23 Days of Tunnel Vision – Embracing a Business Heresy

Published: August 9, 2025 by Jacqueline Gates Filed Under: Musings 6 Comments

There’s a particular kind of exhaustion that comes from trying to market yourself in ways that feel fundamentally wrong. After nearly a decade in business, I realized I’d been collecting strategies like vintage teacups – beautiful, potentially useful, but ultimately just taking up space while I reached for the same familiar approach every day. So I’ve embarked on a 23-day tunnel vision experiment: no scrolling business content, no consuming other people’s strategies, no outside voices. Just me, trusting that everything I need to create something meaningful is already inside. The results? A surge of creativity, confidence, and clarity that had been missing for months

Can You Be Spiritual and Serious? Woo and Professional?

Published: May 27, 2025 by Jacqueline Gates Filed Under: Musings 2 Comments

Why I Trust My Own Reality (Even When the World Raises Eyebrows) Picture this: I’m on stage, embodying a character who’s about to die. I glance into the audience and see tears streaming down faces. Affirming, yes. But also, WTH? I mean, this was theater. Make-believe. Scripted lines and painted sets. And yet – the […]

Glamour Magic: The Most Misunderstood Manifestation Tool of All

Published: May 8, 2025 by Jacqueline Gates Filed Under: Musings Leave a Comment

You are who you let them see. Let’s get this out of the way first … true glamour has nothing to do with creating a false impression. You’re not covering  up or altering the substance of you. Any artifice we may apply is external, intentional and strategic. Glamour is not, as the old definitions would […]

Published: August 20, 2024 by Jacqueline Gates Filed Under: Musings Leave a Comment

If you have struggled to find the discipline to get things done, even the things you really want to get done, I have a subversive and exciting solution for you. A little back context and backstory. When I was at school, the convent nuns would write on every single report card, “Jacqueline lacks discipline. If […]

What Your Future Self Wants You to Know About Your Inner Mean Girl

Published: August 15, 2024 by Jacqueline Gates Filed Under: Musings Leave a Comment

Hear me clearly, glorious one … We do not ever shame our previous selves. Not shaming who-you-were is the path to the future you want. It’s so easy when you get into conversation with your Future Self, when you’re forward focused, to think about your Previous Selves and go, “Oh my God, what I was […]

Being Visible 24/7 is Exhausting – And Unnecessary For Success

Published: August 14, 2024 by Jacqueline Gates Filed Under: Goddess at Home, Musings Leave a Comment

Recently, I conducted a market research survey, and one major challenge among fellow entrepreneurs stood out: the pressure to be visible online 24/7. I got questions like – Years ago, I believed the answer was yes. I thought I had to be constantly visible, or people would forget me. Back in the early days of […]

How to Act As If Effectively

Published: August 9, 2024 by Jacqueline Gates Filed Under: Musings Leave a Comment

The piece that most teachings leave out is the most important. Any quick google search on “how to act as if” will give you countless suggestions about visualizing, journaling, scripting and affirmations. Useful, yes, but woefully incomplete and therefore frustratingly ineffective. Let’s talk about visualizing – Yes, it’s a valuable tool, but what and how […]

Imposter Syndrome and the Fear of Being Visible

Published: August 9, 2024 by Jacqueline Gates Filed Under: Musings Leave a Comment

It’s such a crappy but all too common feeling, isn’t it? –that deep lack of self-belief and a paralyzing fear of being visible AAAND on the flip side, feeling a deep lack of self-belief and a fear of being visible. That existential frustration of knowing how damn good you are at what you do and […]
