I yapped a little about this in my stories today and I wanted to share some of what’s been on my mind and in my heart….

I believe we should ask ourselves what success feels like to us, versus what it “looks like” to us or others.

If we can take a step back, look inward, to answer it authentically and feel that shift where it’s bringing us closer to achieving our goals. Where we prioritize the things that actually matter and make a difference in our lives, and the lives of the people we are working with, partnering with, and collaborating with. Removing some of the pressure we put on ourselves.

So here’s what I got:

For me, success feels like a beautiful flow from life to business and vice versa - calm, joyful, and fun. Enjoying the little moments and finding bliss in things like reading, running, baking, drinking coffee, deep conversations (Scorpio here lol) and meeting new people who have similar passions in life.

I gain contentment from being able to help others make a positive impact - not only in their business and with their business, but in their lives as well. How sharing other pieces of myself in my business helps others feel comfortable, maybe even vulnerable or confident in doing the same.

Human connection is how I run my business and it may sound silly being in the digital space, however, that connection relies on communication, building trust and most importantly listening to not only what people are saying - but what they don’t say. Holding space, and building these relationships is always going to matter to me.

After years of constantly pushing myself in to that hustle culture, along with comparison, and telling myself I always have to be working or I won’t succeed - (not sure where that narrative came from). I decided it was time for me to focus
on what success felt like to me instead of trying to fit myself into what others had defined successful. And you know what I realized - it feels damn good to go my own way and work my business and my life the way I do because it brings me joy!

At the end of the day, how my life feels to me is so much more important than how my life looks.

What up what up! I’m Barbie 💃🏻
If you’re new here or if we’ve been quietly passing each other online, welcome!

I’m a creative who believes coffee is a ritual, music is therapy, and dancing is a form of joy (especially kitchen dance parties 😂).

I care deeply about mental health, especially for creatives, business owners, and humans who feel a lot. I believe success doesn’t have to come at the cost of your nervous system, and that slowing down can actually be a power move. (I’m still learning how to do this - lovingly a work in progress over here).

I am forever grateful for the work I get to do and the people I have the privilege of working with. It’s an honor to have people trust you with their work and a piece of who they are.

You’ll usually find me with a cup of coffee nearby, music playing in the background, or my nose stuck in a book, and a constant desire to leave people feeling a little lighter and better than when I found them.

I’m here for deep and honest conversations, intentional growth, and building things that feel aligned. Not rushed. Not loud. Just real.

If that resonates, I’m really glad you’re here 🤍
Tell me something about you. I’d love to know.

xo,
B
