We love to glamorize the big leaps…the rebrands, the career pivots, the programs and offers and businesses launched, the “new era unlocked” moments. But if I’m being honest? Nothing in my life or business has ever changed because of one dramatic decision. The real transformation happened in the micro-moves.

The tiny shifts that no one else noticed. The quiet habits that didn’t look impressive online.

The uncomfortable little decisions that felt insignificant in the moment but completely rewired my trajectory.

This year wasn’t about burning it all down. It was about learning how to tend the spark instead of constantly chasing the wildfire. And these are the micro-moves that changed everything for me, ones you can borrow, remix, or steal entirely.

1. Treating my energy like a KPI

I finally stopped pretending my energy was an endless resource. Instead, I started tracking it the same way I track analytics:

• When I’m focused
• When I spiral
• When I feel social
• When I feel overstimulated

Once I stopped trying to be “on” 24/7, I became shockingly productive.

2. Choosing environments that regulate me instead of drain me

Coffee shops. My office on the days it feels good or my kitchen counter. Walks during cheer practice. I stopped forcing myself into environments that made me feel isolated or stuck and let myself work where I felt most alive.

3. Defaulting to connection instead of rumination

Every time I felt myself spiraling, looping, or going down the mental rabbit hole, I asked: “Who can I connect with instead?”

A friend.
A member.
A walk with my kids.
A podcast that actually makes me feel grounded.

Choosing connection > choosing chaos.

4. Showing up even when I didn’t feel ‘ready’

The gym streak. The calls. The events. The business growth. This year proved something I already knew but needed to relearn:

Momentum doesn’t require motivation. It requires micro-action. I didn’t show up because I felt good. I felt good because I showed up.

5. Letting myself soften while still being ambitious

This one was uncomfortable — a shift from rigidity to self-trust. From forcing to allowing. From “push harder” to “support yourself better.”

It made me a stronger leader, a more grounded mom, and a more aligned CEO.

6. Creating in small bursts instead of waiting for the perfect window

Ten minutes here. Fifteen minutes there. Drafting an entire project from my car while waiting at cheer.
My creativity exploded when I stopped waiting for long, uninterrupted blocks of time that simply don’t exist in motherhood.

7. Asking myself better questions

Instead of: “Why am I like this?”
I switched to: “What do I need right now?”

Instead of: “Why can’t I stay consistent in _____?”
I asked: “How can I make consistency easier?”

Micro-questions, macro-clarity.

8. Becoming allergic to misalignment

Anything that made me shrink? Gone. Anyone who required me to contort myself? Done. Any role where my ROI wasn’t matched with ROR (return on relationship)? Reworked.

Saying no became a power move, not a problem.

9. Letting my community pour into me, too

This is the sneaky one, the hardest micro-move of all. I finally let myself receive.

Support. Encouragement. Help.

Letting people care for me didn’t make me weak. It made me whole.

10. Making peace with slow growth that compounds

Micro-moves feel small, but they compound like crazy. This year wasn’t about speed. It was about direction. And the direction is up, aligned, sustainable, and mine.

If you’re in a season of rebuilding, here’s your invitation

You don’t need a new era. You don’t need to burn your life down. You don’t need a massive rebrand, a dramatic pivot, or a perfectly color-coded Notion dashboard.

You just need to choose your next micro-move.

One tiny shift. One small decision. One step that gets you closer to the woman you’re becoming.

She’s already here, every micro-move just brings you closer to her.
