If you’ve been feeling a little lost…This might be why


Hey Reader,

Have you ever looked around at your life - the job, the schedule, the relationships - and thought:
​"I have so much to be grateful for…why do I feel so off?"

If that’s you right now, you're not alone.

A lot of women, especially high-functioning, thoughtful, get-it-done women are quietly carrying a deep, unspoken question:

Who am I right now?

Not the role you play at work.
​
Not the version of you your family depends on.
​
Not the reliable one, or the productive one, or the one who holds it all together.

But the you underneath all of that.
​
The you that maybe hasn’t had much space lately.

We don’t talk about it much, but identity loss is real. Especially for women who’ve spent years living for the next milestone, for other people’s approval, or just trying to make everything work.

And it doesn’t happen all at once.
​
It’s slow. Subtle. Silent.

  • You start saying “I’m fine” when you’re not. (🙋 GUILTY!)
  • You stop doing the things that light you up because they feel optional.
  • You catch yourself thinking, I just need to get through this week...every. single. week.

Here’s what I want you to know: You’re not broken. You’re buried.​
​
And the real you? She’s not gone. She’s just waiting for your attention again.

That’s where self-leadership begins. Not in more hustle, or fixing, or doing more.
But in the quiet decision to stop disappearing into the roles you’ve been playing.

If this hits close to home, join us for our Friday Reset, our free weekly coaching session. Or join us for our upcoming 6-week Self-Leadership Blueprint program.

These are spaces we're creating to breathe, reflect, connect and reset so that you can live a life that feels as good as it looks.

Because when you start to reconnect with who you are beyond what you do, everything shifts.

See you soon,

Hey Reader, Awaken starts this week and we couldn’t imagine a more aligned time to kick it off. Because let’s be real. Most women, like us, don’t need more information. They need more space to integrate what they are learning, more support to process it and more courage to live it. And this is exactly the kind of experience we’re creating inside Awaken. Awaken is not an information download. It is a 6-week guided journey for women who are juggling a multitude of roles in their lives, and who...

Life Intended Podcast cover art featuring Kelly Berry and Sadie Wackett

Hi Reader, We ended last week with a powerful Friday Reset on a topic that, is concerningly, but maybe not so surprisingly, out of reach for women - Self compassion Intentional kindness toward yourself, especially when things are hard. To help us explore this for ourselves, Sadie shared a framework from researcher and author Kristin Neff, who describes self-compassion as having three core components: Self-Kindness – Speaking to yourself the way you would a close friend Common Humanity –...

Hi Reader, You’ll hear us talk a lot about Self-leadership, which really starts with self awareness. This is a life skill typically not taught in school so as adults when we go through any transition, or feel pulled to change in some way, it’s hard. Becoming honest with yourself is an important step to cultivating self-awareness, through the quiet, everyday check-ins where you pause and ask: What do I actually care about? What's draining me? What energizes me? What feels out of alignment? You...
