Dusty Corners:
Ready to dive deeper?
As a past-professional photographer and someone who still loves to capture moments with a camera, I can confidently say:
Based on your quiz responses, you’ve got no shortage of good qualities, but on the flip, you might struggle with certain things more than others — here are some outsider insights into the dusty corners you might shy away from and the twinkly lights you boldly share with others…
Twinkle Lights
✨You're a courageous go-getter and you add fuel to any fire. You know how to get things done, and your energetic streak is contagious.
✨You're not afraid of a challenge and you know how to trust your instincts.
✨ You're a natural storyteller, leader, tactician, CEO, and innovator. You're independent to the core and you're always ahead of the curve.
🧹With all your inner fire… it's hard for you to sit back, slow down, and celebrate your wins. Take time to be gentle with yourself, reset your nervous system, and reclaim your JOY.
🧹Action comes easy to you, vulnerability not so much. Look for places where you feel safe to open up.
🧹Balance your individualist style by taking more time to listen, connect, and ask for help.
A world without shadows would make for some pretty drab pics and people.
Uniquely You Check-In
You know yourself better than anyone, so grab a notebook and jot down a few unique to you twinkle lights and dusty corners…
Remember: this isn’t about what’s right or wrong or putting elements of yourself into boxes labeled “black + white”. It’s about accepting the GRAY. The truth that no one on this earth is perfect, and thank God for that.
When you accept yourself for all that you are, only then can you shamelessly evolve into an even more authentic version of self.
After all…
You’re a full-spectrum human — not just being, but in the process of BECOMING.
Change is the only constant.
You might be a work of art, but who you are isn’t static like the Mona Lisa. So take this opportunity to tune into who you’re becoming.
Like the cutest lizard at the zoo, can you shed what doesn’t serve you anymore and build a new layer of self that supports the next phase in your ongoing evolution?
Maybe you're ready to:
… turn your loss into a legacy of openness and awareness so others don't feel so alone in their time of turmoil.
… stop hustling so hard to renovate the dang cafe yourself and get the help you know you need.
… take the Spanx off and show up as your curviest, freest self with zero need to apologize.
… give yourself permission to dream bigger and follow your creative curiosities without judgment (whether it’s picking up a paintbrush, restoring an old lamp, writing a book, inventing a new recipe, or something totally different!)
… pause , rest, reset, and practice not attaching your deservedness to how hard you work or how much you give.
Success isn’t like chia seed pudding; it doesn’t gel overnight. You’re going to have to walk slowly in the direction of yourself, one small step at a time.
This is where…
Bring to mind ONE thing you want to let go of starting now so you can get one step closer to the person you’re becoming.
Take a deep breath, do a quick body scan, and give yourself 15 seconds:
The woo meets the work.
Uniquely You Check-In
Got it?
Francis Cholle, author of The Intuitive Compass, puts it this way:
“We don’t have to reject scientific logic in order to benefit from instinct.”
We can honor and call upon all of these gifts, and we can seek
balance. And by seeking this balance we will finally bring all of the
resources of our brain into action.”
It’s in the science and the self.
The work and the woo.
The Google and the gut.
When we invite that balance, we can begin to recognize the differences between our own voice and the voices around us. We start to find peace about whether or not we’re doing the right thing. We can start to hear our own voice again, loud and clear, above any other noise.
It sounds different for each of us, but it’s there and it’s impossible to describe because it’s not just within us, it is us. It speaks our language,and you’ll know it when you hear it. And also? You’ll know it when you don’t.
When’s the last time you sat down face to face with just… yourself? (Don’t worry about the physiological impossibility of this, just use your imagination 😉)
“
"If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people."
- Virginia Woolf
There’s this thing called negativity bias. In a nutshell, it’s our very human penchant to emphasize the negative so much that we often allow it to gobble up the good.
And so we focus on what’s wrong. We pick ourselves apart, waging a war within that no one else can see.
The result? We lose touch with the truth of who we really are, what we really want, and how we really feel.
It’s time for you to breathe life into that dream of who you are becoming. Name it out loud. Hold her close to your heart. Strive to balance out your inner critic with your inner Lizzo.
Sing to yourself:
"I'm my own soulmate."
Or another fave…
"I'm way too fine to be this stressed."
This first, shaky step is where confidence grows. This is where the “magic happens.” This is how dreams become reality.
This is where the woo aspects of going within and getting REAL with yourself, become the most meaningful work you could possibly do.
If you’re like most people, you might have a hard time coming up with an answer.
When did you last acknowledge all that you are, how far you’ve come, all the actions big and small you’ve taken that have shaped who you are in this moment?
Based on your quiz responses, I want to share a story about the cozy corner and how to hear yourself again (spoiler: this is straight from the pages of my best-selling book How Are You, Really?)
“I can’t imagine leaving . . . but I also can’t fathom staying,” my friend said about her career as she grabbed a handle of truffle fries. Around the table, we all nodded in unison. Been there, done that with work, with relationships, with just about everything. We’ve followed the road we were accustomed to—the beaten path instead of the best one.
Head to your inbox when you’re done reading through your quiz result for a Valiant Visionary specific story & practice straight outta my best-selling book How Are You, Really?

It’s time to take a look at Who You Have
Ready to build a network that nurtures your next-level?
Call me captain obvious, but the people in your life have a massive influence when it comes to who you are today and who you’re becoming!
Your trek does not have to be this solitary climb that leaves you at the mountain top to take in the view all by yourself.
Take it from me: there is breathtaking beauty in letting go and letting in.
So why do we so rarely stop and appreciate the people who fill our days with smiles, the ones who make us think, the humans we admire, the souls we could always turn to for solid advice, the friends who bring the fun, the colleagues who make work meaningful, the list goes on.
The thing about building a tight-knit network of people you can turn to for anything and vice-versa?
You’ve heard it a million times before: if you want to make a friend, be a friend. That’s true, but I believe there’s more to the old adage.
To find your people, you have to be your person.
But can I offer you a gentle truth here?
Your full, true, and whole self. Naked while fully clothed. It’s one of the hardest, most important things to do, and it’s one of the rarest practices in our modern digitally tethered age.
Why? Because we get this wrong over and over again. We scroll through seas of familiar faces every single day. We send Insta likes and emoji affirmations. We rely on social media to keep us, well, social. And we assume that, if we’re connected 24-7 to nonstop, ever-expanding networks, we’ll never run the risk of being lonely.
The opposite of loneliness isn’t just connection. The opposite of loneliness is being known. It’s a connection with people you know truly know you.
You have to show up as yourself.
A quiz result can only take you so far — give yourself some space to check in on where the gaps are in your personal tapestry of support…
✔️ Are you showing up fully for the people around you?
✔️ What’s holding you back from offering your honest self to friends, new and old?
✔️ Where can you let go? Who can you let in to share your load?
Uniquely You Check-In
You’re a full-spectrum human — not just being, but in the process of BECOMING.
Here’s the thing influencers don’t realize — people get to CHOOSE who they allow into their sphere of influence. So let me ask you…
Are the brands and teachers and thought leaders you’re following on IG inspiring you or are you getting caught in comparison traps that leave you feeling tapped out?
Based on your quiz responses, I have a few ideas for more resources might want to learn from.
^^All of the above is about your INNER circle, but what about the people who you choose to learn from, the leaders lighting the way to a destination you feel called to work toward?
People who’s Instagram feeds reflect who they authentically are. Human beings who are equally flawed but absolutely committed to living their most authentic lives. Wanna meet ‘em?

I believe that change happens where the woo meets the work. I can’t wait to show you exactly what I mean…
Let’s turn down the noise of the world and go back to the heart of it all…
After educating thousands of women across the globe, I’ve seen the same things come up over and over for all of us: self-doubt, imposter syndrome, unfulfilled dreams, fears and anxieties, and a deep, audible cry to have a meaningful life and legacy.
I wrote my #1 NYT best-selling book How Are You, Really? (and the quiz you just took!) as an answer to all of those question marks. As a place for me to meet with you, my dear reader, at our very own starting line — or restarting line.
01
We sure as hell can’t always question our lives clearly if we don’t close our eyes to the nonstop jazz hands of every other answer parading by.
Some of the questions and practices I shared in this quiz will require you to circle back, sit down, get still, and dig deep. I don’t think you’d be here if you didn’t have what it takes.

Sharing is caring!
Maybe you’re thinking:
Get ready to take stock of who you are today so you can become the person you want to be for all of your tomorrows.
Here’s a page outta your Perfectly You Playbook: (you’ll write the rest, right?)
Get Quiet
Commit
I'm a big fan of goal setting, but an even bigger fan of goal getting. Staying connected to who you are and who you are BECOMING is a lifelong commitment. But with that commitment come a whole lot of gifts.
Namely, a life you can be sure is authentically yours. Worth it? I think we both know the answer.
Build your toolkit

Some of the questions and practices I shared in this quiz will require you to circle back, sit down, get still, and dig deep. I don’t think you’d be here if you didn’t have what it takes.
“Now what?”
Just the addition of that one precious word, that small invitation to cut the crap and stop with the niceties and be real with yourself and whoever is brave enough to ask it?
It feels like a gulp of oxygen, like coming to the surface and seeing the light again.
