88. Realization While Editing My Book and a Reminder That You are Awesome
Apr 15, 2025
This week’s episode is a little different, I’m taking you behind the scenes of editing my upcoming book, and sharing a realization that hit me hard (in the best way).
I had this moment recently, one of those “wait… maybe I am really good at what I do” moments. And it all started while editing the first draft of my book.
I Was Terrified to Hit Send
Even with years of experience, a Master’s in Business, and endless conversations about human design and strategy under my belt… I felt so unsure submitting the draft. I worried it wasn’t good enough, that it would be ripped apart by the editor. Classic imposter syndrome, right?
But when I got the edits back? It was the complete opposite. The feedback was incredible. The book was described as well-structured, practical, and powerful. And in that moment, I realized: I wrote this from my zone of genius. It flowed out of me with so much clarity and purpose, and I still doubted it.
You Probably Do This Too
And I’ve seen this same pattern over and over. With clients in my Aligned Business Blueprint. With friends. With my podcast manager, who came back from a retreat and finally saw how incredible she really is at what she does (she is, by the way, amazing).
So many of us minimize our brilliance. We downplay our gifts because they come easily to us. But just because something feels natural doesn’t mean it isn’t valuable. Actually, it means it’s your magic.
Let This Be Your Reminder
If no one’s told you lately: you’re doing a great job.
You have skills, insights, and magic that are not obvious to others. And when you finally see yourself clearly, everything changes.
So take a moment. Reflect on all the things you’re amazing at. The compliments people give you. The things you do that light you up. You might be surprised what you uncover.
Listen to this episode if you need a reminder of how powerful you really are.
And if you want help uncovering your zone of genius through your human design, I’d love to support you. Book a 1:1 Human Design for Business Reading with me, I promise it’ll change the way you see yourself.
