Leah Remillet We don’t say this enough. Growth will always make you outgrow the place you were standing. Every time it’s the kid trying on last year’s jeans and suddenly they’re four inches too short. You know, you look over at one of your kids and you’re like, whoa, high waters. But here’s the thing. High waters equals progress. Being uncomfortable equals proof that you grew. that’s real for all of us. And it’s wild that nobody talks about this part.
I personally know and have coached the women I’m talking about who have absolutely dominated one space. I am saying dominated the best of the best of the best, the top one percent of the photography of the direct sales as the party planner. And then they felt the shift and they made a massive transition. And they will dominate in their next space too. Why? Because they have the experience to do it. Because they have the knowledge. The ability. It’s all in them, and they’re brave enough to try. And guess what? None of them were failing. They were evolving.
The caterpillar is not embarrassed to go into the cocoon. It’s literally the design. At some point, it’s time to get wings. So what I want you to understand is that misalignment is not assigned to quit. We go there though, right? When women feel misaligned, we do tend to panic. We think everyone else is so clear and I’m not. And I want to shift that and say, no, you’re just wobbling. And the wobble matters because your life isn’t falling apart. Your life is making room for a bigger version of you.
But here’s where we get into some serious trouble. We want to fix discomfort with drastic decisions. Burn the offer. Burn the brand. Burn the business. Burn the schedule. Burn the marriage. Burn the whole identity. Burn it all down to the ground. But misalignment is not a bonfire moment, my sweet sister. It is a curiosity moment.
So I want to take this and I want to give you an alignment reset. Here is the exact process to get clarity without burning down your life, So let’s do this in a way that feels a lot better and can get you amazing results. Here’s what you’re going to do.
Number one, identify the one thing that feels off. Not your whole life. Sister, I promise it is not your whole life. Your whole life is not off. Ask is it my schedule? my goals, my habits, my messaging, my environment, my energy and get into each of those deeper. When I say your environment, is it the space where you’re at or is it the body that you’re in? When I say your messaging, is that your entire messaging or one part of your messaging when I say your energy, is that because you’re not excited to do the work? Or is it because you’re not doing the things for your body to allow it to be energized?
Laser in. Most people tend to overhaul everything when only one or two things actually need adjusting.
Number two, we are going to identify what is aligned. This step is going to be what stabilizes your brain so you don’t make emotional decisions. Okay, we are looking to try to find alignment. Alignment is where everything is working together smoothly. That means that while yes, part of this process is definitely looking for what is off, we also need to be super clear on what is on.
So what does feel good right now? What feels strong? What is still energizing you? What still feels like you? Write that out. Get that down so that you can see both sides of this coin. And you’re going to hold on to the things that do feel aligned, because those are your anchors. They ground you so that you don’t start spiraling into this huge mess of grab a torch, burn it all down.
Number three, after you have done the work of both, seeing what feels off, getting very curious. Really getting deeper, getting specific, and what feels on. Celebrating those things. Getting excited about where you are. Winning. Okay, once you’ve done both those things, I hope you’ve done both those things. Don’t do this last step without doing those. Okay.
Number three is make micro shifts, not massive overhauls. This is the key. It has taken me so much work to learn this because my natural tendency is overall, But I am telling you that when we do it that way, it rarely sticks. You know, you’ve tried to go way too big all at once, and it’s so overwhelming that you revert back to what’s comfortable, even though what’s comfortable isn’t serving you.
But micro shifts, when we stack those, you know what’s so incredible about micro shifts? What I love about them so much is that you start with one, and then you stack another on top of it and another on top of it. And without even realizing that overhaul that you had dreamed of Becomes your new reality. And because you did it in a way that is sustainable, it sticks. It’s amazing.
So examples of this would be adjusting your offer. Instead of starting everything from scratch, what if it was just that your call to action button wasn’t working? Or what if it was that the email messaging was just a little bit off? And with a few tweaks, that offer started selling the way you dreamed of.
But when we get too into the emotions and we don’t take that time to do these three steps, sometimes we end up saying, it’s got to be the whole program, the whole offer. I’m getting rid of everything. I’m rebuilding it all, when really there was just one micro shift that was needed.
Another example changing one part of your routine. You don’t need to redesign your entire calendar or your entire day Maybe just change one part of your routine. See how it feels and then add another. Updating messaging doesn’t mean that we redo the whole brand, although sometimes that is what you’re going to realize you want to do. But we’re doing it from a place of clarity, not from a place of confusion.
So I want you to ask yourself, what is the smallest adjustment that would make this feel like me again? And you might come up with several. If you’re like me, I’m going to say what is the smallest adjustment? And my brain is going to be like one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Maybe I continue on. That’s fine. There’s nothing wrong with that. Celebrate it. You’ve got an action plan, but you’re only going to start with number one.
That first small adjustment. And then you’re going to add number two. Once you feel ready and then you’re going to add number three. Do you see we’re stacking these micro shifts. And that’s it. That’s your next step.
You are not broken but you may have outgrown your container. That’s the part that nobody teaches. When you grow your identity, habits, systems and routines don’t automatically grow with you. You’re not doing anything wrong. You’re literally evolving. We need to normalize this.
Because the truth is, every entrepreneur that I admire, every single one, has had a moment where they realized I don’t fit here anymore. And if you have done this long enough, I promise you, you are going to get to that place. And that place is going to look different for all of us. But you will get there. And that’s when you have a choice. You either shrink back into the old space or expand into the new one.
That’s the season that I am in right now, and I’m admitting that very vulnerably, and I’m telling you that I am doing this work right along with you. That’s what happens when you have been in business for seventeen years. I have had these moments where I realize I don’t fit here anymore. What am I going to do about it? And you know what? This is when we find our wings, it’s a good thing.
So I want you to notice the places where you’re forcing something that doesn’t need to be forced, and then ask, what is the smallest shift that I could make to feel like me again? Not perfect, not polished, Not finished. Just you again.
This is the work that I’m doing right now, and I’d love to walk you through it in deeper ways. If you want tools, templates, clarity behind the scenes of this evolution for me, make sure that you’re on my email list. I’ll have the link in the show notes. If you’re not already there, join me and be an LR insider.
You’re evolving, you’re expanding, you’re stepping into the next version of you, and you deserve to feel proud of it. That’s what I want you to hear today. Let’s go get those wings.
