ISSUE #4 — On the Edge of My Own Power

Feb 04, 2026

It’s been a while since the last Joyful Million Playbook landed.

Not because the work stopped — but because I was inside it.

Since August, I’ve been building, testing, deciding, and recalibrating what it actually means to pursue a million-euro business without burnout, without self-betrayal, and without losing the life I’ve worked hard to create.

This issue is a reflection from that place.

Not a recap.
Not a highlight reel.
A report from the inside — on consistency, expansion, money, belief, and the moment where waiting gives way to action.


What This Issue Covers

  • Consistency Without Self-Betrayal
    Why I’ve only ever been consistent with what I believe in — and what changed when I finally named that.

  • Physical Expansion as a Growth Strategy
    What regaining movement taught me about business limits, ambition, and why the body often reaches capacity before the business does.

  • The Anchor That Made Weekly Communication Joyful
    How Make It Bite-Sized became my rhythm for trust, value, and relationship — and what this means if you struggle to “be consistent.”

  • Raising the Bar on My Work (and My Offers)
    The thinking behind the Joyful Planner Suite, why technology finally caught up with an idea I’ve held for decades, and how this became an anchor for the million.

  • Regulating for Abundance
    What receiving income from multiple streams revealed about my nervous system, money, and why abundance has to feel normal to last.

  • From Passive Growth to Active Choice
    Why building a coherent ecosystem of aligned offers made me confident enough to invest in growth.

  • The Belief That Holds It All Together
    Why joy isn’t the goal — it’s the courage mechanism that makes doing it your way possible.

  • Standing on the Edge of My Own Power
    Where I am now — not waiting, not searching — but ready.

Each of these shifts marks a threshold.
Not finish lines — but places where something real begins.


A Note Before You Step Inside

This Playbook isn’t about arriving at a million.
It’s about becoming someone who can hold what they’re building — without burning out, fragmenting, or shrinking back.

What I’ve shared here isn’t theory.
It’s lived, tested, embodied.

If you’re building something ambitious — and you want to do it your way — I hope this issue meets you where you are.

ISSUE #3 — The First Million-Maker Milestone: Covering Your Base
This month I crossed a threshold.Not the million yet — but a moment that shifted everything inside me. The recurring revenue from SOAR now covers the recurring costs of my business. The essentials. The baseline. And when that clicked, something else clicked too: this is a business worthy of my conscious attention. In this issue, I share what that milestone really means, how it reframed my path ...
ISSUE #2 - Expansion Requires Evidence
This month didn’t roar. It whispered. It asked quieter questions than I expected.Like this one: “But do I deserve this?” Not in a dramatic, doubtful way—just a moment of deep honesty.And from there, everything started to shift. This issue is about those shifts. The ones you might miss if you’re not paying attention.The kind that don’t look like success at first glance, but feel like transformat...
