The Identity shift Hangover

here’s a part of success no one can prepare you for...

No my loves...its Not the hustle.Not the strategy.Not even the “believe in yourself” bit.

It’s the wobble.

The moment where everything you’ve been working towards… actually bloody happens!

And instead of feeling calm, grounded, and “I’ve made it” energy…

You feel:

✨ excited

✨ proud

✨ slightly in disbelief

✨ and also… quietly fucking terrified

Because your identity has shifted faster than your nervous system can keep up.

2026 had only just started and in February I manifested two huge life changing things

My dream career as The Brand Experience and Education expert for the most incredible, aligned beauty brand.

I'm talking...if i waved a magic wand to create the best job ever this would be it! National travel , presenting, educating , Inspiring people to be their best self..The Ultimate positive impact!

Second of all My dream body. My entire life I struggled with self-image , terrible habits with food and a belief that I couldnt be the type of person who is "fit and healthy" I am the girl that was always on a

yo-yo diet, starving all week then stuffing my face with cookies and ice-cream on the weekend. I was Tired , rundown and fedup of feeling like a sack of shit every monday! So I decided to change. to be the person who fuels her body with nutritious and delcious food, to be the person who values moving her body and creating sustainable health. Its not forced , It doesnt feel like a chore , Its a new lifestyle I have created and I will never go back to my old ways.

These are the kind of things that sat on my vision board for YEARS.

And now I’m here… living it.

And honestly?

This is the happiest I’ve ever been.And the most scared I’ve ever felt!!

Because with growth comes decisions, the kind that don’t make sense on paper……but feel completely right in your soul

Letting go of things.Outgrowing people.Choosing yourself in ways you never have before.

Becoming someone new… while grieving who you used to be.

And then… the voice comes in.

You know the one.

“Don’t get comfortable.”“You need to push harder.”“Don’t mess this up.”“People lose it all the time.”

Suddenly success doesn’t feel like success anymore.

It feels like pressure.

But here’s the truth I had to sit with:

There is no one watching you with a scoreboard.

No one handing out points for:

✔ promotions

✔ pay rises

✔ weight loss

✔ awards

✔ being “perfect”

That pressure?

You created it. yes YOU!! and thats ok , dont beat yourserlf up about it- just be aware

Even the most successful people in the world have said the same.

Emma Watson once said:“I’m just going to keep trusting that I’m enough.”

Jim Carrey said:“I wish everyone could get rich and famous… so they see it’s not the answer.”

And Oprah Winfrey reminds us “The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams.”

Because the real meaning of life isn’t achieving.....It’s experiencing.

It’s:

• laughing at random stuff on a Tuesday, the stupid reels your friend sends you, the dog making silly noises, remembering the time when you face planted the pavement after bottomless brunch

• feeling proud of how far you’ve come becuase once you thought where you are now would be IMPOSSIBLE

• sitting in a moment and actually being in it. no phones , no noise just fully present

• letting it be enough

  
  

And the biggest lesson I’ve learned in this season?

I am the only one deciding if I’m good enough.

Not my job.Not my body.Not my bank account.Not other people.

Me.

So if you’re in the wobble right now…

Where everything is changing,and you don’t quite recognise yourself anymore…

Good shit!!!

That means it’s working.

Take the pressure off.

You’re not behind.You’re not about to lose it all.You’re not failing.

You’re expanding.

And just in case you need to hear it today:

You’re doing a really good job my love!

love The Mindset Model x

cheers to you!
