There can be a lot of pressure to find our purpose., turn it into a career and make money out of it! And while this can be a beautiful journey, our purpose doesn’t always come through in how we pay the bills, which let’s be honest, carry’s a lot of privilege! Maybe your purpose is to raise empathetic children who care about the world around them…To cultivate relationships that nourish, instead of drain you…To become more active and engaged in causes that matter to you….To create art….To find what makes you feel alive.!! The biggest question is, “Are you hearing the call that there’s still more for you?” It begins with staying open., getting curious and learning how to listen to what is trying to come out. The world needs your ideas, your gifts and your spark! It’s time!

Your relationships start with YOU. When you give yourself permission to heal, you will send waves of healing into your partnerships, family, community, and the world as a whole. One of the most powerful things we can do as a woman is to be mindful of who we surround ourself with and put the work into becoming the person that we want to be surrounded by. It starts with getting curious. Who are you giving energy to, and receiving energy from? Who are the people you are around where you leave feeling filled up, better about yourself? And the harder question, who are those that don’t? What if the next chapter brought clarity on your energetic boundaries, your wants and your needs. What if you get to have the relationships you desire?

The blueprints you received for this life haven’t shaped up to be the beautiful life you desire. I get it. You’ve checked off all the things you were “supposed” to do, yet find yourself still feeling empty inside wondering, “Wasn’t it supposed to be more beautiful than this?” We live in a perfectionistic presentation society and despite what you may see from a quick scroll on social media, the truth is, life isn’t always supposed to be beautiful. Sometimes, it is hard, and then it is beautiful, and then it is hard again! The beauty of life can be found at the intersection of the joy and the pain. What if you could own your story, show up authentically, and embrace all your perfectly, imperfect humanness in your next chapter. We all deserve to live our best life. You are a beautifully complex human, so give yourself the compassion you deserve. Meaningful change is a process., that will reward you in the next chapter with authenticity, worthiness, growth and connection.

Empty nests, divorce, motherhood, grief, loss, and other major life shifts can throw you for a loop and leave you reeling, wondering, “Who am I?'“ We pour so much of ourselves into other people that at the end of the day, there is nothing left for ourselves. Bit, by small bit, we give our power away until one day we wake up and don’t even know who we are anymore. Choosing and centering yourself means reclaiming and redefining who you were before the world told you who to be! It’s realizing YOU are your best guide. It begins with getting clear on your core values, what matters to you, then making the shifts needed so you can step fully, and with confidence, into your next chapter. The magic happens when our values, thoughts and actions align!
