In this reflective episode, Colleen shares a personal moment from a particularly full chapter in her life—a season of growth, transition, and pushing hard to bring her program to life. What began as a weekend packed with work turned into a deeper realization about brain fog, creative blocks, and the quiet wisdom of the body.

If you’ve ever tried to think your way through exhaustion or override your energy in the name of getting things done, this one’s for you. It’s a reminder that alignment matters more than output—and that sometimes, the clearest signal you’ll get is the moment your mind starts to go fuzzy.

Key Takeaways:

 

Brain Fog Isn’t the Problem—It’s the Message

• It’s not a sign to push harder—it’s a signal to pause and re-sync.

• Your body knows before your brain catches up.

Fear and Perfectionism Slow You Down

• Overplanning, overthinking, and trying to get it “just right” can block creativity.

• You can reclaim flow by choosing presence over performance.

Creative Energy Comes From Connection

• Movement, nature, and space to feel are where the best ideas come from.

• The most powerful content is felt, not forced.

Ask the Right Questions to Get the Right Answers

• “How do I want to feel?”

• “What can I let go of to feel that way?”

• Let your body lead—and let your brain follow.

Homework:

Notice where you’re overriding your body in service of “getting things done.” What’s one task, story, or expectation you can release this week? And what feeling do you want to invite in its place?
