[Life Intended] 10 Lessons That Changed My Life (and Maybe Yours Too)


Hi Reader,

As 2024 comes to a close, I’m feeling an overwhelming sense of gratitude for all of you who joined me on this journey through Season 1 of Life Intended.

What began as a creative passion project has blossomed into a platform for deep, meaningful conversations about living intentionally in every aspect of life.

This week’s solo episode is a reflection on the lessons that emerged from Season 1 as I bring it to a close.

I’ve learned so much from my guests and chose my top 10 takeaways to share with you from this transformative season.

From trusting your gut and letting go of perfectionism to building stronger relationships and owning your agency, these lessons have profoundly shaped how I live—and I hope they’ve impacted you, too.

Here’s a glimpse of the lessons that stayed with me long after the episodes aired:

  • The power of intuition: Learning to trust your gut and make decisions that align with your values can unlock personal breakthroughs. (Spoiler alert - lots more on this topic coming in Season 2!)
  • Embracing imperfection: Letting go of the need to “get it all right” creates space for joy, creativity, and progress.
  • Agency and ownership: Life isn’t always fair, but when you take responsibility for what’s within your control, you can lead with purpose and intention.
  • Abundance over scarcity: Shifting from fear-based thinking to an abundance mindset opens doors to greater fulfillment and alignment.
  • The strength of relationships: Whether it’s family, friends, or colleagues, nurturing meaningful connections is the cornerstone of a truly intentional life.

Each takeaway comes with actionable advice to help you reflect, grow, and step into 2025 with more clarity and intention.

I also want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the support, feedback, and connection you’ve all shared with me over these 37 episodes. This season has been a journey of growth not just for the podcast but for me personally, and it wouldn’t have been the same without you.

Looking ahead, Season 2 will return in early 2025 with exciting new interviews, fresh insights, and tools to help us all live with more purpose. I can’t wait to share what’s coming next! (And don't worry, I'll still be sending newsletters and posting on social in the meantime!)

But for now, let’s savor the lessons we’ve learned this season.

Thank you for being a part of this community. Here’s to growth, gratitude, and living intentionally—together.

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...
