Welcome back after the Easter break. This week I'm sharing two tools I've been using personally and walking my Brilliance clients through over recent weeks — because when I find myself saying the same thing on repeat in private sessions, I know it's time to broadcast it.
The first is what I've started calling the shit and the diamonds — the recognition that life rarely hands you triumph in every area at once. Your career might be hitting milestones while your home life is heavy. Your relationship might be thriving while work is falling apart. The trick isn't to pretend the hard stuff isn't there. It's to stop letting it smother the good stuff. The woman in you holds the emotional work. The CEO in you leads the diamonds. Two hands. Don't clap them together.
The second tool is one I've been teaching for years and had a fresh personal breakthrough with this week — the Russian Doll effect. I don't believe in finding yourself or becoming her. I believe every version of you you've ever been is still valid, still wise, still part of who you are now. But sometimes, after a betrayal or a trauma, we leave a doll behind. We abandon a version of ourselves we decided wasn't safe to be anymore. This week I went back for two of mine, the trusting woman I left in 2016, and the financially independent corporate professional I left in 2014, and the relief of putting them back inside me is what this episode is really about.
This is deeper work than usual. Take it as an invitation.
