Here's why we don't 'connect' to winners... 💰

Hey ,

Wow, I had so many replies about the 2023 recap email I sent out, thank you 😆 I am so glad it landed for so many of you. 

Over the 6 years of running my business (especially the 18 months I had the wobbles/didn’t work for some time) I’ve realised this key theme:

Folks in my world find it far more inspiring and feel far more connected to stories of pain, hardship, rags to riches, loss, redemption, overcoming, falling apart, getting back on the wagon and opening in the face of spaghetti being all over the damn wall. 

Folks in my world don’t feel inspired or connected when wins and financial milestones are parroted around if they aren’t backed up with context of what it really takes, often being hardship, fear, bravery, broke-ness and scattered confusion. 

Same. Me too. 

I love a story where someone went into the cave they feared to enter, couldn’t find the torch, couldn’t find the treasure, flailed around in the dark, broken and ALONE and along the way, someone lent them a match, someone put their headlights on leading them to a small beam of light which reminded them to keep going, that it’s not all hopeless. 

As soon as we surrender, as soon as we realise we don’t really control this game of life we can let go, let be and that’s how the light gets in. That’s how we can embrace our messy nature and accept the messiness and imperfection of others, too. Hence my business name: Messy Action. 

Before the surrender, before the allowing, before the acceptance the darkness and fear is often known as resistance, judgement, self comparison and avoidance. 

Welcome to 2024 my love. 

1. How can you lean into surrender? 

2. How can you lean into the season of life you’re presented with right now?

You are nature, it would be foolish to think you operate differently to summer, winter, autumn and spring. 

3. Where are you pushing? 

4. Where are you saying yes out of obligation? 

5. What feels most inviting to you right now? 

Use these prompts and write in your journal. Listen.

Trust the messages. 

Sometimes it’s the courage to do less. 

Sometimes it’s the courage to step into the unknown and receive more joy, money and love and support. 

Only you know and meditation, journaling and getting outside device free help you to hear, tune in and get the downloads your soul is sending. 

In 2022 the daily message was ‘do nothing’ and I would throw my metaphorical hands in the air saying ‘fuck you, I need to get back to the motivated, will do what it takes Brooke’ and the universe had other plans. Thank God she did, even though at the time I felt like I was pushing shit uphill 🤪💩

Remember, everyone around you has a story, a struggle, a shame blanket they have wrapped around themselves too many times. The beauty of coaching people regularly is being reminded of how everyone is suffering, clambering, loving and longing for simplicity - it allows for acceptance and letting go - it inspires more messy action.
