this shifted EVERYTHING


I checked in with one of my coaching clients and asked, “So, how’s the project going?”

Them: “It’s going…” [trailing off as to guard against uncertainty]

This is a common conversation I have with clients.

We’re usually working on something big—personally or professionally—and it’s so easy to focus on what’s not working.

So I always encourage the opposite: celebrate the small wins. They add up. 🎉

This client was overwhelmed. They came into the session thinking they’d have to delay everything or hire help they couldn’t afford.

Sometimes it's not either-or.

So we made a plan.

We identified the most important question, brainstormed backup options, and listed 20 people in their community to reach out to.

With clear steps, their anxiety shifted into momentum. Now, they’re moving forward with confidence.

They suddenly have more support than expected. The key person with the exact skills they needed was available and eager to help. Plus, other roles were quickly filled, with backup volunteers on deck.

When I later asked what changed, they said:

“I was able to let go of the limitations my mind was putting on it. I kept thinking, ‘There’s no way I can get all this help.’”

🚀 But action changed the story. The limitations were ALL IN THEIR MIND.

Maybe you're in a similar spot, Reader—holding back because all you can see are the obstacles. That’s your cue to take one small step anyway.

And then see what happens instead of just thinking about it.

Progress doesn’t always look like a big leap. But even a tiny step forward can unlock the next one.

You've got this.

In Joy,

Nyssa

P.S. Sometimes all it takes is one small, soul-aligned step to shift everything. If you're ready for that, reply with “I’d love to talk,” and we’ll set up a discovery call to explore what’s next for you. 🔮

One night a few weeks ago, Kelly asked the question no one wants to hear in a Florida summer: “Is it hot in here?” Sure enough, the AC wasn’t cooling past 75. It wasn’t an easy fix with freon, we needed a whole new condenser. Thankfully, our handyman saved us with two window units to get through the week. And then, two days later, our old pup Bodhi declined. We knew his time had come. What timing. So we sat with him—listening to the constant white noise of the window unit—as we said our last...

Earlier this month, I got to spend time at one of my favorite places, Cocoa Beach. I love starting the day watching the sunrise from the porch. One year, I kept seeing this woman down at the beach. But she wasn't walking. She was ecstatically dancing down the beach. Headphones on. Arms moving, hips swaying. I immediately wanted to meet her, befriend her, and also be her. On my last morning, I finally said something:“I’ve seen you dancing all week. Thank you, it’s made my day.” She smiled and...

Last Spring, I got my oil changed and they told me my battery was failing. Trying to save money, I picked one up at the auto parts store instead of the dealership. Then at my recent oil change? “Your battery’s failing again.” 🤦♀️ Impossible, I thought. It’s brand new. So I went back to the store and asked the guy to test it. He looked annoyed to leave the air conditioning and check a battery in the Florida heat. But as we stepped outside, his phone rang. It was Black Sabbath’s War Pigs....
