Try the latte. Make the leap.

Surprises are everywhere, even in breakfast orders.

This week, I threw caution to the wind and ordered a mysterious “pink iced latte” at a café in Aachen. My non-existent German offered no clues, but I was feeling adventurous, so I went for it. 


Rose-infused? Maybe. 


First sip: Earthy. Bold. Unexpected.


Turns out, it was beetroot. Unusual? Absolutely. Delicious? Surprisingly so.


It reminded me how often the unexpected turns out better than we imagine. Especially when we take a leap:


 🌱 Pitching a dream publication with zero experience… and getting a “yes.”

 🧭 Moving to a town where I knew no one…and finding a community.

 ✨ Starting a new business…and learning I was capable of far more than I thought.


What do these moments have in common? 


They all began by nudging doubt, fear and the comfort zone to one side and taking that one step. 


👣What’s your ‘beetroot moment’? 


What steps are you itching to take, even if you don't know how it will turn out? Share it below - I'll cheer you on.
