[Life Intended] If "yes" is your default…read this

Hi Reader, I’m sure you’ve found yourself in a season of overwhelm before. And during that season, I’m guessing someone gave you this enlightening advice: “You just need to set boundaries.” As if there’s a pill you can swallow and suddenly your calendar, inbox, and nervous system feel balanced and protected. That’s never been our experience. Setting boundaries is something that we just don’t find comes that easy to us and to most women we know. A few weeks ago, I was standing in the kitchen...

A woman walking along a beach feeling rested and restored

Hi Reader, When was the last time you gave yourself permission to truly pause? Not just to catch your breath between commitments, but to step away from the constant demands and noise and to actually exhale. Now imagine you had a full day designed for you to pause, breathe, and reset. That’s what Sadie and I had in mind when we created RESTORE, a one-day luxury retreat for women at the beautiful Amrit Ocean Resort on Singer Island, happening Sunday, November 9th. RESTORE is about creating the...

Life Intended host Kelly Berry and Thetasomatics founder Isabella Mainwaring discuss her new book The Power We Hold

Hi Reader, From KellySadie wrote something new yesterday and I absolutely love her framing. Sharing it here because so many of us are in a “something’s changing” season. From SadieThresholds are the moments in life when you feel the ground moving under your feet. You’re not fully where you were, and not quite where you’re going. Maybe you recognize yourself here: You’re leading at work and feel the weight of expectations from every direction. You’re returning after maternity leave or another...

Life Intended podcast with host Kelly Berry and guest Julia Arpag

Hi Reader, So many of us spend years looking outside ourselves for the next right move. We hire experts, read books, scroll through advice, hoping someone else will hand us the answer. Here’s the shift we’re inviting you to make: leading yourself starts when you stop outsourcing your power. You can lean on resources and wisdom while still remembering that you get the final say. Reflection, tools, and community are here to bring you back to what you already know, not to shape you into someone...

Sadie Wackett,  Executive Coach, Facilitator and Chief People Officer looking over her shoulder

Hi Reader, Have you ever felt: "I want two things at once, and I feel guilty or confused no matter what I choose.” I want to work, and I want more time with my kids.I want to be needed and I want freedom.I want to reach my full potential and I want to rest. It feels like contradiction. But what if it’s actually your inner voice, knocking at the door? The way we’ve been taught to live is cracking. Burnout rates are at record highs, technology is accelerating at inhuman speeds, and many of us...

Life Intended Host Kelly Berry with Human Performance expert Dr. Lauren Hodges

Hi Reader, If you feel like your calendar is running your life instead of you, you’re not alone. So many of the women we work with say the same thing: they’re accomplished, they’re holding it all together…AND...they’re exhausted. The good news? Regaining a sense of control doesn’t mean overhauling your entire life or burning it all down to start over. You can start with just a few small, but intentional shifts. Here are four that came up in this week’s podcast conversation with Human...

Life Intended Podcast hosts Kelly Berry & Sadie Wackett

Hi Reader, If you’ve been moving so fast lately that you can’t hear yourself think, this invitation is for you. We’re hosting a live workshop next week called From Hustle to Wholeness. It’s a reset for women who carry A LOT and want their life to feel like theirs again. What we’ll cover: Why “success” can still feel empty and how to close the gap between achievement and fulfillment Simple ways to hear your own voice when expectations have been louder than your truth First steps toward...

Life Intended host Kelly Berry with breathwork expert Jenice Mattek

Hi Reader, The women we work with aren’t lacking ideas or ambition. They have that in spades.What they’re lacking is space. Mental space. Emotional space. Time to think a thought all the way through. (Moms...you get this, right?) And without that space, it’s hard to imagine anything beyond what’s right in front of you. The to-do lists, meetings, laundry, bills, emails, obligations... And when you’re in that place, possibility doesn’t feel exciting.It feels far away. Indulgent, even. You can’t...

Life Intended Podcast with host Kelly Berry and guest Courtney Cecil

Hi Reader, There are seasons when it all just feels like too much.Too many decisions. Too many demands. Too many tiny things to remember.And somehow, yet again, you’re the one holding it all. Whether it’s back-to-school prep, a big work project, or just the mental weight of being the default everything, this time of year has a way of turning up the pressure. We’ve been talking a lot about that lately. Not just the overwhelm itself, but the systems, habits, and mindset shifts that actually...

Life Intended Podcast with host Kelly Berry and guest Jessica Adams

Hi Reader, I used to think that I needed a “day off” or “just more hours in my day” to feel like I could catch my breath. And (I’m guessing that like you), that really never happens.But, I’ve realized that my peace actually comes from how I use the space I already have. For example, my daily walk home after dropping my daughter off at school used to be filled with phone calls and podcasts.Now? It's a quiet time that I claim as mine.Let’s call it a margin moment.And having that time, and using...
