What Happens When You Start Doing Things Your Own Way
Creating vs. Following
Have you ever noticed that you naturally approach things differently than the way you were taught or expected to do them?
I've recognized a pattern in myself. I often start by learning or following something someone else has created, but somewhere along the way, I begin noticing possibilities, making adjustments, and eventually turning it into something of my own.
In this episode of Make It Make Sense, I'm sharing how that natural tendency has shaped my life and led me to create Feel Empowered Every Day, Behavior Language, Self-Intelligence, and my own Personal Process assessment.
I'm also opening up about the realities of building a business around something I love, including the parts that don't come naturally, my experience using AI as a tool, and why I've chosen to approach my work differently from traditional coaching models.
But this conversation isn't really about entrepreneurship. It's about recognizing how you naturally operate, understanding what serves you well, and giving yourself permission to approach life in a way that makes sense for you.
Because creating isn't better than following, and following isn't better than creating. What matters is understanding your own process and learning how to work with it rather than against it.
Something to consider - What do you naturally do that you've never really stopped to recognize or appreciate?
Different doesn't mean wrong. And understanding that can change everything about how you feel empowered every day.

Forging Your Own Path, One Step at a Time
I recently had the opportunity guest teach a graduate class in the Family Counseling program at the University of Dayton, sharing how I took what I learned, combined it with what I experienced and noticed, and created my own concepts, models, and business through Feel Empowered Every Day.
I shared the evolution of my work, from understanding strengths and behavior to developing my own Self Intelligence model, Behavior Language approach, Personal Process Assessment, and ultimately, Personal Process Advising.
But the purpose wasn't to teach them my approach. It was to encourage them to discover and develop their own.
As they prepare for careers in counseling, I wanted them to recognize that their education provides a foundation, but it doesn't have to define the only way they use what they're learning.
Your expertise is what you know. Your perspective is what you bring to it. And the possibilities are in what you create from the two.
One of the things I emphasized was that I didn't start out knowing what my business would become. Each experience, observation, conversation, and idea led to something else. And it continues to evolve.
I encouraged them to consider:
What do you know?
What do you notice?
What comes naturally to you?
What do people need?
What could you create where those things meet?
This isn't just something for students beginning their careers. It's something worth considering at any stage of life.
You don't necessarily have to abandon what you've learned or what you're already doing to create something that feels more like you. Sometimes it's about taking what you know and finding your own way to use it.
Different doesn't mean wrong. And following an established path isn't the only way to make a meaningful difference.
Something to consider: Are you following a path because it's the one you want, or because it's the one you've been shown?
Feel empowered every day to create a way of working, and living, that works for you.

The Freedom To Do Things Your Way
Different vs. Wrong
How often do we find ourselves annoyed with someone simply because they do things differently than we would? Or worse, question ourselves because our way doesn't match what others expect?
It's often the small, everyday differences in how we think, act, and relate that create unnecessary frustration, resentment, and disconnect in our relationships.
In this episode of Make It Make Sense, I'm sharing relatable examples of how our different approaches to communication, learning, relationships, and personal values can cause us to misunderstand one another and even hold ourselves back. What if instead of deciding who's right or wrong, we became more curious about why we each do things the way we do? Understanding our own Personal Process and learning to recognize someone else's Behavior Language can change how we experience ourselves, our relationships, and everyday life.
Different doesn't mean wrong. And understanding that can change everything.

Mary and Mark Are All of Us
Have you met Mary and Mark yet?
I've recently started sharing videos featuring Mary and Mark, a fictional couple navigating everyday life together.
They're not facing some extraordinary crisis. They're simply two people who have spent years building a life together, yet sometimes struggle to understand one another.
Sound familiar?
Maybe it's making plans for a Friday night, responding to exciting news about their daughter, or something as simple as deciding where to eat.
These little moments can turn into frustration, hurt feelings, or misunderstandings. Not necessarily because either person is doing something wrong, but because they each have their own way of thinking, acting, and relating.
That's why I created Mary and Mark.
Through their everyday experiences, I'm showing how the same situation can look and feel completely different to two people, depending on their Personal Process.
My hope is that as you watch their stories unfold, you'll recognize a little of yourself, your partner, or someone else in your life.
And maybe you'll begin to see a behavior that once frustrated you from a different perspective.
Because sometimes getting along better doesn't require someone to change who they are. It starts with understanding why they do what they do.
I'd love for you to follow along with Mary and Mark's stories in my social media videos and share what you notice.
After all, different doesn't mean wrong.
Look for them on FB, IG, YT @feelempoweredeveryday and TT @feelempoweredwithelle

You Can Change Your Mind
About what you want.
About what makes you happy.
About what you're willing to tolerate.
About the traditions you've always followed.
About the relationships you invest in.
About the life you thought you were supposed to live.
Sometimes we keep doing things simply because we've always done them. Or because other people have come to expect them from us.
But who you were, what you wanted, and what worked for you ten years ago doesn't have to determine what works for you today.
Changing your mind doesn't mean you were wrong before. It may simply mean something is different now.
Here's something to think about today:
What are you still doing because it's what you've always done, rather than because it's what you actually want to do?
Feel Empowered Every Day.

Learning to Understand Myself
For years, I was really good at focusing on understanding everyone around me. What took me much longer was learning to offer that same understanding to myself.
In this episode of Make It Make Sense, I'm sharing the experiences behind Feel Empowered Every Day and why “different doesn't mean wrong” became so personal to me. We talk about adapting to other people, losing sight of what's actually true for you, learning the difference between understanding and excusing behavior, and recognizing that your way of doing things doesn't automatically need to be fixed simply because it's different.
Understanding yourself doesn't mean you'll suddenly have yourself figured out. I certainly don't. But it gives you information and that information gives you choices.
So I'll leave you with the question I ask in this episode: What changes when you stop trying to figure out what's wrong with you and start trying to understand what's true about you?

Book of the Month
So much of feeling empowered comes down to knowing yourself well enough to stop living by someone else’s definition of who you should be.
This book is about self-discovery, perspective and becoming more intentional about the life you’re creating, which fits beautifully with the work I do around Self Intelligence and understanding your Personal Process.
Because the more you understand yourself, the easier it becomes to recognize what actually works for you and let go of what doesn’t.
A couple of my favorite lines are “Never say you’ve learned everything you need to know about yourself.” and “One of the most important things in life is dedicating yourself to yourself. Give yourself permission to explore your inner being before trying to figure out the external forces that surround you.”
