You don’t care what they think… except you kind of do.


Hi Reader,

You know it’s going to take time, but still feel that quiet pressure to prove it’s working.

This came up in a few conversations last week:

  • A real estate agent who believes in playing the long game- showing up, staying genuine, and building relationships, but wrestles with the fear that quiet consistency isn’t enough.
  • A part-time professional who feels the world measures worth by a full-time workload, and is learning that her version of success doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s.
  • A creative giving herself permission to linger in the exploration phase, finding her signature style before rushing to bring it to life, but feels frustrated that her progress isn’t tangible yet.

They all know this slow stage is part of the process, but to the outside world, feel like their worth is tied to results.

Maybe you can relate to the discomfort of the slow game.
That subtle doubt that creeps in and makes you wonder if quiet effort really counts.

So how do you build trust that your efforts will pay off, even before the validation arrives

Through awareness, intention, and aligned action.

Awareness helps you notice when your thoughts start measuring worth by proof instead of progress.
Intention means creating a thoughtful plan. Being deliberate with your actions so it’s not blind trust, but a trust grounded in direction.
And action. Those small, consistent steps build momentum. Reminding you that movement is happening, even when results haven’t shown up yet.

Because the slow game is about doing what matters most and knowing why you’re doing it.

If you’re playing the slow game and second-guessing your next steps,
I can help you simplify the plan and keep momentum steady.
You can see the ways to work with me below, or schedule a short Connection Call here.

Let’s make progress feel lighter, not louder.

Until next week,
Jenine

Weird Barbie with heel and Birkenstock

We all have that "heels or Birkenstocks" moment. The choice between who we've always been and who we're becoming. Hi Reader, If I look in my closet, there’s a clear discrepancy. I have pieces I bought because they felt like the perfect elevated casual outfit. The version of me who looks put together but still comfortable. The one who shows up with a little more intention but it looks (and actually feels) effortless. And then I have the pieces I actually wear. The comfy, well-worn jeans.The...

Charlotte from Sex in the City saying, "I've been dating since I was 15. I'm exhausted. Where is he?"

Hi Reader, I was single in New York City when Sex and the City was at its most popular, so for me it wasn’t really a comedy, more like a weekly dramedy with enviable shoes. But there’s one Charlotte quote that always pops into my mind when I’m tired and putting in the work: “I’ve been dating since I was 15. I’m exhausted! Where is he?” Whether it’s dating, business, or just trying to feel satisfied in our lives, we all hit those moments where we think:I’ve been showing up. I’ve been trying....

A hand holding a thank card with the words thank you

“Thanks! I got it on sale.”“Are you kidding? You’re the one who’s gorgeous.”“It was just luck.”“No thanks. I’ve got it.”(Mentally planning how you can reciprocate...) Reader, Do any of these sound familiar? Why can receiving feel so difficult or awkward? Whether it’s a compliment, an offer, or a gift, how we respond says a lot about our inner stories. Maybe we’ve been made to feel guilty for taking, taught to be humble, or built our self-sufficiency so we never need to receive. All of those...
