Hey Sizz… I’m checking in on you


Hey Sizz,

I’m checking in on you.

I don’t know if this applies to you — but I know it applies to a lot of women I talk to.

You have ideas. You have experience.
You know you’re capable.

But when it comes to actually putting yourself out there — your brand, your business ideas, your message — things still feel scattered.

And for some of you, it’s not even about knowing where to start. It’s deeper than that.

It’s not motivation, it’s not even about talent.

What’s really underneath it for a lot of women is fear.

Fear of failing. Fear of being judged.Fear of wasting money.

Fear of betting on yourself and it not working.

Somewhere along the way, many of us learned how to take care of everyone else — but not how to back ourselves.

We learned how to be responsible, but not visible.

How to be helpful, but not bold.
How to overthink instead of execute.

So we think about it.
We tweak it.
We sit on it.
We wait for the “right time” or more clarity.

And time keeps moving.

Here’s the part I want you to sit with,

If you feel stuck, you have a responsibility to investigate it and not just accept it.

Not beat yourself up.
Not avoid it.

But to get honest and ask,
What’s really holding me back?

Because clarity doesn’t come from pretending. It comes from you getting incredibly honesty with yourself

And when an idea keeps coming back to you, that’s just not by happenstance.

This week, I’m going to talk more about what it actually looks like to move from ideas to structure, from overthinking to execution, and from hiding to using your voice with intention.

For now, just sit with this question:

What are you delaying that deserves your honesty?

This space is for women who aren’t scared to show up, be seen, and take up space. You're not here to fit in. You’re here to be undeniable.

Let’s make you visible like that.

Hey Sizz, In my 40s, something shifted for me. I started redefining my life and taking ownership of my happiness; especially the way I love, prioritize, and honor myself. What I didn’t realize at the time was how much of my joy had been shaped by other people’s expectations… expectations I hadn’t even noticed I’d agreed to. Valentine’s Day used to be one of those moments. A day with rules.A day that quietly graded your life, your relationship status, your romance, your worth.A day that told...

Hey Sizz, Before the year turns, I want to be very clear. My word for 2026 is EXECUTE. Not in a corporate way. Not in a grind-yourself-into-the-ground way. But in a decisive, aligned, no-more-negotiating way. This isn’t a year for circling the mountain. It’s not a year for overthinking, polishing, or waiting for permission. There are ideas and projects I started working on back in 2022—things I put on the back burner because I wasn’t sure if the timing was right, if I was ready, or if I heard...

Merry Christmas, Sizz 🤍 I don’t want this note to be about a holiday. I want it to be about intentional presence. About slowing down enough to notice the people you’re sitting next to. About making memories instead of rushing through the day. About choosing connection—wherever and however that looks for you. Because what I know for sure is this: time isn’t refundable. I also know that for some people, this space can feel incredibly complicated—especially when relationships are strained and...
