I Almost Quit (Again)

Last week, I gave up. Closed the laptop. Crawled into bed. Slept the day away.

No fancy language. No filter. I was just done.

One minute I was celebrating book sales and reader feedback—and the next I was sinking. I felt like I was living at the edge of almost:

• Almost had a wildly successful private school.

• Almost wrote a curriculum for one of the biggest entertainers on the globe.

• Almost got out of debt.

• Almost changed my family tree for good.

“Almost” can be a haunting thing for a high achiever. And in that moment, I felt like I was wandering through a wilderness, forgetting every truth I’d held tight just days before.

But here’s what helped pull me back:

1. I changed my scenery. I left my beautiful apartment and went to my favorite coffee shop—because sometimes you have to get out of your own space to get back in your own head.

2. I listened to people who feed me. I pressed play on Ed Mylett and Mel Robbins—two voices that remind me what I’m built for.

3. I moved. I dragged myself to the gym, climbed some stairs, walked that treadmill, and reminded my body that I’m still alive. Still in the game.

Writing The Power of Pressure demanded more of me than I ever expected. It cost me my attention, my energy, my ability to stay surface-level. But it gave me something even greater: a fresh wind. A reminder that I’m needed in this space. A holy whisper: “Girl… you’re still a genius.”

So no, I didn’t give up. I couldn’t. Because I’m not climbing this mountain for ego—I’m climbing to change my family tree. And if I stop here? Then what? Go back and do what?

Nah. I’m built for the summit.

👉🏽 If you’ve ever felt like you were living in “almost”… this book was written for you.
