I don’t need their advice anymore


I’m putting myself on a business cleanse

Hey Reader,

I need to tell you something that feels both obvious and mildly embarrassing:

I spent most of this year taking advice from everybody but myself.

Like… if someone in the online business space had a thought?
A framework?
A method?
A 60-second TikTok with text overlays and vibey music?

I consumed it like it was gospel.

I invested in two masterminds.
I listened to podcasts on my walks.
I bought courses.
I bought books.
I saved approximately 4,392 Instagram posts “to revisit later” (knowing damn well I never would).
I went on retreats.
I even joined a 'MixerMind' that changed peer groups every three months ...and collected brand-new sets of opinions like my son collecting Pokémon cards.

So. Much. Input.

It was like trying to run my business inside a crowded room where everyone’s talking at once.

And somewhere in all that noise, I lost track of the most important voice in the room:

My own.

Here’s the part that hit me like a very unwelcome truth bomb:

I’ve been doing this business thing for over 11 years.
I’ve spent tens of thousands of dollars learning from the best.
I’ve sat in rooms with brilliant people.
I’ve led clients through 5- and 6-figure launches.
I’ve literally helped other business owners become category leaders.

But when it came to trusting myself?

I forgot that I’m an expert.

I forgot that I actually know what I’m doing.

I forgot that my best insights come from creating, not consuming.

And honestly?
All that advice (even the well-meaning, brilliant, thoughtful stuff) started to paralyze me.

So-and-so said do it this way.
But this guru said the opposite.
But this person swore by something entirely different.

So I sat.
On my offers.
On my marketing.
On taking action.
On decisions I should’ve made months ago.

Indecision by overdose.
Analysis paralysis with a side of self-doubt.

So I’m done.

I’m putting myself on a business cleanse.

This means:

• No more Instagram scrolling “for inspiration.”
• No more beloved TikTok (pray for me).
• No more business podcasts whispering in my ear.
• No more books telling me how someone else built their empire.
• No more “quick questions” in random coaching groups.
• No more collecting opinions like seashells at the beach.

Not because those things are bad.
But because right now, they’re too loud.

I need quiet.

I need to hear my own ideas again.

I need to trust the businesswoman who has been growing this thing for more than a decade, not the endless parade of voices the algorithm tosses at me.

Next year, I’m keeping ONE trusted advisor: the mastermind I’m already in and loving because the leader is someone I deeply respect.

But that’s it.

One voice to bounce things off of.
One channel for support.
One space for reflection.

And the rest?
I’m taking back for myself.

I’m stepping into my own authority again.
I’m building things I’ve been sitting on for far too long. (Keep an eye out for the WTFunnel?!? Funnel mentorship coming your way soon...)
I’m creating instead of consuming.
I’m letting my own voice lead.

And I can’t wait to bring you along as I unfurl all of it. Slowly, honestly, and without the noise.

If you’ve ever felt this too, like you’re drowning in advice and starving for clarity, I'm all ears. I want to know I’m not the only one who lost her own voice in the algorithm sea.

I Marie Kondo’d my entire business Last week I had the urge.Not the “clean out one drawer” urge.Not the “switch planners” urge. The burn-it-all-down-and-start-fresh urge. I don’t know if it’s the end-of-year energy, the fact that 2026 feels like it’s rumbling in the distance, or the simple reality that some stuff in my business has been collecting dust for… years. But something came over me and I went on an absolute rampage. First stop: Instagram.I unfollowed 200 accounts in one sitting.Not...

So… can we have a do-over? I wish I could say that I disappeared from your inbox these last few months because I was off having some Eat, Pray, Love revelation in Mexico. But the truth? I thought moving here would magically fix everything. Oh, sweet, naive Jenn... Turns out, the problems and the bad habits packed themselves right into my suitcase. Everything feels the same... just with more sunshine, salt water, and tacos. (Honestly, the tacos are doing the heavy lifting.) And then life got…...

“Sully’s Mom? Do you have a job?” I swatted at the 12th mosquito who tried to take me out in the middle of a conservation site, surrounded by 30 Grade 5 students with bug nets and jars. JJ, came out of nowhere. He has a tendency to do that. I like JJ. He and my son have been getting closer this year. He is funny and sarcastic and a bit older than he needs to be at this age, but he means well. Him: Sully's mom? Me: JJ, you've been to my home MANY times. My name is Jenn. Him: Sure, sure. Do you...
