💸The Hidden Cost of Hustle: A $250,000 Lesson in Self-Trust

Do you ever look back at a major business decision and wonder, “How did I not see that coming?”

I have. And for me, that moment of hindsight came after a $250,000 mistake that wrecked my confidence.

It happened during the pandemic. I was feeling vulnerable, and like so many high-achievers, I reached for what I thought was a lifeline: a proven path, a system from someone who seemed to have all the answers.

What I learned was a hard, expensive lesson. The problem wasn't my strategy. The problem was that I was being guided by fear, not by the true essence of me.

The Realization: I Wasn’t Broken, I Was Disconnected

The most successful entrepreneurs and professionals I know have a secret they rarely admit: they often feel like they're holding it all together while secretly wondering if they're about to fall behind.

This leads to a dangerous cycle:

• We look for outside approval and external systems.
• We try to adopt someone else’s framework, hoping it will be our magic bullet.
• We push ourselves harder, even when our tanks are already empty.

I realized I wasn't broken, lost, or in need of another productivity hack. I just needed to remember who I really was and learn to trust that person again. When I did, the fog lifted, the guilt dissolved, and the clarity I’d been chasing finally arrived.

Your “Spicy Brain” Is Not the Problem—It’s Your Superpower

If you’re a creative person with a million ideas, you’ve probably been told you’re “scattered” or that you “just need to pick one thing.”

But what if that busy, creative mind—your “spicy brain”—was never the problem? What if it’s actually your greatest asset, and all you’ve been missing is a way to work with it instead of fighting against it?

This is the shift from hustle to heart intelligence. It’s about learning to trust your natural rhythm and inner resources. When you do, the results show up in surprising ways—not just in your business, but in your entire life.

One Thought to Carry With You

The next time you feel pressured to make a decision based on what you think you should do, pause and ask one simple question:

“Is this action coming from a place of fear, or from a place of trust in myself?”

That one question, answered honestly, can change everything.

I’d love to see you in the masterclass.

Believing in YOU,

Tina💜
