the freedom to just... leave

Reader, ok so this diary entry is scheduled and by the time you're reading this I'm on a plane to Bali. 😂

Plot twist, I came to Europe 4 months ago thinking I'd stay the whole summer with my family, but my heart kept pulling me back to Bali and I couldn't ignore it anymore.

So I booked a last minute flight and here we are. ⬇️

My sister was like "oh so you are leaving again, but why wouldn't you stay" and I didn't have a good answer except...

Which 3 years ago would've been impossible to make decisions like these.

I was stuck at a hotel reception desk working night shifts without a security guard and my entire life was dictated by someone else's schedule.

Now I just book the flight and well... leave. 😅

And I'm not making millions of dollars over here. I don't have some massive empire or a team of 20 people or brand deals rolling in all day long.

I make enough to cover my life and do what I actually love, which is writing these diaries, blog articles and helping women build the same kind of freedom I have.

And that's everything for me, because I own a business that gives me OPTIONS.

Options to leave from situations I don't like.

Options to book a last minute flight because my heart is telling me to go.

Options to say no to things that don't feel right anymore.

Options to build my life exactly the way I want it instead of the way someone else needs it to be.

That said, if that's what you want too, you know where to start. Write. Build your email list. Build your blog. Create something valuable people can purchase.

And I know that sounds oversimplified but the strategy is the easy part.

The hard part is believing it's actually possible for YOU and staying committed when nothing is happening yet.

Which means you can hand two women the exact same strategy, the same playbooks, the same tools...

But only the one with the belief, the discipline and the emotional commitment to her vision will actually turn it into something real.

That's what changed everything for me.

Not finding the perfect strategy but deciding this was possible and acting like it was inevitable. 💅🏼

"The life I want - where I have real options and real freedom is available to me. I just have to believe it and take the first step."

🧋 These diaries are free and always will be, but if this one resonated with you (or made you want to book your own last minute flight), you can buy me an iced coffee here.

See you on Saturday,

Ps. Reply and tell me - where are you reading this from? And if you could book a last minute flight anywhere tomorrow, where would you go? 🌍
