What's More Valuable Than You? Investing in Your Breakthrough
Have you ever felt like you're on the verge of something big, but everything seems to be falling apart? I've been there more times than I can count. Last year was my season of learning and healing—overcoming heartbreak, growing my team, and welcoming hundreds of women to my Pull Up Revolution program. But before each breakthrough came what felt like a breakdown.
The truth? Those moments when everything feels like it's crumbling are often the exact moments right before your breakthrough appears.
Sign #1: You're experiencing unexpected resistance
When I tore my ACL years ago, I thought my fitness journey was over. What I didn't realize was that this breakdown would lead me to discover new strengths and eventually become a six-time American Ninja Warrior.
Resistance isn't always a sign to stop—sometimes it's the universe's way of redirecting you to where you're meant to go. If you're suddenly facing obstacles in areas that used to flow easily, pay attention. Your breakthrough might be asking you to pivot rather than push through.
Sign #2: You're questioning everything you thought you knew
My friend Jeff shared something powerful with me recently. He'd been a runner his whole life, but when his body started breaking down, he questioned this identity. What he discovered was that stepping away from running and into what truly aligned with him led to more money, better health, and opportunities flowing his way.
When you start questioning your "shoulds" and long-held beliefs, it's not a sign of weakness—it's your inner wisdom calling you toward alignment. This questioning phase is uncomfortable but necessary for breakthrough.
Sign #3: You're feeling the pressure more than ever
As one of my clients wisely said, "Pressure is the biggest energy stealer. The moment you switch to playfulness and curiosity, things start to happen."
When the pressure feels overwhelming, it's often because you're right on the edge of your breakthrough. The key is to recognize this pressure not as a reason to push harder, but as a sign to shift your approach. Release the grip. Get playful. Trust the process.
The Breakthrough Mindset Shift
The most powerful thing I've learned about breakthroughs is that they don't happen by accident. They happen when we:
- Act as our highest version of ourselves TODAY—not waiting until we "arrive"
- Take care of our health, space, and mindset (this is non-negotiable!)
- Invest in ourselves because, as my client Patricia said, "What's more valuable than me?"
Are you experiencing any of these signs right now? Remember that breakthrough isn't just about the destination—it's about who you become in the process.
Your breakthrough is coming. Sometimes the breakdown is just making space for something better to emerge.
