about instead of spoken to. For a long time, the only person reminding me that I was doing something special… was me.

And then one day, I realized I didn’t need to prove it anymore. My work, my consistency, my peace — they started speaking louder than I ever could.

That was the shift.

This climb hasn’t been easy. It’s been messy, humbling, expensive, emotional, and sacred all at once. I’ve cried through strategy meetings, prayed over invoices, doubted myself mid-sentence, and still managed to hit “send” anyway.

But every “no” I’ve ever received turned out to be redirection. Every detour, divine. Every delay, protection.

When I finally became a CEO — not just in title, but in mindset — I realized something: It’s not about chasing approval. It’s about embodying the energy of a woman who no longer needs permission.

So yes, I still take moments to pause, breathe, and let the encouragement land when it comes — not as validation, but as confirmation.

Because I know who I am now. I’m the woman who kept climbing when the air got thin.

And baby, the view from up here? It’s just the beginning. 🌄✨

If you’re in your own climb right now, don’t rush the view. Every step is sacred. Keep going — your mountain knows your name.
