Chaos Is Just the Moment Before Order Sets In
Mar 22, 2025
You know that feeling when everything’s coming undone at once?
The dishes are piling up. Your mind’s racing. You’ve opened 37 tabs but haven’t finished one thought. You can’t find your rhythm—because there isn’t one. You start thinking something’s wrong with you.
It’s not just stress.
It’s chaos.
And I want to say something that might flip the way you see it:
Chaos isn’t failure. Chaos is data.
Chaos shows you what’s no longer working.
It’s not here to punish you.
It’s here to point at what’s breaking down—and give you a shot at doing it differently.
But most of us don’t pause long enough to look.
We react. We distract. We try to fix the outer stuff without ever asking the real question:
What is this chaos trying to show me?
I’ve watched people change their lives after facing chaos—because they finally stopped running.
Like Jessica, a single mom and freelance designer, who told me during our first coaching session, “Every part of my day feels like I’m trying to survive it.”
She thought she had a time problem.
What she really had was an environment problem.
Her home was working against her. No structure. No boundaries. No energy to spare.
We started small. A morning reset. One clear surface. A commitment to 10 minutes of stillness.
She told me two weeks later:
“I can’t believe how much power I had been giving away.”
Chaos was the clue. Awareness was the first step toward order.
My most powerful shifts came when everything felt like it was falling apart.
I’ve built businesses. Sold millions in real estate. Coached hundreds of clients.
And still—I’ve found myself in moments where everything I built felt like it was crumbling.
One time, years ago, I remember standing in my kitchen surrounded by unopened mail, laundry I hadn’t touched in a week, and a to-do list that made my chest tighten. I was supposed to be leading others. Helping them get their lives together. And here I was—paralyzed.
It wasn’t laziness. It wasn’t failure.
It was a signal that I had been ignoring my own foundation.
That moment—raw and quiet—was the seed of what would become the B.E.D. Blueprint.
I built the course I needed for myself. Not to be more productive—but to feel clear again.
Order isn’t the opposite of chaos. It’s what comes after.
Chaos is the breakdown.
Order is the rebuild.
And the rebuild only happens when we pay attention.
Here’s what to do when chaos hits:
-
Don’t run from it.
Sit with it. Feel it. Ask, What’s actually happening here? -
Look for the pattern.
Chaos is rarely random. It usually repeats until you catch the root cause. -
Choose one thing to reset.
Not everything. Just one. Your space. Your morning. Your phone use. Something small—but daily. -
Create structure that serves you.
Not systems for perfection. Systems for peace. Flow. Energy.
If you’re in the chaos right now, breathe.
You’re not alone. You’re not broken.
You’re just standing in the doorway of something new.
And if you’re ready to build what comes next,
You’re in the right place.
Let’s do it.
