When Joy Becomes Your Strategy: Ditch the Hustle & Find Your Flow

Joy Over Hustle – Why Chasing the Next Goal Isn’t the Answer

Have you ever hit a huge goal in your biz, and then… felt kind of empty?

Like, “Wait—is this it?”

We’ve been there.

It’s easy to get caught up thinking, “When I hit this goal, then I’ll feel successful. When I reach that next income level, then I’ll feel like a badass.”

But here’s the deal… there’s no magical finish line.

There’s always going to be another milestone.

And if we keep putting our happiness on hold until we “get there,” we’ll never actually feel the joy of success.

So what if, instead, we stopped waiting and started choosing to feel the way we want to feel—right now?

Life only happens in this moment.

Not in the future. Not in the past.

Just… right now.

And when you start choosing joy in the now, everything shifts.

The Magnetic Power of Joyful Energy

Let’s talk energy. 

Because the energy you bring into your business—into your day—into your life?

It matters.

We hear this all the time: “When I start making big money, then I’ll feel accomplished. Then I’ll feel like I can impact others.”

But that’s not how it works.

The truth is, a joyful woman is un-freakin-stoppable. 

That kind of radiant, abundant, aligned energy?

It’s what people are drawn to.

It’s what attracts your dream clients, your dream life, everything.

People can feel your energy—even through the screen.

They can feel when you’re doubting yourself, when you're faking it, when you're holding back.

And they can feel when you’re showing up fully in your joy.

Authenticity isn’t about pretending everything’s perfect.

It’s about showing up in your energy—even if that energy is “I’m a hot mess express today but I’m here!”

Joy doesn’t come after success. Joy is what creates success.

Shift Happens: How to Feel Like a Badass Before You “Make It”

So how do you actually shift from stuck and funky to fierce and fabulous?

First, stop trying to wait for joy to come after your results.

That “When I get the results, then I’ll feel like a badass” mindset?

It’s a trap.

You’ll stay stuck in fear, doubt, and frustration.

But guess what?

You can shift your energy anytime.

Even if you wake up grumpy.

Even if you're feeling all the feelings.

You’re human—and that’s amazing.

Here’s a fun challenge: set a joy alarm.

Seriously.

Set an alarm on your phone, and when it goes off—dance, sing, jump up and down like a crazy person.

Do something that snaps you into the moment and shifts your state.

You don’t need to feel joyful 24/7. (We sure don’t!)

But being aware of your energy and choosing to shift it?

That’s powerful.

And when you can laugh at yourself—when you can be like, “Oh hey, look at me being a grump this morning”—it lightens everything up.

That awareness and ability to choose how you feel?

That’s badass energy. 

Dishes, Funky Moods & the Power of Saying No

Let’s get real: joy is found in the little things.

Like hot running water. (Seriously, Kat doesn’t use her dishwasher—she hand-washes dishes and reminds herself how blessed she is to have warm water at her fingertips.)

And joy also comes from saying no to the things that drain you.

If someone asks you to do something that doesn’t light you up—or worse, sucks the life out of you—you have our full permission to say no.

Actually, you don’t need our permission.

You just need yours.

Your energy is sacred. Your joy is sacred.

And if that means saying “nope” to a coffee date, a project, or even a conversation… do it.

You’ve got this one beautiful life.

Don’t waste it doing things that don’t serve you, your goals, or your joy.

So let’s wrap this up with a little reminder:

• You have now. Not later. Not someday. Just now.
• Your funk doesn’t define you—unless you choose to live there.
• You can shift your energy anytime.
• Joy is your strategy. Not a side effect of success.

Go set a joy alarm.

Say no to the thing you don’t want to do.

And dance like the badass joyful human you are.
