We’re Back: Rediscovering Purpose and Confidence at Skinny Talk

Hey there wonderful souls ⭐️,

Long time no see! I’ve been a bit MIA, and I think it’s high time I shared what’s been happening behind the scenes... Skinny Talk style.

When I first launched Skinny Talk’s website, I had high hopes and a head full of content ideas. But then... crickets. Life happened, and I found myself on an emotional rollercoaster, from imposter syndrome and lack of confidence to wanting to hide away, and slowly stepping back into the light—yep, the whole shebang.

For a while, there wasn’t much happening at all. It took some serious self-talk to remember why I became the Boss of Moi, the core message I wanted to share, and how much I wanted to help you shine and thrive.

Reflecting on the Journey

So, after a Skinny Talk with myself, being brutally honest and positively reflecting on where I am today, how I got here, and the importance of moving forward, I finally found the clarity to type these words you’re reading right now. Here are some key points I realized:

• My once rock-solid habits had completely dissolved.
• My work ethic was on autopilot, leaving me disengaged.
• My drive and focus had evaporated, stripping away my confidence.

Clearly, something had to change. I needed to start with small, manageable steps. Oh, how I wished for a fairy godmother to wave her wand and fix everything instantly! But what I needed wasn't a return to "normal"—I needed to rediscover my purpose. Why do I do what I do? What’s my end game? The answer remains unchanged since I started my journey as a freelancer and business owner: to lead confidently through core values and support you in reigniting your confidence to communicate and live by those values.
