nwv recap #6: finding flow

dear founder,

this month, we moved slow—but it wasn’t stillness.
we found rhythm. in the pauses. in the pivots. in the pressure.

i used to think flow came from forward motion.
now i think it comes from internal alignment—when the fear stops steering.

this month, i questioned everything.
what’s enough for an mvp? how much is too much to bet on an idea?
can i trust myself enough to follow through, even when the path blurs?

what brought me back wasn’t clarity. it was connection.
my support system didn’t offer answers—just presence.
and that was enough.
i remembered: the outcome is never the point.
what matters is showing up, honestly & fully.

so here’s where we are:

wins:

  • we tested our own product on ourselves—it’s working. kind of.

  • found a dev agency that might be the one

  • team synergy is building—less noise, more resonance

  • linkedin traffic’s up, but more importantly, it’s real

challenges:

  • it’ll likely take ~$80k to bring this to life

  • we’re realizing: slowing down is our only path to speed

  • strategy sessions that feel like therapy (in the best way)

the version of me i want to emerge is emerging.
not because everything’s perfect, but because i keep showing up.

so i’ll leave you with two questions i’m sitting with:
what’s your gut telling you?
&
who can you trust right now—not to give answers, but to hold space for you while you find your own?

with vision, purpose, & appreciation,
Brooke
