Doing Things Differently Now

There’s something that’s been on my heart, that I haven’t shared just yet.

For years, I have been the poster child for all multi-passionate female entrepreneurs. I waived my flag loudly and proudly, going against the advice of all my mentors.

If you focus in on one thing, you’ll see so much more growth, they said.

Not me, I thought. I could do all the things. I’m different.

In hindsight, I’ve come to realize that there was a strong part of me that wanted to prove them all wrong.

I spent most of last year on a personal mission to do just that — until my world came crashing down and I lost my greater purpose, the baby in my belly. My son, Ben.

I spent the next 6 months doing absolutely nothing. Well, “nothing” my old multitasking self would consider productive.

Although, my inner knowing knew better. I was healing, deeply.

Over the past 4 months, I’ve come to realize that the new me can no longer waive that flag. Sure, I tried at first, but it didn’t take long for me to realize I wholeheartedly didn’t want to do all the things anymore.

I started to wonder, what would it feel like to do just ONE thing?

One thing really well.

I’ve been fiercely working on following this curiosity all Spring.

Doing everything from reading specific books, meeting with different people, even retraining my neural pathways to stop myself mid-multitasking.

Telling myself over and over again when the feeling of “I can do it all pops up” —

STOP LAURYN 🛑 WE’RE DOING THINGS DIFFERENTLY NOW.

I’m on a journey.

It hasn’t been easy.

It’s challenging me greatly.

It’s not overnight.

But it is feeling really good so far, and I look forward to finding out where Ben is leading me.
