Face It, Till You Make It

2025 is here.

And if you’re anything like me, you’re probably not exactly where you thought you’d be by now.

Sound familiar? But hey, no judgment.

The good news? You've got 12 months ahead to make some serious moves.

The better news? You don’t need to fake it. You just need to face it.

You’ve probably heard that “fake it till you make it” thing, right? Sounds cute - if you act like you’ve got it all together, maybe the universe will just magically make it happen for you.

But here’s the truth: pretending doesn’t work.

Deep down, you know it’s not real.

And all that pretending just keeps you stuck in the same old cycle.

You’re still carrying the same doubts, the same fears, and the same avoidance of what’s actually holding you back. Instead of slapping a bandage over it, it’s time to face it.

So, let’s pause for a sec—what are you avoiding?

Is it tackling your finances? Finally asking for help in your business?

Or maybe, just maybe, it’s realizing that burnout isn’t some badge of honor, and you’re long overdue for a break. Whatever it is, it’s not going away if you ignore it.

Facing it might feel uncomfortable, but trust me, staying stuck is way worse.

Here’s the cool part—when you finally face it, something incredible happens. You stop wasting all that energy pretending and start channeling it into real progress.

Facing it means taking ownership of what’s holding you back and leaning into your potential. Think about it: the biggest changes in your life? They probably started when you faced something head-on.

So, why not do it again—this time, with intention?

Hey, no one’s saying you have to overhaul your entire life by January 2nd. 

Facing it doesn’t mean fixing it all at once. It means starting somewhere—even if that “somewhere” feels small.

So, here’s how you start:

1. Identify the pain point: What’s the thing that’s been bugging you? Write it down—get it out of your head.

2. Take one small action: Don’t overthink it. What’s one thing you can do today to move forward? Maybe it’s scheduling that meeting, blocking out time for something important, or even just saying "no" to something that drains you.

3. Stay consistent: Facing it isn’t a one-time deal. It’s a daily choice. Show up for yourself—even on the messy days.

Facing it? That’s the real power move. It’s not just about dealing with surface-level problems. It’s about setting yourself up for real, lasting growth. When you start facing what’s holding you back, you’re telling yourself (and the world) that you’re ready to stop playing small.

2025 can be the year everything changes, but only if you stop faking it and start facing it.

So, here’s the challenge: Face it. All of it.

The hard stuff, the messy stuff, the things that make you want to pull the covers over your head and binge-watch Netflix.

Because once you do? That’s when you’ll make it.

Face it. No excuses.
