Tuesday Tales: You Have to Suit Yourself

I just know something like this has happened to you too…

You are blindsided by a crisis. A project implodes, a key partner bails, the budget gets slashed. You are hurt, cornered, and the clock is ticking.

You reach for the usual fixes, but they are not enough this time.

You have to reach for something more.

You have to step outside your comfort zone and start taking inventory.

What do I have right now, within arm’s reach? What can I staple, stitch, or weld together fast enough to keep me alive long enough to fight another day?

Out of scraps, you build version one. It is heavy. Awkward. Imperfect. But it buys you time. It turns panic into a plan. It gives you just enough protection to move, just enough power to push back, just enough focus to outsmart the chaos.

That is the thing about pressure. We think it crushes creativity, but it often distills it. Constraints become catalysts. Obstacles become your path.

That is your origin story beginning to reveal itself.

Take a moment and think about it: What part of your own story started with a shock or setback, but led to resourcefulness, creativity, and growth?

If you want help turning that moment into a clear origin story you can use in interviews, bios, or pitches, reach out and we will build it together.

Share it below, or message me if you’d like help uncovering how your greatest challenges might actually be your superpower portfolio, waiting to be discovered.

That’s what You Own Your Origin Story (YOYOS) is all about: helping you see the power inside your own narrative.

Find me here again this Friday and we’ll see how your origin story can help build your superpower portfolio and  your performance.

You own your origin story. Message me if I can help you claim it and build your superpower portfolio.
