Wobbles, Worth, and What’s Real

This week I had a wobble. One of those emotional, teary moments where everything felt a bit too much, the kind of moment where your inner voice whispers, “You’re not cut out for this.”

The prep, the planning, the photoshoot, the pressure… it all started to weigh heavy. I found myself questioning it all.

Do I really want to do this?
Who am I to step into this?
What if I don’t feel ready?
What if I’m not enough?

And yet, in the middle of that doubt, somewhere in between the tears and the “maybe I’ll just cancel everything”, I realised something: this is the work.

The real, honest work. Not the shiny surface stuff, but the part that requires us to keep showing up, not despite the wobbles, but because of them.

As I sat with those feelings, I began to think about how I show up in my teaching. How I create space for others to be human, to feel, to wobble, and how I can hold that same space for myself.

And just like that, something shifted.

What if I bring this moment, the rawness, the vulnerability, the very real fear into my teaching? What if this is part of the message? What if the gift is not in showing up perfect and polished, but in showing up exactly as I am, wobble and all?

Because when we allow ourselves to be seen, when we stop trying to push away the truth of our experience, we open the door to something honest, something powerful… something real.

This is the season of radiance, yes - but that doesn’t mean we always feel glowing. Sometimes radiance looks like choosing to keep going even when it would be easier to hide.

So this is me - choosing to move through the wobble. To keep preparing, to keep creating, and to trust that showing up as my whole self is enough.

Because that’s what I would say to you.

And I needed to say it to myself.
