Hey Reader,

If we were sitting across from each other right now - maybe in a quiet café, notebooks open, talking about your next chapter - I’d probably say this:

I know. That sounds vague. Maybe even a little woo.

But hear me out.

So many of us were taught that success comes from doing more. More precision. More prep. More pushing.

Especially if you're the kind of person who's known for holding it all together.

(You and I both know that badge.)

But lately, I’ve been wondering:

What if all that doing is keeping you from becoming?

The Beautiful Mess of the In-Between

You know that weird space between “this no longer fits” and “I have no idea what’s next”?

Yeah. That one.

That space is wildly uncomfortable.
It’s also where every powerful transformation begins.

I’ve been in it.
Clients I work with - Directors, VPs, Founders - they’ve all been in it.

They’re not lost. They’re evolving.

If that’s you right now, I want you to know:

You’re not behind.

You’re just not supposed to know everything (yet).

There’s Research for This, Too

📌 A Harvard Business Review article reveals that women spend about 200 extra hours per year on non‑promotable work (tasks that don’t lead to promotions) because they volunteer much more often and are asked more frequently.

📌 MIT Sloan Management Review shows that leaders who deliberately shape and share their personal leadership narrative gain significantly more clarity and confidence in decision-making.

Translation?
You don’t need more productivity hacks.
You need a better story to live into.

Try This

Here’s a journaling prompt I give coaching clients (and use myself):

“If the next chapter of my life had a title, what would it be?”

It doesn’t have to be clever. It just has to feel true.

Mine this month?
​The Season of Sovereignty.​
Letting go of people-pleasing. Honoring my pace. Following the pull.

THE UNWRITTEN CHAPTER​
​Rewrite Your Leadership Story Before Someone Else Writes It For You

You’ve achieved a lot.
But now, something feels off.
The title fits. The resume shines. But your sense of direction? Not so much.

In this 90-minute masterclass, I’ll help you:
✅ Get clear on what actually matters in your next chapter
✅ Shift from reactive decisions to intentional direction
✅ Learn a tool I teach exec clients to reset career clarity anytime they evolve
✅ Walk away with language you can use immediately in interviews, team convos, or your LinkedIn headline

This isn’t about reinvention. It’s about recalibration.
Because success means nothing if it doesn’t feel like you.
