THE OCTOBER REPORT

Welcome back, Wealthy Girls.
I have to be honest with you. I havenât been saying everything I want to say because I don't want to trigger you. I didnât even realize I was doing this until recently, and once I did, it hit me hard. By holding back, Iâve actually been doing you a disservice. In 2017, I shared my story of paying off $36,000 of debt in 18 months. Back in 2019, I shared a wild, uncomfortable, bold goal of wanting to become a millionaire by the time I turned 27.
I shared my complete story of paying off all my debt. And then for four years, I gave quarterly updates of my net worth on my journey to becoming a millionaire. I shared the numbers. The mindset shifts. The breakdowns and breakthroughs. I let you in on every step of my journey to building wealth from scratch. Then, in the spring of 2023, I hit that goal. I became a millionaire. But since then?
I havenât shared a single net worth update. I havenât talked about the next goals Iâve set. I havenât even whispered the bigger goals Iâm chasing.
So today, I want to talk about why that is, and call out the money beliefs that have crept in and tried to convince me to keep playing small.
The limiting money beliefs I bought into after hitting $1M:
-
âMy goals are not realistic. If I share it, people wonât relate.â
-
âWanting more feels greedy. I should just be grateful and be quiet.â
Itâs wild because these are the same thoughts I had at 22 years old, when I paid off $36,000 of debt in 18 months. And guess what? Sharing that story changed everything.
It launched this company. It reached hundreds of thousands of women. It inspired a financial ripple effect Iâll never be able to measure.
But imagine if I hadnât told that story. If I had decided, âNo one will relate to this.â If I had let guilt or shame or fear of triggering someone keep me silent?
How dare I.
How dare I shrink my desires instead of sharing them.
How dare I gatekeep whatâs possible because I donât want to be triggering.
How dare I pretend thereâs a limit to whatâs acceptable to dream of and the impact of that dream.
How dare I treat desire like itâs a liability instead of the catalyst for impact.
So letâs talk about it.
I didnât stop growing financially after I became a millionaire. In fact, I became a multi-millionaire. My net worth is now over $3 million, and my next milestone is to hit my retirement goal of $8 million. My retirement goal isnât to actually stop workingâ I freaking love working. My âretirementâ goal is to be work-optional to the point where I could, at any time, live off of my investment portfolio instead of active income if I wanted to.
This is my goal Iâm working toward, and yet I havenât shared it at all in the last 2 years. Why? Because I was telling myself a new version of that same story that I told myself back in 2018: "This is too much. People will judge you. Itâs not safe to want more. Itâs too unrelatable to share.â
But the truth is that sharing your stories, your desires, and your ability to go after them freely can be incredibly expansive and inspiring. So, Iâm done shrinking. Iâm done filtering my success to make it more comfortable. Iâm done pretending that playing small helps anyone. Iâm done pretending that still having the goal, but staying quiet about it, helps anyone.
The goal isnât just more money. Itâs becoming the version of myself who can receive more without guilt, without fear, without apologyâ knowing that going after big goals amplifies the things I care about.
Because I do know this...
The more I receive, the more good I can do:
For my family.
For my team.
For women around the world.
For the causes I care about.
For the life I want to keep building.
And I want the same for you.
So, what story are you telling yourself thatâs holding you back?
Is itâŚ
âThis goal is too big.â
âI should just be grateful for what I have.â
âWhat if people think Iâm greedy?â
âWhat if I fail? What if it isnât possible?â
âWhat if I succeed and canât handle it?â
If your big dream came true tomorrow, would your body and mind feel safe receiving it? Or would you sabotage it because deep down, you still donât feel like itâs okay to want it?
Wanting more doesnât make you ungrateful. Going after more doesnât make you too much. Your desire is not a threat; itâs a way to inspire you to take action toward a goal that impacts more lives than your own.
Youâre being called to expand. And expansion is uncomfortable. But staying small? Thatâs not your path.
Whether your big goal is to bring in millions more or to finally pay off one credit card, you are allowed to want what you want. You are allowed to go after it boldly. You are allowed to talk about it, share it, own it, and live it. Because your courage gives someone else permission. Your progress isnât just yours. Itâs part of the ripple effect. So donât let your old stories or inherited beliefs keep you playing a game that no longer fits the woman youâre becoming.
Letâs rewrite the story. Letâs normalize overflow. Letâs get louder. Letâs get bolder. Letâs stretch our nervous systems to match our potential.
Letâs freaking do it.
