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,

Restore - A luxury 1-day retreat experience by Life Intended with Kelly Berry and Sadie Wackett

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...
