How Getting Cracked Wide Open Helps You Find Alignment

This week, something cracked me open.

I was watching someone I really admire, Taki Moore. Not because he’s flashy or perfect, but because you can feel it. He’s in love with what he does.

And not in a performative way.

You can tell he actually loves his work. He loves the people he’s helping. He loves the freedom he’s created for himself. And it’s so obvious, even through a screen.

You ever feel that with someone? Like their energy hits you before their words do? Like they’re low-key your biggest cheerleader, even if you’ve never met?

That energy stopped me in my tracks.

Because I want to be that. Not the performative version, but the real kind. The kind that comes from loving what you do so much it radiates through your fingertips.

And here’s the truth: I already am.
And so are you.

We just don’t always lead from that place.

What We Usually Do

Some days we’re caught up in the metrics.
Some days we’re trying to keep up.
Some days we’re building out of fear instead of alignment.

But when we create from truth, something shifts. The people, the clients, the money, the clarity, it all flows more freely.

The Practice That Keeps Me Aligned

Here’s what I’ve been practicing:

💛 I treat my days as micro-missions. Did I show up with energy I’m proud of? Did I connect? Did I move one thing forward?

🐝 Every six weeks, I zoom out. Not to pile on pressure, but to ask: “Are we still building the thing that feels like freedom?”

This rhythm is what keeps me grounded. It reminds me: I’m not behind. I’m not off track. I’m aligned.

And that’s the part most people miss.

They chase the more, when the truth is in the less but better.

The more aligned.
The more clear.
The more rooted in who you are and what you really want.

What This Means for You

That’s what I help creatives find inside The Hive™.

Not just strategies for pricing, pitching, and packaging your offers, although yes, we cover all of that.

But the rhythm. The clarity. The energy that makes you magnetic without shouting.

So here’s your reminder today:

If you’re longing for that next level…
If you want to lead with the kind of energy that pulls people in before they even know your offer…

You don’t need to wait to become her.

She’s already here.

You just need to let her lead.
