Integrity is one of our 4 core values at The Free Mama (along with putting a bow on it, urgency, and courtesy, if you were curious.) To me, integrity is about following through. Doing what you say and saying what you do. But, as I have learned time and time again, sometimes life doesn’t always go according to plan. Last year I spent a lot of time pushing and pushing to serve (often at the expense of my family or myself) until I hit rock bottom and realized I was completely out of alignment with me. Is that integrity? It sure as heck didn’t feel like it. So this year I have committed to doing things in my business that help people, but are also fun and that feel good. And right now, I am not doing too hot. I have no voice *GASP* My favorite thing to do is talk, but I sound a lot like Phoebe Buffett attempting a sexy rendition of Smelly Cat. #IYKYK My chest is in a lot of pain and I am feeling the post-Free Mama Live adrenaline fully drained and am left a little fatigued. And yesterday, as I sat on a call with my team, hoodie and sunglasses on (see example below), voice cracking, and telling them about my lack of sleep, one of them suggested that I wasn’t in fact cold, but rather I had the chills.

And then I realized: I’m sick. So, what do you do when your values get tested? Where does integrity in business collide with personal integrity? In order to be in integrity with myself AND with you, we’ve had to make the extremely difficult decision to cancel today’s training with Kathryn Jones. To me, integrity doesn’t mean just doing what I say I’m going to do, but also doing it to the best of my ability in a way that serves you at the highest standard and that feels good to me. And today I do not feel good. I’m still going to be bringing you value into the Facebook event by dropping some little value nuggets (from bed, with hot tea), so make sure you keep your eyes peeled for those. I take my responsibility to model what being a Free Mama is very seriously. And this is it. Thank you so much for understanding, I truly appreciate it.
