Have you ever felt like you were standing at the edge of something bigger, something you deeply desire, only to feel completely overwhelmed by it?

That’s where I am right now.

I’ve spent months resting, recalibrating, and getting clear on what I truly want. Now, as I step back into creating, sharing, and expanding my business, I’m feeling something unexpected. A wave of resistance, doubt, and even fear.

I know this is part of the process. Growth doesn’t always feel exciting at first. Sometimes, it feels heavy, uncertain, and uncomfortable. But I also know that on the other side of this resistance is the life I’ve been working toward.

If you’re feeling this too, if you’re in the in-between space of who you were and who you’re becoming, this is for you.

Why Expansion Feels Overwhelming

We think that once we figure out our next step, everything will flow effortlessly. But here’s what I’m realizing:

Your nervous system needs time to catch up to your vision. When you expand, your body and mind process it as unfamiliar territory, even if it’s something good.
You’re holding more energy than before. More responsibility, more potential, more visibility, it’s a lot.
The old version of you is dissolving. And that can feel scary, even if you’re excited for what’s next.

There’s a part of us that wants to stay where it’s comfortable, because at least we know what to expect there. But growth requires us to step forward, even when the ground feels uncertain beneath us.

How to Move Through the Overwhelm

Instead of getting stuck in the heaviness, I’m learning to soften into it. Here’s what’s helping me:

**1. Come Back to the Present Moment**

Right now, you are safe. You are supported. Nothing is urgent.

Take a deep breath and remind yourself:
✨ *“I don’t need to have it all figured out. I just need to take one step.”*
Try this: Close your eyes, inhale deeply through your nose, and as you exhale, silently say: *“I trust myself. I trust this process.”*
Feel your shoulders relax, your heart steady. Return to this breath whenever the weight of expansion feels like too much.

**2. Focus on One Small Step**

You don’t have to build the entire vision today. What’s the easiest next step?
Writing one blog post (like I’m doing right now).
Posting a simple thought on social media.
Outlining an idea without pressure to make it perfect.
Small steps build momentum without overwhelming your system.

**3. Let Go of the Pressure to ‘Get It Right’**

What if you didn’t need a master plan? What if you allowed yourself to explore, experiment, and learn as you go?
**Clarity comes from action.** Not before it.
**Confidence is built by doing.** Not waiting.
**Your path will unfold as you walk it.**
The moment I stopped trying to control every detail and instead focused on taking the *next* aligned step, I felt something shift. It wasn’t that the fear disappeared, it just lost its grip on me.

**4. Trust That This Feeling is Temporary**

The overwhelm, the resistance, it’s just a sign that you’re expanding beyond your comfort zone. It’s not a stop sign. It’s a doorway.
You won’t feel this way forever. In fact, a few weeks from now, you’ll look back and see this as the moment you chose to move forward despite the discomfort.

You’re Not Alone in This

If you’re feeling this way too, I want you to know: I see you. I’m with you. And you’re going to make it through this.

This is part of your evolution. The heaviness will lift, the path will become clearer, and soon, you’ll feel lighter, stronger, and more aligned than ever before.

For now, just take a breath. Take one step. And trust that it’s enough.
