[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?​
➡ 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.

Life Intended Podcast with host Kelly Berry and guest Lisa Guillot

Hi Reader, Before we get into it today, I wanted to remind all of our local South Florida friends that tonight is our July Monthly Reset. Come join Sadie and I as we explore the topic of Boundaries, connect with other like-minded women, and reset for the month ahead. We meet at om shanti yoga in Tequesta at 7:15pm and would love to see you there! And now, on to a topic I think many of you who run your own businesses or are in leadership positions will resonate with! If you’ve ever thought…"...

Life Intended Podcast with hosts Kelly Berry and Sadie Wackett

Hey Reader, Do you ever find yourself losing it over something small, then wondering, “Uhhhh, what just happened?” Sadie and I have both been there. That’s actually how this week’s conversation started on the podcast: with a story about sunglasses, a slammed door, and very big feelings that didn’t make sense…until they did. Here’s what we’ve both learned on our journeys (the hard way): Most of us were never taught how to really feel our emotions, let alone understand them. We’re taught to...

Life Intended Podcast with host Kelly Berry and guest Ashley Jordan

Hey Reader, Have you ever confused approval with love? Think about that for a moment. That’s a big question. If we're honest, I think most of us have, at some point. We’re taught to be good, impressive, selfless, pleasing. We earn gold stars and praise and think, this must be love. But what if it’s not? This week’s podcast conversation is one we’re still thinking about and honestly, a message we think a lot of women need to hear. Ashley Jordan, lawyer, journalist and author of Unhappy...
