[Life Intended] What’s Going Right?


Hello Reader,

I'm keeping it short today - the newsletter, this week's podcast episode, my to-do list - everything. We all have enough to do this week, right?!

So, here's a message I feel is both timely and timeless...

What if this holiday season, instead of getting caught up in stress and to-dos, you focused on gratitude?

Not the surface-level or transactional kind we tend to mention around the Thanksgiving table—but deep, intentional gratitude that changes how you see the world.

Gratitude isn't just a fleeting feeling; it's a mindset that can shift our focus from scarcity to abundance.

By intentionally recognizing the good in our lives, we can enhance our mental and emotional well-being, strengthen relationships, and build resilience.

Imagine waking up each day and noticing what’s good instead of what’s lacking.

That’s the power of a gratitude practice and what my episode this week is about.

If you don't have a regular gratitude practice, here are a few easy ideas to get started:

  • Pause for Perspective: In moments of stress, ask yourself, “What’s going right?”
  • Gratitude Walks: Use your morning stroll or coffee break to reflect on simple things you truly appreciate. (Get super specific here!)
  • Celebrate Wins: At the end of each day, write down one thing that happened that you’re proud of or happy about.

This holiday season, I challenge you to embrace a mindset of gratitude—not just as a passing thought but as a way of life.

Here’s to a season of abundance and joy,

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...

Life Intended podcast with host Kelly Berry and guest Julia Arpag

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...

Sadie Wackett,  Executive Coach, Facilitator and Chief People Officer looking over her shoulder

Hi Reader, Have you ever felt: "I want two things at once, and I feel guilty or confused no matter what I choose.” I want to work, and I want more time with my kids.I want to be needed and I want freedom.I want to reach my full potential and I want to rest. It feels like contradiction. But what if it’s actually your inner voice, knocking at the door? The way we’ve been taught to live is cracking. Burnout rates are at record highs, technology is accelerating at inhuman speeds, and many of us...
