The space between intention and reality.

They say "follow your passion and you'll never work a day in your life."….but what they don't tell you is that passion doesn't make the 6am starts easier, or the late nights shorter.

The truth is, when I am building something that matters to me- whether it's supporting students through their toughest exams, coaching businesses, helping families navigate homeschooling, or simply trying to create something meaningful - the work doesn't disappear. It transforms.

This isn't the polished version of entrepreneurship you see in the highlight reels. This is the real version - where passion meets practicality, where dreams collide with daily life, and where the boundaries between who you are and what you do become beautifully, messily blurred.

Some days like all of us, you question if you are doing any of it well enough. Other days I'm reminded why I started - when a student passes their exam, when a parent finds their confidence, when a business sees a breakthrough- when something I've created makes a difference to someone.

The rhythm is familiar now….and I love it ❤️

For anyone else building something in the margins of an already full life - you're not alone in the beautiful mess of it all.
