hey, spicy chicken egg fried rice.

check any of the beaming pics from her olympic performances + it’s clear that alysa liu is the embodiment of claiming joy like it’s your job (bc it is 🔆)

plus, her commitment to self-care, honoring the deep wisdom within, and celebrating the stuffing out of her sisters in athletic performance art…

and her bold refusal to play by rules that don’t suit her…

this is BIG thriveandbloom energy, and i cannot get enough!

when i talk about bringing intuition-driven decisionmaking to your business, i say that you can employ any one of the best “proven” strategies around that’s brought a bajillion other people big results —

but if it doesn’t honor YOUR interests, strengths or bandwidth, it’s not going to work for YOU

and even IF strategy X does bring you success…

that doesn’t mean ANOTHER, more personalized strategy that you’re actually EXCITED to use, won’t bring you EVEN BIGGER OR BETTER success

just like traditional ways of training for competitive, olympic-level figure skating may yield great results for many —

and they DID bring liu INCREDIBLE success in 2022 at the olympics + world championship, placing 6th + 3rd, respectively

seems like a hearty endorsement for traditional training practices, right?

BUT JUST BECAUSE IT WORKS GREAT DOESN’T MEAN SOMETHING ELSE WON’T WORK BETTER

when she returned to the sport, she decided that she was DONE outsourcing her power to others —

even the expert trainers + competition coaches

this time SHE would choose her meals, outfits, practice schedule, performance music

and if she wasn’t ENJOYING it, she vowed to stop

you’ve seen what happened next

the way alysa liu has taught the nation how to BE delight + have your own back is no doubt going to change the narrative around what it means to be successful, especially as a woman

so the next time you find yourself sticking with expert guidance that doesn’t honor the richness of YOU —

i dare you to think of alysa liu + imagine how much BETTER it could get

wanna give it a whirl, together?

BEHIND THE ENDEARMENT:

during a recent session, the card we pulled had a bunch of goldfish on it, and they were dressed up in fake shark fins + silly hats. at one point one of us referred to them as "whimsical goldfish"

the client whose card it was said they thought "whimsical goldfish" sounded like one of my pet name greetings i bestow upon you at the top of these letters
