Leaning on My Team, My Family, and Letting Go a Little

A Full Week in Every Direction

This week was filled with a little bit of everything. New clients, consults, workouts, protecting my time, and having my mom in town to help with Jett.

Some days it feels like everything is flowing perfectly. Other days it reminds me just how hard it can be to balance being a mom while building a growing company.

This week was one of those weeks where I realized something important. I need help, and I need to ask for it more often.

Having my mom here made a huge difference. Being able to focus on meetings, projects, and client work while knowing Jett was taken care of helped me stay present in what I was doing instead of constantly feeling pulled in ten different directions.

Big Progress Inside the Business

Business has been moving fast lately in the best way.

We have been onboarding new clients, running consults, and knocking out major client projects. I am incredibly proud of how well our team has been working together. Everyone is stepping up, communicating, and handling responsibilities exactly how they should.

That is the kind of progress that does not happen overnight. It takes time to build the right systems and the right team culture. But when it starts clicking, it is a really good feeling.

This week reminded me that the more I lean on my team, the stronger the company becomes.

Jett Is Officially a Food Critic

In Jett news, he has been trying more real food this week.

So far his favorites include charro beans, quesadillas, and watermelon. Eggs were… acceptable. Not his favorite, but he tolerated them.

Watching him explore food and react to new flavors is one of the most fun stages so far. Every new bite feels like a little milestone.

The First Time Away From Jett

This upcoming week is going to be a big one emotionally.

I am taking Thursday through Sunday off to celebrate my best friend at her bachelorette party. It should be an amazing weekend, but there is one part that is really hard for me.

This will be the first time I have ever been away from Jett.

Ever.

To say I am nervous would be an understatement. He is my everything, and the thought of being away from him already brings a lot of anxiety. At the same time, I know this time will be important. My best friend deserves to be celebrated, and we rarely get the chance to spend real time together anymore.

I know once I get there, I will appreciate the time with her. But getting in the car is going to be tough.

Letting Go of the Business for a Few Days

The other part of stepping away is trusting that the business will continue moving without me.

We are onboarding a new client this week, and normally I would want to be involved in every step of that process. Instead, I have to lean on my team and trust that they can handle it.

And the truth is, they can.

We have built a strong group of people who care about the work and care about our clients. That is exactly why teams exist in the first place.

This week will be another reminder that I do not have to do everything myself.

The Fun Part of Building the House

In house news, we have officially reached one of the most exciting phases of the project.

We are starting to pick out the finishing pieces. Flooring, tile, baseboards, fixtures, and all the details that actually start making the house feel real.

After months of drywall, sanding, priming, and construction work, getting to make design choices is a welcome change. It is the part where you can finally start to picture what the finished home will look like.

There is still plenty of work ahead, but this stage definitely feels more fun.

Looking Ahead

This next week will be busy, emotional, and exciting all at the same time.

I will be leaning on my team at work.

Leaning on my family to help with Jett.

And leaning into celebrating someone who means a lot to me.

Growth in life and business often requires learning how to let go just a little. Trusting the people around you. Accepting help.

And remembering that even when things feel overwhelming, you are surrounded by people who want to support you.
