Showing up when it doesn't work (and why that 's actually the work)

from Wildflower Wisdom Hosted by Lexi Cheng

My workshop flopped. I wanted 20 signups, I got 3. And here's what no one tells you about building something new - showing up when it doesn't work is actually more important than showing up when it does. In this episode, I'm sharing what happened when my launch didn't go as planned, why I chose to stay anyway, and what that taught me about the real work of identity shifting. In This Episode: What happened when my workshop flopped (and why I delivered it anyway) The moment where most people quit - and why staying is the actual identity work How to tell the difference between fear and what you actually need Why your effort is compounding even when you can't see the results The delusion spiral (and how to ride the waves of doubt without giving up) What "proof" actually looks like when you're building something new Practical steps to keep going when it feels like nothing's working Go on a Wildflower Walk: If you're listening to this on a walk right now, pause and notice what catches your eye.
