Hi Reader,

It's official, we're one week away from the Cowork launch and I. Am. Giddy. Before we get there, I want to invite you to a special pre-party happening tomorrow. At 10am CT, I'm sharing all the products for the Cowork shop and doing a little Q&A over on Instagram. I already know it's going to be the highlight of my week and I'd love to see you there! Hop over to my latest Reel and tap the reminder so you get notified when I go live.

In other launch news, I've been reflecting on why this launch feels different. It could be maturity or more experience, I've now been a business owner for 8 years. It could also be the extensive preparation, we've been working behind the scenes for nearly 6 months. But as I kept digging, I realized it was something deeper.

In February, I started seeing a trauma therapist again. I last saw a trauma therapist in 2016 when I was addressing PTSD and as I turned the corner to 30, things started bubbling up again as they often do with trauma brain. I'm not going to get into the specifics of why I chose to go back to therapy this time around, but these sessions have been transformative. As a person who can easily stress myself out, has dealt with chronic anxiety my whole life, and has struggled with being in my body, it feels unbelievable to be going into a launch with such ease, calm, and zero expectations.

These past 10 weeks of conscious work to get out of my own way and understand my brain leave me feeling lighter, happier, and ready to step into this next chapter. I now have more capacity to hold space, to celebrate, to show up and share.

At the same time, I've given myself space to let go of expectations for what this launch will be. The reality is that Cowork is so much bigger than this one launch. This is simply the opening act, the introduction of something I'm excited to build with you. I've put in the work to set the tone for this opening act and now I'm releasing to let the universe surprise me.

Maybe that feels a little woo woo for you, but for me, it's a testament to the level of peace and clarity I'm feeling about my life. Everything in my realm right now is so beautifully aligned and while my schedule is more full than ever, I'm also taking the time to recognize how it feels to be doing the work I know I'm meant to do.

That's ultimate what we're all after, right? There's more where this came from and I'm excited to share those insights with you. In the meantime, I hope to see you tomorrow morning for a little pre-party before we celebrate big next week!

Wishing beautiful things for you,

Callie
