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,

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...
