There’s a version of this story where I spiral.
Where I rage.
Where I declare that the universe isn’t listening to me.
But that’s not the version I’m living anymore.
Today, a $376 client dispute tried to pull me back into my old self — the self that panicked when money moved, the self that felt defeated by inconveniences, the self that tied her worth to every dollar.
Instead, I chose something different.
The day itself wasn’t “perfect.”
My house was a mess.
My dog had an accident on the floor.
I had to pick up my son early from school because he wasn’t feeling well.
I hadn’t made my sales goal that day, despite how much I’ve been growing.
And then, to top it all off, I was notified that a client dispute had been processed against me — even after I had refunded her gratuity — and $376 was being pulled from my account.
It felt unfair.
It felt frustrating.
It felt like too much at once.
For a moment, my nervous system screamed:
“See?! It’s all crumbling. You should panic. You should spiral. You should fight.”
But then something deeper rose up inside me.
Something new.
Something stronger.
And it said:
“No. You fought like hell to become this version of yourself.
You are not giving up your seat at the throne over $376.
You are not abandoning your identity because of an annoying gnat of a situation.
You are not letting a single day define your destiny.”
In that moment, I realized:
This wasn’t about the money.
This was about who I am now.
Millionaires deal with disputes.
Business owners deal with setbacks.
Leaders deal with annoyances.
The difference is, they don’t let those moments move them off their center.
And neither would I.
Yes, the situation was unfair.
Yes, it made me angry.
Yes, I filed an appeal. (Because boundaries matter.)
But emotionally?
Energetically?
I decided that even if I never get that money back, I would not be moved from who I have become.
I decided that even if I lose $30, $376, or whatever the number is,
I am not losing myself.
And the truth is —
I didn’t lose anything at all.
I gained more:
- More self-trust
- More emotional mastery
- More nervous system regulation
- More resilience
- More sovereignty
- More wealth frequency
I realized that everything that happens in my reality — even the unfair, frustrating, messy moments —
are not happening to me.
They are happening for my growth.
For my refinement.
For my strengthening.
For my ultimate expansion.
Because the universe isn’t obsessed with my comfort.
The universe is obsessed with my greatness.
And real greatness isn’t built on perfect days.
It’s built in moments exactly like these — when you stay seated at your table,
calmly sipping your champagne,
while chaos swirls around you,
unbothered, unmoved, and unbreakable.
Today, I didn’t lose $376.
I gained a deeper embodiment of the wealthy woman I already am.
And that is a return no dollar amount could ever replace.
Victory Affirmation I’m Anchoring Today:
“I stayed seated in my power today.
I chose growth over reaction.
I chose sovereignty over spiraling.
I chose my new identity over old patterns.Today, I became even more magnetic, even more powerful, even more wealthy.
Nothing was lost — only transmuted.
I am proud of myself.
I am steady.
I am victorious.”
