[Life Intended] No one Is coming to tell you what to do


Hi Reader,

Most people are waiting.

Waiting for clarity.
Waiting for the right time.
Waiting for someone else to make the call.

But here’s the truth: No one is coming to tell you what to do next.

And that’s the best news you’ll hear all day.

One thing you're going to hear me start to talk about a lot more is self-leadership.

What is self-leadership and why does it matter? Let me tell you.

Self-leadership is about choice.

It’s realizing that no one is going to come save you, give you "permission", hand you a map, or guarantee that your next step is the right one.

Self-leadership is deciding to move first. Even before you feel ready, before you have all the answers, before someone else tells you it’s a good idea.

Most women have been conditioned to follow. To keep the peace. To meet expectations. To put their heads down and just keep going.

But waiting is a trap.

At some point, you have to decide that the only person you’re following is yourself.

I want to ask you a really important question: Where have YOU given up the lead in your life?

Ask yourself:
➡ Where am I waiting when I should be deciding?​
➡ What am I avoiding because I don’t have certainty yet?​
âž¡ Who am I letting take the lead in my life, my choices, or my time?

Your next move is yours to make. Here’s how to step back into being the leader of your life today:

  1. Make One Unapologetic Decision​
    Not a passive choice. Not a reaction to someone else. An intentional, deliberate move that puts you back in the driver’s seat in some area of your life, no matter how small.
  2. Stop Waiting for Certainty. Take Action Anyway.​
    Confidence comes from doing, not waiting. If you feel uncertain about the outcome, trust yourself that you can handle it no matter what it is.
  3. Keep Leading, Even When It’s Uncomfortable​
    Self-leadership isn’t about making one bold move. It’s about choosing again and again to trust yourself over the noise, the doubt, and the fear of getting it wrong.

Because the truth is, you’re not stuck. You’re just waiting.

And today, you get to decide.
​
Your life will change the moment you realize you are the one leading it.

What’s one move you’re making today to take the lead in your own life? Hit reply and let me know—I’d love to hear.

If you’re ready to go deeper into self-leadership, stay tuned. Big things are coming. You can learn to make these choices, to shift your patterns and to live a life that feels good. We will guide you along the way.

Hi Reader, The topic of self-belief has been showing up everywhere for us lately. We’ve been seeing it surface in conversations with clients, in a recent Friday Reset and even in our own inner dialogue. The more we listen to our clients, our community, and ourselves, the more obvious it becomes: so much of what we’re wrestling with comes back to self-belief. We often think our confidence comes from certainty, experience, or other people’s validation.Real self-belief is built from the inside...

Hi Reader, Let’s Talk About Balance. You’ve probably heard it before:You just need better balance.You need to prioritize better.You'd feel more balanced if you were more organized.

It’s a simple...
