I really appreciate the simplicity and clarity with which you share here. Also, VERY inspired after hearing your Expanded podcast story about crushing your debt and overhauling your life to create space for everything you're creating now. Thank you for sharing so openly and I'm excited to keep following along on your journey!

really liked this. I am currently working on wrapping a project that isn't aligned so I can energetically make space for something bigger and better!

I love all of your content!! This post hit home in a big way. I have been holding on to a lot of resentment for a few people who undervalued me and made me feel small. It’s energy I need to release for sure. This was the reminder I needed to work on releasing that. Thank you!

I feel THIS. I had the same resentment. But good to remember only you can make yourself feel small. I used to blame that on other people, but then realized they weren’t even seeing me as small - just I was :) take your power back! Xx

Sit with the feelings :) bring them to mind, feel them and forgive.

Hey Grace! I’m curious if you can share how you made the switch from being a graphic designer to a strategist and leading with that in your services. I want to make that switch myself from social media manager to marketing strategist.

If you’re self employed just change your title on LinkedIn, write new service descriptions and pitch yourself as that!

Yes yes yes! Yes to letting go of resentment. And YES to not structuring your entire business model around favours, trades and the unpaid emotional labour of being nice at all times. Thank you for writing this!! Saving the list of questions for future ref.
