Stand taller today. (It will actually change how you feel about yourself) Say hello to a stranger. Shed old patterns that do not serve your life or anyone else’s. Hydrate, put your phone on do not disturb and put it out of sight, and take an actual lunch break. Speak to yourself like you’d talk to a friend. Set aside your worries about the past and fears about the future and focus on the blessing in front of you, this moment. I’m so happy it’s Monday. I used to get pretty anxious about them. Not because I didn’t love my job, because drawing logos and designing websites is something I really cannot imagine not doing. I felt anxious every Monday because I was struggling to believe I was worthy of love, smart enough, or capable enough, and this spilled over into my work. I was in a toxic relationship. First and foremost with myself. I’ve changed a lot this year, and I’m so hopeful to keep growing. There is so, so much freedom out there, waiting for you. Waiting for you to do your best work, waiting for you to try new things, waiting for you to risk failing, waiting for you to love more honestly and deeply. Waiting for you to SHOW UP & RISK BEING SEEN. Our journeys may look different on the outside, but I think on the inside, this is what we are all wanting: to be more of ourselves, and for that to be ok. 💛
I have the best people in my life. I know holidays can be tough. I’m hoping you’re feeling so, so loved. You are so worthy, you matter. Life is waiting for you to come out of your fears, pain, and insecurity and BE YOUR BEAUTIFUL SELF. I’m grateful for three days of sweet memories with precious people in my new home this week. Pasta making with two wise friends who have lived through great loss. A cocktail party with girlfriends who are incredible humans. And, a Christmas light show and PJ party with a friend (and her boys) who has helped me walk some of the darkest (and brightest) days this year. To have the laughter of these friends fill my echoey apartment this week is a gift I never would have imagined receiving last Christmas. It’s wholly different than what I would have dreamed up. Here’s to accepting not the life we thought we’d have, or the life someone else is living, but the one precious life we hold in our hands ♥️ It is a gift.
So happy to be home. Except 4/5 of plants pictured here are dead now. And, I’m driving to Wisconsin tomorrow. 🥴 Do you have a long road trip in front of you for Thanksgiving or are you staying put?
Back in the USA! Ready to step into facing more fears and pushing myself in my business. I just spent a good chunk of the flight on some of the most productive ideation I’ve had in years. Now comes the hard part: action, risk, believing I’m worthy enough to try. I want to promise myself (and you) I’ll risk embarrassing myself or doing things not perfectly so I can grow, so I can GIVE. This quote is ringing in my mind: “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” Marianne Williamson
So ... this is hard for me to say but important. My handle is still the same but my own name is no longer Kathryn Duckett. I’m now Kathryn Joachim (pronounced “jo-wake-um”) Thankfully even my tricky little business name is easier to pronounce than this 🤪 (It’s like crème brûlée in case you were wondering, although calling it cream is totally fine with me too). The personal journey I’ve been on has only made me MORE compelled to keep helping people face their fears in their businesses and get to the next level or pivot their brands. I’m so grateful I’ve had the chance to keep doing work I’m insanely passionate about, and really thankful to have gotten to do some of the best work of my career during the hardest year of my life. That blows my mind. It’s only thanks to my incredible clients and the ridiculously supportive people I have in my life that this has even happened. Thank you so much for letting me share my work and my heart with you. And, sorry my new last name is so dang hard to pronounce 😬 — Kathryn Joachim
