I’m in the process of starting a new business, and a dear friend — also a life coach — recently asked me a brilliant question:

“What’s different about this business than the others you’ve started?”

At first, I began answering factually, explaining the differences between the services.

And then it hit me.

The difference between the very first business I created and the ones since is this: back then, I believed in myself without doubt, and without any proof it would work.

And it did.

When we enter new situations or challenges with the knowing that it will work — without yet knowing how — that’s where the magic happens.

With this business, after the initial rush of excitement and clarity, I found myself drifting into my head. Doubt, fear, overwhelm crept in. I was out of my faith and too focused on timelines and mechanics. I started to squeeze the life out of it before it had even begun.

That simple yet powerful question from my friend helped me see where I was gripping too tightly, and reminded me of the truth:

Believe without doubt.
Believe without proof.

This is the power of coaching. This is the power of community.

To sit in a safe space where you are both challenged and supported… to answer the deeper questions that both liberate you and show you the way forward.

✨ Your LMNTL Invitation this week ✨

• Where in your life right now could you release the grip and trust more deeply?

• What’s one area where you could experiment with belief — before you have proof?

Until next week,

Leslie

PS - this week we take off on our annual trek via bicycle from Southern Indiana to Chicago, Illinois. Our initial "YES" to this adventure came completely by default - without having a bike nor having a clue what the training would entail, we said yes and allowed the journey to unfold. What's something you've said YES to by default??
