From Overwhelmed to Empowered: Take This One Step
The Challenge: Becoming the Highest Version of Yourself
Here’s the truth: You can’t step into the highest version of yourself from a disempowered place. It’s not just about setting goals—it’s about embodying that version of you, right here, right now.
But trust me, I know how hard that can feel. I’ve been there too.
As I transition into a new season of life—evolving from a fitness instructor to leading a global pull-up revolution that empowers women 30+ to feel strong and thrive for life—I’ve had moments where I asked myself, How do I step into this next version of me when I’ve never been here before?
If you’ve ever felt that way, you’re not alone.
Imagine Your Highest Self
Let’s try something different today. Instead of visualizing with your eyes closed, I want you to write a letter to yourself from the perspective of your highest self.
Here’s how to do it:
- Picture yourself six months from now. You’ve accomplished what you’ve set out to do, and you feel strong, confident, and empowered.
- Imagine you’re writing to the version of you who is reading this newsletter right now. What would your future self say?
Here’s a quick example:
"Hey [Your Name],
I know it feels overwhelming right now, but I promise you, everything you’re working toward is going to be worth it. You’re learning, growing, and stepping into your power every single day. Keep showing up—even when it’s hard. I’m so proud of you for prioritizing your health, your goals, and your growth. You’re stronger than you think. Keep going—you’ve got this!"
What Does the Highest Version of You Do Daily?
Once you’ve written your letter, take a moment to reflect:
- How does this version of me show up every day?
- What habits, routines, and priorities does this version of me have?
- What small, intentional actions are they taking daily to align with their goals?
You don’t need to overhaul your life overnight. Just pick one small habit or action to start today.
Your Action Plan
1️⃣ Write a Letter to Your Future Self
Take five minutes to connect with your future self and let them guide you.
2️⃣ Choose One Action
Pick one small action to align with that version of you. Maybe it’s drinking more water, taking a short walk, or journaling about your goals.
3️⃣ Reflect Daily
At the end of the day, ask yourself: Did I show up as the person I wanted to be today? If not, what can you adjust for tomorrow?
4️⃣ Celebrate Every Win
No matter how small, every step forward is progress. Celebrate it!
Why This Matters
Stepping into the highest version of yourself isn’t about waiting for the perfect time or the perfect plan. It’s about deciding to start now.
It’s about shifting from:
❌ Waiting for confidence to building confidence through action.
❌ Living by default to living by design.
❌ Seeing challenges as failures to seeing them as feedback.

Key Takeaways
1️⃣ Visualization is the first step to stepping into your power.
2️⃣ Small, consistent actions build the future version of you.
3️⃣ Celebrate progress over perfection—it’s the journey that matters.
Final Thought:
The highest version of you isn’t a destination—it’s a practice. Start today. Write your letter, take one action, and celebrate every step.
Remember, it’s not about if it all goes right—it’s about asking, What if it’s already going right?
