How do you feel?

How do you feel? It's probably not a surprise to you that I'm a big thinker. My instinct is to search for a conclusion, a final answer. But recently that hasn't felt so easy. Post-launch and a little tired, my brain has felt foggy. So not wanting to add to the noise without a clear message, I've not really known what to say. But there's still a whole lot going on. And I've committed to sharing the reality of building this business. So here goes. No conclusions. No action steps. But a bit of what I'm feeling right now. I feel challenged to untangle the relationship between my identity and my impact (wish me luck, tips appreciated). I feel excited by what's to come in 2020. I also feel a bit exhausted by that^. I feel totally bemused and incredibly grateful for how things have grown this year. I feel ready to take a few weeks away from work. I feel scared that the success of this business is what will make it fail (don't even get me started on this). I feel content in my personal life, for the first time in a long time. You see, giving myself permission to feel is something I'm working on. It's messy. It seems unproductive. But it's powerful. And I'm learning that 'you've got this' is true DESPITE your feelings, not without them. So, how do you feel? I'm challenging you to let go of what's polished and finish the sentence 'I feel...' below. Postcard design by the INCRED @studiobyher
