Building While Becoming: A Journey Through the Conscious Shift Experience

What it’s like to create a course while still walking through it yourself

When I first began shaping The Conscious Shift, I didn’t sit down with a neatly packaged blueprint or a shiny end goal. I started with an ache—a pull to articulate the process I was actively living. Not a process I had already mastered, but one I was in the thick of.

And that made this course different from the beginning.

This isn’t something I wrote from a mountaintop, offering wisdom from the other side of the transformation. This was—and still is—me, choosing in real time to shift from patterns that no longer serve, and documenting the how with my hands still in the soil.

It’s vulnerable to teach what you’re still learning.

But it’s also alive.

It means the work has breath in it.

It’s not theoretical. It’s embodied. And that’s what I wanted to offer—something human. Something honest.

There were days I felt like I was writing myself forward.

Other days, I couldn’t record a module because I hadn’t yet lived it enough to trust it.

There were moments I questioned if I needed to pause the whole thing until I had more distance, more clarity, more authority.

But then I realized: this course isn’t about having all the answers.

It’s about showing you how to ask better questions.

It’s about building the capacity to stay present when things don’t go as planned.

And that’s exactly what I was doing—again and again.

The course and I have grown together.

I’ve rewritten modules when my own embodiment deepened.

I’ve adjusted the tone to reflect new levels of grace.

I’ve scrapped parts that came from ego and replaced them with softness.

Even the name—The Conscious Shift—has become more than a title.

It’s become a rhythm.

It’s how I parent.

It’s how I partner.

It’s how I pivot when plans change.

Creating while becoming is messy.

But it’s real. And it’s sacred.

So if you’re someone building something while you’re still figuring it out—

Let that be your magic.

Not your obstacle.

You don’t need to be finished to be faithful to the work.

You just need to be present.

Attuned.

Honest.

The Conscious Shift was never about perfection.

It was about honoring the process.

And as I offer this work to others, I know it’s not just a guide.

It’s a mirror.

It’s a map.

It’s a soft place to land while you lead yourself forward.

From one becoming to another—

You’re already doing it.

And the work is already working in you.
