We’re all just trying to figure it out, whatever “it” is, so why not do it together? ✨

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

What a magical 48 hours…💭💫❤️‍🔥

I thought I had big vision, then I stepped into a room with some of the most impactful and influential thought leaders, entrepreneurs, and change makers in the world.

I was reminded that there is so much possibility and that hope is mandatory.

@time thank you for hosting such an incredible summit and gala ✨ by @bessiefong

Both things can exist at the same time.

This past year and a half was filled with some of the most incredible adventures.
 I got to travel and build my business wherever I went. I was able to go to all the birthdays, holidays, and milestones for people I loved. I learned a heck of a lot and made 6 figures in my first year..

So much magic.
 And also…

I have never experienced so much panic and overwhelm in my life.

Social media is a highlight reel, and what you didn’t see was  • Me crying at the airport because I was absolutely exhausted. • Feeling like an asshole of a human for being glued to my phone constantly panicking that a client needed something. • The many sleepless nights where I’d nap for 20 minutes,
pound a Celsius (or two), work for a couple hours, just to repeat the cycle.  (I did this for a week straight. It was a really shitty week.)

My capacity to hold anything started to crumble, but I convinced myself I was fine.
 I’m really good at finding the good stuff—and honestly, that’s often a superpower.
 My bounce-back ability when shit hits the fan is like a ninja.
 But it becomes a problem when you start sweeping things under the rug. 
When I was in Italy, I had a massive breakdown —sobbing on the side of a cliff in Positano, hating everything.

Thank goodness for the most incredible coaches @samanthajoharvey @samanthaloveblossom @michellejacobik who could hold me in my mess, and friends who prayed for me from a world away.
 It was in that moment that I heard God—I’m not religious but I heard him, loud and clear.

You have to slow down.

This was supposed to be me building my dream life—how did this happen? 
if I can build something in panic and fear, I can only imagine what I can build with ease and love.
 You don’t have to abandon yourself for success… 
Past me—I love you so much. But we’re going to do things a little differently now.  Hire the support, Ask for help, Hold your boundaries, Celebrate more often.  Not everything needs an immediate response.
(In business and in life).   for the friend who might need to hear it today — with new information, you’re allowed to change your mind. ✨ by @bessiefong

That’s 100% a half eaten hashbrown 🥔

In very Bessie fashion, running out the door to the Lyft that’s about to leave in a minute.

Day 13 of being consistently consistent and let me tell ya, idk how some of y’all post a video every day. I’m really on day 22 and only now have a moment to edit this. I bow down to that level of consistency 🫡
I will however commit to shortening the distance between posts, if for nothing else, to appease the footage graveyard that is my photo album + showing myself I can still follow through, even if its a little late.

Who knew that eating breakfast would totally change my life?
Because I’m eating breakfast, I have more energy throughout the day, I stopped munching at night, and I’m having more restful sleep, which means I’m waking up at a normal human hour! I’ve woken up before 8 am for a month now, which is totally unheard of. 32 years of living… and breakfast was the key.... Can’t turn back now! ✨✨✨ by @bessiefong

Day 4   If I let the sleepies and my inner monologue take over, I would have missed Limitless Live 2026 and I’m so glad I didn’t.   While I was sitting there listening to some of the most incredible humans, I couldn’t help but think about all the time’s I chose to cancel plans and if on the other side of those plans was something as magical as this event was for me.   As a girliepop who’s literally just figuring things out, It was really cool to see that a lot of the things I’ve naturally chosen to do, had science, and methodologies behind it. It felt like the missing pieces of the puzzle.   Crazy to think that if I chose to flake, that I wouldn’t have the information that I have now. 🧩

Day 3   The Three things I’m starting with on my
consistency journey is
 Eating Breakfast  Waking Up On time  and Posting 1 Video A Day…   I’m posting this at 1 am the next day. I think it still counts if I haven’t gone to sleep yet

It dosent matter that I’m not posting at an “optimal time” It dosent matter that It could be better  It dosent matter that I didn’t do fancier captions
It dosent matter the circumstances

I had absolutely every excuse to not make something  but a promise is a promise!

My word means something when it comes to my friends, my family, and my clients.   but if you were to ask me what my word meant to me?  I’d say it was sh*t.   Not because I don’t care. In fact I care deeply. Which is why it’s been so incredibly frustrating not being able to keep my promises to myself.   I want to be someone who wakes up on the first alarm I want to be someone who eats to fuel her body I want to be someone who creates and shares her art
I want to be someone who says no, when it’s time to rest 
I don’t have the proof yet, but I’m hoping this series helps me to build that proof, literally, so I can see it for my own eyes.

Just a girlie pop who’s trying to figure things out 🙃

I genuinely have no idea what the heck I’m doing right now.
Nothing like a health scare to put life into perspective…
But the one thing I know to be true is that things need to change.   Don’t get me wrong, theres a lot of really incredible, amazing, happy things happening in my life… And also… with new information I reserve the right to change my mind.  And things get to shift.  I get to shift.   Breakfast is the one thing that felt like an easy anchor to creating data points in my brain that I actually am consistent, that I do take care of myself.   Breakfast is also taking breaks
Breakfast is also taking time to create for me  Breakfast is also going to the gym
Breakfast is also getting enough sun
Breakfast is also going to bed on time
Breakfast is also drink more water  Breakfast is also turning the phone off
Breakfast is also not self abandoning
Breakfast is also a lot of things

The first time i was ever asked
“Who are you, without this thought”

I got SO annoyed. Like wtf. 🙄

But when I got over myself and actually considered it… the answer was

I’d be a lot happier
I’d be way more confident
I’d have a lot more peace

And I felt whatever heaviness I was holding onto
start to melt away.

And then I realized… oh. I was the one holding onto the limiting belief, the stories. I was the one being mean to myself because it was “better” than actually risking being vulnerable, risking being seen. If I break it now, then I’ll be safe.

“Who am I without this thought” gave me awareness to how I was showing up for myself and it gave me choice to say, actually I don’t like that story anymore. I’m choosing a new thought

Ps. When you have great coaches that trigger the F out of you and call you forth on your bologna because they love you. @samanthajoharvey @samanthaloveblossom thanks for always keeping me honest 🫶🏻✨ by @bessiefong

We all have our “things”

My thing is that I always feel like I don’t know enough.

Backstory:
My entire life, I’ve felt like I was behind.

English was my second language, and I really struggled with reading.

I write the way I talk, and I’ll probably never be perfectly grammatically correct. I always knew just enough to pass the test.

I felt insecure about this for years because it made learning difficult and I would always get embarrassed when someone corrected me.

When I decided I wanted to go to music school, I guessed on my theory exam and got an 83 because “the notes looked like an upside-down snowman… so that was probably the inverted third.”

Things just made sense differently in my head.

Throughout the years, I found myself in rooms with some of the most incredible artists, teachers, leaders, mentors thinking…

“How the F* did I get here, I have no idea what I’m doing.”

I felt like such a small fish fraud in a sea of really educated, brilliant big fish.

When I was in Costa Rica, looking at the sunset and this whirlwind of a life, I felt so proud of myself because I realized that actually… taking action, learning along the way and being curious is exactly the thing that got me to where I am today.

It was such a relief learning this about myself because It felt like I could finally put the voice telling me I’m not good enough or smart enough, to rest.
