​
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 else. They should help you trust yourself instead of prescribing who you should be.

Here’s a quick practice we use ourselves, and you can too, the next time you’re looking for answers outside of yourself.

The Self-Trust Pause:​
Next time you’re about to say yes to something, or spiral into overthinking, pause and ask:

1. Am I choosing this from self-trust, or from fear/approval-seeking?
2. Will this action give me energy or drain it?

If the answers don't feel good in your body, that’s your wisdom talking.

Trust it.

This is the heart of self-leadership - creating enough space to listen, and enough courage to move from alignment instead of autopilot.

If you’re ready to practice this in community, Awaken is for you. Over six weeks we guide you through awareness, self-trust, boundaries, and alignment so you can bridge the gap between the life you’ve built and the one you actually want.

You don’t have to keep figuring this out alone. Awaken gives you space, tools, and a circle of women walking the same path.

With clarity and courage,

xo,
Kelly & Sadie

P.S. Join us this Friday at 11 AM ET for our Friday Reset. This monthly session is a live opportunity to practice this work: one hour to slow down, reflect, and put self-leadership into practice together.
