There wasn’t a dramatic sign.
No lightning bolt, no divine announcement, no clear message in the sky.
It came quietly, subtle but unmistakable. It was a moment that arrived without warning, and yet I knew it had been forming for a long time.
I can’t even tell you the exact setting.
Maybe I was folding laundry. Maybe I was sitting at my desk with my hand resting on my chest, just trying to breathe through the noise. But something in me shifted.
There was this quiet, steady voice, deeper than thought and louder than logic, that simply said:
“This is no longer just your idea. This is a calling.”
Up until then, I had been offering what I could. Helping others. Supporting people one conversation at a time. But in that moment, I realized something sacred:
I wasn’t just building Inside The Cart because I wanted to. I was building it because I was meant to.
That realization changed everything.
When the Resistance Softened
Up until that point, I had quietly resisted the idea of building something “official.”
I didn’t want to become a brand, a business, or a strategy machine. The hustle culture, constant output, and the pressure to perform made me feel like a world I didn’t fully belong in.
But the moment I realized this was a calling, something softened.
I stopped asking whether I was “qualified enough” or “ready.” I stopped waiting for everything to make perfect sense. And I started listening more carefully... To the way Spirit nudged me through ordinary moments, to the ideas that kept returning when I thought I was done, to the soft yes rising from my chest, even when fear whispered no.
This work—the work of Inside The Cart—no longer felt like mine to control. It felt like mine to honor.
What I Chose After That (and How I Arranged Myself)
After that shift, I didn’t suddenly become fearless.
I didn’t wake up with a five-year plan or a perfect strategy map. But I did make a quiet vow to Spirit: “If you guide me, I’ll keep going. If you give me the next step, I’ll take it.”
And Spirit responded, not all at once, but in pieces. Through unexpected conversations. Through ideas that kept returning until I finally gave them space. And through clients who arrived at just the right time, and invitations that confirmed I was on the right path.
But let me be clear...
This wasn’t just intuitive guessing in the dark.
Once I said yes, I began to organize my life around that yes.
- I carved out sacred hours each week to write, serve, and prepare.
- I designed offerings that are not just soulful, but clear, deliverable, and rooted in strategy.
- I built a structure I can stand on—simple, yes, but strong enough to grow with me.
- I stopped waiting for everything to be “ready” and instead focused on becoming ready enough to begin. And I did it with the same care I offer my clients—step by step, in alignment with truth.
That’s what Inside The Cart became. Not just a passion project. Not just a business on paper.
This isn’t just a creative space. It’s a sacred container — with real bones and real breath. A place where clarity meets compassion. Where marketing doesn’t feel manipulative. And strategy is designed to serve the soul, not override it.
This is where I show up fully — not to perform, but to be present. Not to be perfect, but to be intentional.
If you’re holding something special too, something you know is real, even if it’s still taking shape, you’re not alone in that. This space was built for people like you. And if you’re ready to take the next step, I’d be honored to walk beside you.
