Something happened to me when I started an online business.
I don’t know if it was the long hours staring at the screen, or the excitement of learning how to create courses, but it did something to my brain. I couldn’t tear myself away.
I became addicted to working.
I scheduled time blocks on my calendar and used every productivity hack I could find to do more. Better.
When it still wasn’t enough, I took heavy doses of raw cacao. The superfood was supposed to bring me energy, and it did, but I was using like adderol to work until late at night.
I thought I had to work hard to prove my worth, and I was damn good at it.
Sometimes I even created more work and made things more complicated for myself, just so I could prove it.
But at some point, I just couldn’t push through anymore.
Even the passion for what I was doing wasn’t enough. My body and brain went on strike.
I called it weakness. Laziness. Or maybe I was sick.
But eventually I came to see what it really was:
Wisdom.
The reason you just can’t push through anymore is because something inside you is done with the old way. The hustle and grind. The striving. Driving until you collapse in exhaustion or (worse yet) burnout.
The voice inside that knows you best also knows the truth: there is an easier way.
A return to your natural creativity. Where action becomes fun and easy again.
Sure, you’re capable. You’ve always been capable.
But now, you suspect – maybe you even know – that you can get shit done and enjoy the journey, too.
If you’re feeling the nudge to realign your life and business so that it serves you, instead of the other way around, I’d love to invite you to a DragonHeart Portal conversation.
You’ll have a chance to slow down and explore what you really want. Listen to yourself. And reawaken your creative spirit into the joyful path of creation that’s been waiting.
It’s my favorite conversation and it’s just $25.

Yours in love and play,
Steph 🐲❤️🔥
