We’re baaaack with another Real-Time Reflections episode 🔥 And whew... there is a LOT to reflect on this month. These solo episodes are where I pull back the curtain on what’s actually happening in my life and business - the celebrations, identity shifts, mindset shit, lessons, experiments, and evolutions happening in real time. And this month? We’re talking about what happens when you realize you’re not trying to become the next version of yourself anymore. You ARE her. I’m officially on the other side of leading my first Embodied Expansion Retreat, and this experience gave me such a tangible moment of recognizing just how much I’ve changed over the last two years. The leadership, self-trust, and power I’ve been working to embody didn’t feel like something I had to reach for anymore. It felt natural. It felt like ME. So we're getting into allllll of that - plus what’s coming next, owning your expertise without downplaying the f**k out of it, and why I need every woman listening to practice saying, “I’m really f*****g good at what I do.” In this episode, I chat about: The full recap of my first Embodied Expansion Retreat and some of my favorite moments from the experience Witnessing the incredible women in the room show up for themselves AND each other How surprisingly natural and easy it felt for me to lead the retreat - and the deep knowing I had beforehand that it would The two-year journey that brought me into this level of embodiment, leadership, and self-trust Why the retreat inspired me to add a THIRD retreat for next year 👀 How special it was having my mom there as my helper and getting to share the experience with her The magic of getting out of your normal routine, having FUN, reconnecting with yourself, and being surrounded by other women Our trip to the North Carolina beach immediately afterward and giving myself space to rest, process, integrate, and embody everything that happened This month’s mindset shift: What if you’re not trying to become her anymore... what if you ARE her? Why we need to stop downplaying the identity shifts we’ve worked really f*****g hard to create Letting yourself sit in discomfort instead of immediately trying to fix, change, or take action on it Trusting that uncomfortable seasons are still taking you somewhere - even when you can’t see exactly where yet How to connect with your higher self when you’re NOT feeling high-vibe, powerful, or expansive A realistic AF approach to accessing that version of yourself without forcing yourself into a feeling that isn’t there The free four-week mastermind I’m leading in September, why I created it, and what I’m most excited about Why I chose to make people apply for a FREE offer How to position free and low-ticket offers so they attract the people you actually want to work with - and lead naturally into your paid offers A differentiator in my own business that I realized I haven’t been talking about nearly enough: 15 years of design and marketing experience + actually building a six-figure DFY business myself Why women especially need to get more comfortable saying, “I’m really f*****g good at what I do.” The difference between confidence and arrogance - and why owning your brilliance doesn’t diminish anyone else’s Your embodiment assignment for the week: actually CLAIM what you’re f*****g good at Why another woman being incredible at what she does doesn’t threaten your own brilliance - even if she works in the exact same industry Collaboration over competition, always 🤍 2027 RETREATS Aligned Momentum Winter Retreat — January 2027 | Estes Park, CO: For the woman who wants to start the year aligned instead of forcing herself into New Year hustle mode, this intimate 4-day retreat blends identity + vision work, business strategy, masterminding, coaching, embodiment, content creation, connection, and winter FUN so you can get clear on what you actually want and create momentum that feels natural ❄️ Final dates + details coming soon - DM me on Instagram if you want first dibs! re: treat with Abby x Nina — May 19–23, 2027 | Wilmington, NC: A five-day beach house experience for women who know life isn't something to arrive at - it's something to LIVE.
