Little Lynette is confused 😂
Started the day with my glow routine and morning vlog preparing for my day. My non negotiable no matter how long it takes me to get my vlog uploaded that day. Then headed out the door to therapy and grabbed a Mountain Dew because I knew that ikky sugar was exactly what I needed for what was about to come.
Therapy was deep today. We talked about the little girl inside me, a friendship that means the world to me, and how I’m learning to navigate an avoidant personality without taking it personally or letting it take a toll on me. How I’ve become detached to outcomes and can actually live in the present while still preparing for the future. That right there is huge growth for me because old me would’ve been gripping onto every possible outcome trying to control all of it.
Then my brother texted me saying he was on his way to get his dog. I stopped home quick to use the bathroom before heading to get my oil changed. There’s a shit ton of construction going on near my apartment because they’re completely redoing the park by my house. They’re putting in an outside movie theater and an outdoor stage and June 19th will be the first live band there. Anyways all this matters because I parked my car and got out and the construction workers are all waving at me saying hi just being genuinely kind and respectful and I’m over here like… people are seriously seeing me lately.
So anyways I finish my business inside my apartment and head to the oil change place. Asked them to check my filter knowing full damn well I drive a baby Range Rover and they may not even be able to replace it but at least tell me if I need to figure it out. Got my oil changed, new wiper blades, coolant topped off because if y’all remember a few months ago my coolant hose exploded and left me stranded and my hero came and rescued me.
While I’m there the dude helping me notices my shirt and we just start vibing and next thing I know there’s guys popping outa the woodwork all coming over to look at my car and talk. We went from two guys upstairs directing traffic to four then five and internally I’m dying laughing because what I’m realizing lately is my energy is contagious. I’m not even trying. I’m literally just existing and somehow people keep gravitating toward me everywhere I go lately.
After that I headed back home and had a few minutes before work so I went down to the business center and got my mushroom coffee going. Ended up having another deep conversation because for some reason people naturally tell me their problems. I think it’s because I look at things from every angle instead of just one perspective. I try to understand people instead of instantly judging them.
Then I ran upstairs took a shower and guess who did her eye makeup today? Yeah me.
As I’m heading out of my apartment building not one but TWO people stop me to tell me how beautiful I’m looking lately, how young and youthful I look, how long my hair has gotten, just all these wild amazing compliments. I’m like y’all I love you but I gotta go because I cannot be late for my client.
So I get to my office and get all set up and my first client was a new client. I’m always awkward as hell with new clients because I’m full of piss and vinegar and I never know how people are gonna receive me. Anyways by the end of the session we realize she was debating whether or not she should come at 1:33 and took it as her sign to book. We finished her session at 3:33. These are things you just can’t make up.
She had the most beautiful emotional release and honestly I’m truly honored that I was able to help her settle her nervous system even just a little bit. I hope I get the pleasure of working with her again.
Also sidenote apparently little Lynette over here is inspiring people to stop just chasing their dreams and actually start taking action to make them reality because over the last week I’ve had three different people reach out to me basically saying exactly that to me and honestly that still blows my mind because WHAT?! Me?! Life is weird.
By 4 o’clock I’m sitting there waiting for my next new client which was also a referral thinking welp let’s see where the night takes me now.
The next client ended up being absolutely amazing too. She told me she’d never felt so good before and that she could tell I completely understood her body. She has RA and as a massage therapist who also has autoimmune issues and RA being one of them I understand parts of that experience from my own perspective. I never like saying I fully understand people because everybody’s brain and body experiences things differently, but I can absolutely understand the energy behind what somebody is carrying and feeling.
Then I had a HeadSpa treatment and it was amazing. We got her next session booked already. Next time we’re doing a 90 minute HeadSpa with a 30 minute massage and I’m so freaking excited watching my business grow like this. Sometimes I genuinely cannot believe this is my real life now.
Then I went live on TikTok and Facebook with my girl and did a back massage plus the third peel of a series so in two weeks we can move into micro needling.
AND THENNNNNN…
I looked at my bank account and holy shit. I got an automatic deposit from Facebook.
Like excuse me WHAT?!
I am officially making money as a content creator now and I seriously cannot believe this is my life.
The craziest part is I didn’t really put a ton of effort into becoming a “content creator.” All I’ve really been doing is showing up authentically and trying to get more comfortable being seen and being on camera in case one day my memoir actually takes off and I end up doing podcasts or speaking or hosting retreats or whatever life has planned for me.
That’s honestly why I started doing the morning vlogs and nightly blogs in the first place. Writing has always been easier for me than speaking because severe dyslexia affects way more than just reading and writing for me. It affects how my brain processes information in general. My brain holds SO much information but getting it from my brain to my mouth in the correct order is a totally different story. I mix words up constantly. My dyslexia isn’t just something on paper. It’s literally how my brain functions and processes the world around me.
Over the last few months I’ve been allowing myself to be fully seen and heard for exactly who I am and where I’m at without holding back and I’m finally getting comfortable with it. I shook through being uncomfortable for a long time and now it’s starting to become easier. It’s becoming more natural.
