Life has a way of testing us, doesn’t it? Just when we think we’ve got everything under control, the unexpected happens—a medical emergency, a financial hiccup, or a family situation that demands your time and energy.

For most people, these moments can feel like derailments, throwing us off course and leaving us struggling to keep up with even the basics of day-to-day life. Now, imagine adding the weight of big business goals and looming deadlines to that equation.

That’s exactly the situation my client, “Marie,” found herself in last December.

When Plans Go Off the Rails

Marie had high hopes for the end of the year. She was working on launching her business by completing a done-with-you program that would serve as her business’s foundation. The goal? Wrap everything up by December 31, launch in January, and enjoy the holiday break with her husband and three kids.

But life, as it often does, had other plans.

Just weeks before winter break, one of her children came down with a contagious illness. If you’re a parent, you know how this goes—it wasn’t long before her other kids caught it too. Suddenly, her carefully planned workdays were overtaken by sick days, doctor visits, and round-the-clock care.

To top it off, a client she had been working with decided to end their contract, adding financial uncertainty to the mix.

The old version of Marie might have felt defeated. She would’ve written off the rest of the year, overwhelmed by the chaos and the pressure. But this time, things were different.

The Power of a Paradigm Shift

Marie leaned into a new approach—a mindset and strategy she’d been cultivating through our work together in OVERFLOW: VIP Inner Circle.

Instead of resisting the chaos, she embraced it. She stopped fighting against what was happening and started asking herself powerful questions:

• What is this situation teaching me?
• How is this working in my favor?
• What beliefs or fears might be surfacing right now, and how can I shift them?

This paradigm shift didn’t just help Marie navigate the chaos—it helped her thrive.

Thriving in the Midst of Chaos

Despite having a fraction of the time she had planned, Marie stayed focused on her goals. Here’s what she accomplished in one of the most challenging months of her year:

1. She completed her course—on time and ready to launch her business.
2. She hit her financial goal for the month, even after losing a client, and lined up new, better-aligned clients for January.
3. She made time for herself—including a girls’ getaway to Whistler with her best friend and attending a local women’s conference that aligned perfectly with her goals.
4. She set and enforced boundaries, balancing her family’s needs with her own priorities, without guilt or overwhelm.

Through it all, Marie remained calm, focused, and resilient. She trusted that everything was working out in her favor—and it did.

What’s the Secret?

Marie’s transformation wasn’t about working harder or forcing things to happen. It was about shifting her mindset and energy. She stopped playing the victim to her circumstances and stepped into her power.

Here’s what made the difference:

• Self-awareness: Marie learned to recognize and address the fears and beliefs that were holding her back.
• Surrender: She let go of resistance and trusted the process, knowing that things would unfold as they were meant to.
• Alignment: She focused on what truly mattered, letting go of what didn’t serve her and creating space for new opportunities.

This is the kind of work we do in OVERFLOW: VIP Inner Circle. It’s not about quick fixes or surface-level strategies. It’s about creating lasting change from the inside out.
