Permission to Be Exactly Where You Are

Hey Beautiful Mama!

It's Chelsey here! 💖

Tonight, as I was rocking Ollie to sleep, something hit me so hard that I just had to share it with you.

You know those quiet moments when truth just speaks to your heart?

Here it is: You are exactly where you need to be.

I know, I know.

You're probably thinking, "But Chelsey, I should be further along by now.

I should have started sooner.

Everyone else seems to be..."

Let me stop you right there, mama.

Because I've been wrestling with those exact same thoughts lately.

A Personal Confession

Just this week, as I was planning some new content for our community, that sneaky comparison monster crept in.

"Why didn't you start this years ago, Chelsey? You should be so much further along by now!"

Sound familiar?

But here's what I realized during my evening walk with Kaizen (sometimes our biggest revelations come during the simplest moments):

Every step of my journey…

Even the delays, even the "not ready yet" moments…

were preparing me for right now!

The Truth About Your Timeline

You know what's fascinating?

When we look at others' success, we're usually seeing their Chapter 20 while writing our Chapter 1. But here's the thing…

those other chapters?

They were necessary.

They were beautiful.

They were part of the journey.

Your Permission Slip for the Week…

1. Embrace Your Now: 
   
   Instead of thinking "I should have started sooner," try this:
   

   • Look at how far you've come

   • Celebrate the small wins

   • Trust that your timeline is perfect for YOU
     

2. Create Transition Rituals: 
   
   One practice that's helped me immensely is taking 3-5 minutes between work and family time to:
   

   • Write down any lingering tasks

   • Take deep breaths

   • Express gratitude for what I did accomplish
     

3. Practice Tiny Gratitudes: 
   
   Start with the smallest things (I mean tiny!):
   

   • Your favorite pen

   • Warm socks

   • A quiet moment: Watch how this ripples into bigger appreciation
     

4. Document Your Progress: 
   
   Instead of comparing yourself to others:
   

   • Take weekly screenshots of your wins

   • Journal your breakthroughs

   • Celebrate how far you've come from Day 1
     

5. Find Your Inspiration Zone: 
   
   Notice where you get your best downloads:
   

   • During solo walks

   • In the shower

   • While rocking your baby, then intentionally create more of those moments.

Remember This Truth

Every time you catch yourself in the comparison trap, repeat after me:

• "I am exactly where I need to be"

• "My journey is uniquely mine"

• "Today's progress is tomorrow's foundation"

Think of it like this… 

You wouldn't expect a seed to become a flower overnight.

Each stage… the rooting, the sprouting, the growing is essential.

Your business and personal growth are just the same.

You're not behind.

You're not late.

You're right on time for YOUR journey.

With love and gratitude,
Chelsey Diaz
