Slow is Fast

When I was younger, I instinctively knew that good things take time. I wasn’t the loudest in the room or the fastest to the finish line, but I had a rhythm, a quiet pace that worked for me. While others were sprinting ahead, I was observing, mapping out my steps, and moving with intention.


But back then? People didn’t see it that way.


I was told I wasn’t serious about my goals. That I was too laid-back. That if I really wanted success, I needed to hustle harder, do more, and look busier.


And yet, I kept hitting milestones. I moved forward. I created opportunities. I built a life that aligned with who I am... not who others thought I should be.


Then when things started to fall into place for me, people said I was lucky. But luck had very little to do with it.


The truth is I knew something they didn’t. (for some reason, they didn't read any Tortoise and the Hare books!)


Slow is fast.


When you stop rushing, you make better decisions.When you give yourself space, you can see more clearly.And when you take one aligned step at a time, momentum builds and it lasts.


Now, as a growth partner to leaders, business owners, and teams, I help others do the same. I see so many people biting off more than they can chew...trying to launch ten things at once, hiring before they’re ready, setting unrealistic timelines. And then, when it all feels too heavy, they freeze. Nothing gets done. Confidence dips. Burnout creeps in.


That’s where I come in.


I help them breathe, regroup, and break down their vision into doable steps. We focus on clarity, systems, and sustainable growth. And guess what? It works.


Not because we rushed.


But because we moved with purpose.


So if you’ve ever felt like you’re falling behind because you're not moving fast enough, I want to remind you: you’re not behind. You’re just being thoughtful and that’s your power.


Because slow? Slow is fast.
