One more day of the Solo Pro Summit to come.

This weekend, I was supporting my husband in his first half marathon 🙌
In a crowd of 5,000, I spotted someone I thought was Seamus Marten (co-host of the Between two Beers podcast) I’d just posted about last week).

And then I hesitated.
“What if it’s not him?”
“What if he doesn’t know me?”
“Don’t be weird.”

I almost left it.
But then I remembered how many times I’ve done that and regretted it.
So after 10 mins of internal debate (and photo comparison 😅), I walked over.

“Seamus?”
A flicker of surprise, but then, warmth.
I told him I knew Di Foster, loved the podcast, and just wanted to say hi.

We chatted (ok, I did most of the chatting 😅), and he was… exactly as you hope someone will be.

Still. Present. Open.
His energy puts you at ease — like you’ve known him for years.

Of course I asked for a selfie 📸
And then he asked me to send it to him so he could share it with Dr Jo (cue me trying to act casual while my hands shook slightly typing the info in).

Honestly?
Highlight of my weekend.

But more than that — I’m proud of myself.
For pushing past the nerves.
For saying hi.
For showing up.

✨ The universe has a funny way of putting exactly the right person in front of you — not to test your confidence, but to help you grow it. ✨

Change doesn’t always feel like a holiday… but it can still be the reset you didn’t know you needed.

This move into my new office stirred more than just my furniture, it stirred reflection, growth, and the quiet kind of courage that comes with transition.

Midlife isn’t about starting over.
It’s about moving forward, with clarity, experience, and confidence that’s been earned.

You don’t have to wait for the perfect moment.
You are the moment.

Doubt?

I feel it most in my chest.

Heavy. Tight. Like a vice squeezing the air from me.

And yes — even though I coach mindset and confidence — that doesn’t mean I don't battle it too.
Some weeks, multiple times.

I used to think doubt was a problem.
Now I see it for what it really is: a signal.

A signal to pause.
To get curious.
To strengthen my inner voice — the one that speaks with kindness and clarity, not chaos.

Growth requires doubt.

Without it, I stagnate.

I'm not here because I've mastered doubt.
I'm here because I know how to walk through it — choosing courage, even when it's uncomfortable.

And so can you. 🤍
