Let Go of Timelines & Deadlines

I met with Kelly this week for a one-on-one session (my favorite meditation lady), and it was one of those conversations that lands exactly where it needed to.

She reminded me of something I had quietly forgotten while chasing timelines and expectations: creating is what gives me joy. Not the outcome. Not the income. Not the pressure to make it “work” right now. Just the creating.

Healing House is my passion. Every idea, every product, every word I write comes from a deep place of wanting to support emotional regulation, healing, and connection for kids, for moms, for families, for myself. But somewhere along the way, I tied my creativity to urgency. I convinced myself that if Healing House wasn’t replacing my corporate income right now, then I was failing. That if I couldn’t quit my 9–5 this year, I was somehow behind.

And honestly? That pressure was stealing the joy.

She gently helped me see the shift I needed. She reminded me that my creativity doesn’t need to prove itself yet. My corporate job isn’t the enemy - it’s the supporter. It funds my ideas. It gives me stability while I explore, experiment, and create freely without fear. And there is nothing wrong with that season.

There will come a time when your creativity overpowers your corporate job and that’s when you’ll know it’s time to let it go. You don’t have to force it.

So here’s where I am now:
I’m choosing to create without the clock.
I’m choosing to enjoy the process again.
I’m choosing gratitude instead of frustration.

Healing House doesn’t need to rush. My ideas don’t need to hustle. My time will come and until then, I’ll keep creating, because that’s who I am. And that, in itself, is enough.

If you’re in a season where your dreams are growing quietly alongside something steady -let this be your permission to breathe. You’re not behind. You’re building.

And building takes time. 🌱
