The people with the most depth to offer are often the ones who take the longest to put it out into the world.

After all, you've watched other people build businesses online, and it’s not lost on you that (even if you're too modest to admit it) you are, in many ways, more equipped than they are. You may have more experience, more discernment, more training, or a deeper understanding of the actual work.

Maybe you’ve even mapped out a few ideas about different ways it could take shape, and how, ideally, it could fit alongside the rest of your life.

But the moment you try to make it concrete, the questions start to pile up, and so does the self-doubt.

I know how easy it is to stay in the stage of desire, but without a concrete plan, because I've spent time there myself.

In fall of 2019, I was teaching at a small Montessori-based school. In the evenings, I was commuting into New York City to finish my Master’s degree at Columbia University’s Department of Counseling and Clinical Psychology. On weekends, I was completing a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training, and once certified, teaching yoga classes for adults, families, and children.

From the outside, I was doing a lot.

But underneath all of it, I felt this tension. While I loved the different things I was doing, I couldn’t shake the sense that the parts of my work that felt most meaningful were still scattered across different roles and settings.

I had a dream of building something that wove together the threads of the things I loved most—teaching, guiding, creating, helping people grow—into work that felt more cohesive, more values-aligned, and more able to exist alongside the rest of my life.

But at that point, it was still just that: a dream.

I had no idea how to shape those threads into a sustainable online business. I didn’t yet know how to package it, talk about it, or grow it. 

(Maybe you can relate to this too?)

Then I made a bold decision. Two, actually.

First, I decided to leave my teaching position and step into a period of intentionally figuring it all out.

And second, I chose the ‘entrepreneurship’ track within my Master’s program (rather than the safer ‘education’ track), despite having no clear plan for what I was building yet.

What followed was a long stretch of figuring things out as I went.

I started experimenting: sharing ideas, creating content, offering small ways to work with me, and learning, in real time, how to translate what I knew how to do into something people could actually understand, engage with, and say yes to.

There was a lot of trial and error, especially in learning how to communicate nuanced ideas in a space that often rewards speed, simplicity, and attention-grabbing “hot takes.”

At the same time, I was learning how to take something I was good at, strengths that felt intuitive and natural to me, and turn them into something that could exist as a real offer that’s structured, clear, and understandable to someone on the internet encountering it for the first time.

Over time, that work compounded.

I built a newsletter with over 10K+ readers, an Instagram audience of 118K+ followers, and have had the opportunity to teach, speak, and partake in panels onstage for hundreds of people, appear on news segments and podcasts with hundreds of thousands of viewers, while supporting over 3,000 students across my online programs and offerings over the past 4 years.

But more than any metric, what matters most is:

I've been able to continue bringing together the different elements of what genuinely feel like MY purpose, and to build a way of working that allows me to direct what I do based on my interests and the season of life I'm in.

That has meant getting to wake up and pour my energy into work that feels aligned with both my strengths and my values, while also having the flexibility to organize my work around other things that matter to me—from volunteering at a farm animal sanctuary, to community involvement (book club, D&D, spiritual discussion groups), to travel and hiking, to language learning, to creative projects & crafting, to climate advocacy, to (realistically) caring for our five extremely needy cats and new home!

It has also meant being able to move through full, demanding seasons of life (like buying a house, moving, renovating, and planning a wedding all in the span of 4 months last year) without my business falling apart.

The process hasn't been neat or linear.

But it has shown me that the gap between doing meaningful work and building something of your own around it can actually be bridged.

And you don't need to become a different person to do it. You don't need to flatten your work, perform online in a way that feels disingenuous, or force yourself into someone else's model of success.

I didn't figure this out because I had some special advantage. I figured it out because I kept going, got the right support, and was willing to do the work of translating what I knew and cared about most into something that could actually reach the people it was meant for.
