what’s in a name


hey, cake pop.

if you’ve been here longer than a minute, you already know i’m a wordy birdie 🐦

as in, i’ve got a lot to say. and i love to say it in words wielded like paint + poetry, in equal parts whimsy + intention

and i believe deeply that the words we use + choose to use matter

which isn’t a terribly groundbreaking statement lol

but while we often talk about the power of words to create reality + the importance of doing so with intention, we sometimes miss the way words can hold the code for what we create in ways we didn’t anticipate or plan

in honor of september in the sanctum, i’ll be giving you an inside peek into what actually happens there (and why you might wanna be part of it!)

the UPRISING inner sanctum is my community for passion-powered small + scaling business owners and other innovative leaders committed to claiming joy like it’s their job + growing in ways that feel good

i call it a soft place to land, and that’s what you need when you’re working hard for your big mission while also refusing to bend to cultural norms + the pressure to conform to industry best practices that don’t honor what works best for YOU —

when you’re daring to be so bold as to trust yourself at LEAST as much as everyone else, and to create a life + business that honors the intricate wisdom wrapped up in all that makes you YOU

i launched the UPRISING inner sanctum fairly quietly in january 2024 + have been nurturing it lovingly ever since

most of the members have been there + active since day one, and continue to marvel on each call at how valuable our practices + calls are to them — personally AND professionally

over the course of the month, i’m going to attempt to articulate + demonstrate a little bit of what, specifically, that entails

as much as paradigm-shifting, intuition-honoring magic in motion can be captured in words, anyway

and today i’ll start with the literal words that make up its name (and the new description created from there)

hey, roasted almond. so, i told myself (AND you, AND members of the sanctum, AND folks in my PD groups) that i was going to focus on building awareness around my UPRISING inner sanctum community all month i even gave it a name — september in the sanctum and monday will bring us HALFWAY through the month with exactly ONE other email to you about it, plus this one (which is going to be admittedly pretty short) and i’m over here riding the wild line between: cursing myself out for not doing more...

hey, earl grey. oh that? i’ll do it later… how many times in a day do you find yourself saying something to that effect? putting something you want to do off until you’ve earned it or feel like you can “afford” the time, energy or money it takes or putting something off that you desperately DON’T want to do but have to (or it sure does feel like you do, anyway) and every time you push it til later, whether you realize it or not, you’re reinforcing the idea that you can’t afford to do what you...

hey, farm fresh peach. you ever find yourself thisclose to tears in the middle of aldi’s on a sunny saturday morning? not because aldi’s is a bad place lol (we love aldi’s here) — but maybe it was like this: you’re already physically + emotionally stretched and up against a very important deadline. all of your internal + external resources are maxed. time is super tight + you’ve just got to do this one “quick” thing… so, you’re more vulnerable to new obstacles, less able to immediately pivot...
