When cancer strikes, it strips away everything but the essential question: what truly matters?

My post-Acute-Myeloid-Leukemia-cancer journey became a powerful reclamation—deliberately defining success on my terms...embracing the certainty that my conscious choices create my future right now.

Belief in myself remains both my greatest challenge and my most profound source of strength.

Martha Stewart is the poster child of belief.

In 1967, she shattered barriers, believing she belonged on Wall Street when women weren't allowed in the club. Martha landed a role not as an assistant but as a stockbroker. She believed in her capabilities.

She envisioned and created an entirely new magazine category—a lifestyle category—because she believed it possible.

When her empire nearly collapsed after her conviction, her unshakable belief rebuilt it.

At 83, her belief continues driving her forward—100 books published, magazine covers, and cultural relevance that defies convention. Snoop and so much more.

During my nearly 20 years working for her, Martha showed me what's possible when belief becomes unshakable.

What dream of yours feels impossible only because you haven't yet believed it into existence?

True belief isn't about the things you create, achievement, or accomplishment—belief is about who you're becoming.

Believing in yourself begins with this certainty: you are already enough just they way you are.

🚀 You are enough even when negative thoughts cloud your vision of your capabilities.

🚀 You are enough as a leader on days when patience seems impossible.

🚀 You are enough when life's details slip through the cracks of your busy mind.

🚀 You are enough with every bad habit you're working to improve.

You are fundamentally, completely enough exactly as you are.

Beware of the labels you attach to yourself:

I am a procrastinator.
I am a perfectionist.
I'm a control freak.

Labels are chains—belief is freedom.

I had to build the belief that I could change my career and my identity. Fight against the expectations of others.

That my coaching and my voice would provide genuine value and transformation. That serving others would create ripples of positive change beyond what I could see. That I could sell it and SELL myself--this was the hardest.

What impossible dream is waiting for you to finally believe it's possible?

Jeff Bezos. Oprah. Sara Blakely. Elon Musk ---->

These visionaries believed in seemingly impossible futures. When critics dismissed their dreams as fantasy and impossibility, they made a choice to believe and took relentless, focused action toward their belief. When initial results were slow to materialize, they doubled down on massive action. They refused to abandon their belief—because they understood that belief creates results and a new reality.

They didn't quit on their belief.

They didn't quit on themselves.

Believing in yourself means taking the time to answer the question: Who am I becoming?
