Green Light 🚦 It's Go Time (but can you go 10% slower?)

Spring is here and Aries season is in full swing, can you feel it?

Flowers are blooming, it's somehow April already.

When the spring equinox arrived three Fridays ago, it felt like something flipped a switch inside me.

As if my internal traffic signal turned green. A green light signal in my gut, after months of moving in yellow.

It's go time.

Behind-the-scenes, a lot has been in motion…

꩜ Teo is turning TWO next week, which feels wild. Nick and I are currently planning a vehicle-themed birthday party. He is obsessed with garbage trucks, school buses, tractors, skid steers, excavators (I didn't even know the difference between some of these until he educated me lol).

This also means I'm celebrating two years of motherhood. It's felt like just yesterday I was pregnant with him, but also a lifetime ago. It's hard to fathom what life was like before.

꩜ I launched Brilliance, my somatic business mastermind, which sold out to the waitlist in 4 days and brought together such a potent group of creative, intuitive, visionary daughters of immigrants and women of color entrepreneurs. It only officially started a few weeks ago, but the energy has been buzzing. I feel simultaneously so cozy and LIT UP by the momentum we are already building.

Offers are being created, money flows are being unblocked, new perspectives are landing. We're doing a visibility challenge this month, working with resistance, not against it. Taking grounded, precise micro steps forward.

(We're full at the moment, but we reopen in the fall! Join the waitlist to get more details and first access when we do).

꩜ I'm building out a B2B arm of my business, packaging my frameworks for organizations. This has been one of the most exciting parts of my business when it comes to unlocking revenue streams that don't require more work from me. Making more money while doing less. It feels like a sigh of relief as I think about this – so much safety in my body knowing that my financial freedom goals don't require me working more.

꩜ I hosted my first client retreat in Joshua Tree, it was dreamy. A time was had, and everyone left with a breakthrough in their business, while also receiving deep rest and soulful connection with other daughter of immigrants and women of color entrepreneurs and creatives and moms!

꩜ I've been tapping into my performing artist side (my Venusian side) more the last few months, performing traditional Korean dance and drum. Exploring what performance, self-expression, and connecting with my ancestors mean to me, all with pleasure and curiosity.

꩜ I'm preparing for Season 2 of my podcast Embody Your Brilliance. Get readyyy for the comeback soon! I also have been guesting on podcasts, and it's been so much fun. I can't wait to share those episodes when they're out!

(If you have a podcast and want to have me on as a guest, I'd love to connect ♡ I love conversations around entrepreneurship and betting on yourself, motherhood, somatics, being a daughter of immigrants and Korean American, especially when it comes to identity, visibility, and ancestral connection.)

A lot is in the works, but interestingly enough, I'm working less than when I first started my last iteration of my business pre-motherhood (how?!) and it wasn't even working out financially.

These days, I’ve been keeping my work hours around 20 hours a week.

What I feel most proud of is that I can actually turn off my work brain when I’m with my family.

Of course, I still have moments of inspiration or ideas coming through.

But it’s not like before, where I felt constant stress and urgency bleeding into my personal life.

Which is good, because I think Teo might have entered his 2 year old sleep regression last night 🥴 Wish me luck!

If last year was a year of foundation and focus, and in many ways, a year of miracles…

this year is my year of expanding with ease and pleasure.

This is my phrase for 2026.

(What's your word/phrase for 2026? I’d love to know!)

So the question I’ve been sitting with is…

How do I expand with ease and pleasure?

When life is life'ing. When the world is aching and falling apart.

Because right now, it would be so easy to rush. To speed up.

To match the frantic pace of everything moving.

To ride this green light energy and go as fast as possible. (very fire horse energy)

It would be easy to revert to my default setting: urgent

I’ve felt urgent most of my life.

To succeed, to make it, to reach my goals, to finally get to where I need to go.

And yet, these days I have to remind myself: I am already living the life I was dreaming of one year ago. Two years ago.

So instead of speeding up…I’ve been experimenting with going 10% s l o w e r. Even when it feels completely counter to my instincts.

It’s like being in the Fast Trak lane on the highway.

(this may be a SoCal specific reference but bear with me)

Everyone is speeding. You’re weaving in and out of cars, changing lanes constantly to shave off minutes, trying to get ahead. But you know that feeling when you do all that and end up right next to the car that calmly stayed in one lane the whole time? Or when you try to take a shortcut and end up 15 minutes later than expected?

In my early 20s, I used to live my life at 1.5x speed. I was always rushing to get somewhere, so pressed to get to my destination as fast as possible.

But now, I'm challenging myself to go 10% slower.

What does it feel like to not rush?

To expand with ease, not urgency.

When I go 10% slower, I create space. Energetically, in time, in safety.

And strangely, by not rushing, I find that I have more time, somehow.

There's more space for ideas to land.

Space for unexpected opportunities.

Space for that unplanned lightning of inspiration and clarity.

My body actually has time to process what’s happening.

So that I don't find myself trapped in a sprint-crash-burnout cycle.

So that I'm not dramatically expanding-then-contracting where I have to come to a full halt to recover from the “too much” feeling of expansion.

I'm integrating and calibrating as I expand, allowing for more stable expansion.

By going 10% slower, I am able to pay more attention to my needs, surrounding myself with support. I can see more clearly, make more grounded decisions, tend to my nervous system, and build an internal sense of safety so growth can feel more neutral.

By rushing 10% less, I find myself expanding with more grace, more pleasure, more play, less stress, and actively tending to all the different parts of me that want to be included.

Because I'm not here to just sprint to the next milestone.

I'm here for the long play.

So, the green light is here. Spring is here.

What's your move?

Where in your life can you move 10% slower?

What might become available if you did?

Rooting for you,
Eunice
