Dear Reader,
There comes a moment on every journey when the path forward isn’t about doing more—it’s about becoming more.
It’s not about the next action item on your to-do list.
It’s not about hustling harder or pushing through.
It’s about pausing. Taking a breath. And asking the deeper question:
Who am I becoming?
Because no matter how much we plan, strive, or achieve, we can’t truly step into the next chapter of our lives while clinging to an outdated version of who we used to be.
Curious about what your next chapter could look like?
Then keep on reading.
Now let's get ALIGNED...

The Story
Not long ago, I met a woman who was standing at the edge of a new life.
She had just moved to a new city with her teenage daughter, starting over after a painful divorce.
She didn’t know many people. Her sense of identity—who she was as a partner, a professional, a friend—had been completely shaken.
She came to one of my workshops feeling stuck.
She knew she didn’t want to recreate the same patterns that had led her to heartbreak and burnout. But she wasn’t quite sure who she was becoming or how to step into this new chapter.
We began by looking at her whole life—not just her career, but her health, her relationships, her joy, her sense of meaning.
We mapped out what she wanted to experience and, slowly, she started to say yes to that vision.
Today, I'm happy to share, her life looks completely different. 🤗
She has a thriving business that brings in more income than she’s ever made before.
She’s found joy in movement and health again.
She and her daughter are settled into a home they love.
And she recently published a book—something she never imagined she’d do.
But more than any of those outward successes, she tells me this:
She finally feels at peace.
She trusts herself.
She feels like her life is her own.
That is the real transformation.
The Spiritual Lesson
What made the difference in her life wasn’t just a new plan or a set of action steps—it was a shift in identity.
Before anything changed on the outside, she made a quiet but powerful decision:
To think differently.
To see herself differently.
To allow herself to become someone new.
That’s the part most of us skip.
We stay busy adjusting the surface—tweaking the schedule, setting new goals, crossing things off the list.
But unless we update the story of who we are, we’ll keep walking in circles, bumping into the same old walls.
This is your invitation: To begin with identity, not strategy.
To ask:
👉 “Who am I becoming?”
And then, answer for yourself:
👉 “I am someone who…”
Let your heart finish the sentence. No pressure. No performing. Just truth.
You might hear:
- I am someone who trusts my own timing.
- I am someone who speaks even when it’s uncomfortable.
- I am someone who leads with heart.
- I am someone who no longer hides to make others feel safe.
That’s where lasting change begins—beneath the surface, with the quiet but powerful decision to become the next version of yourself.
Just like she did.
Just like you can.
Your Call to Action
For your coaching assignment for this week, take a moment to reflect:
Who are you becoming?
What kind of ✨energy✨ do you want to carry into this next chapter?
If you feel called, I invite you to take a moment to complete this prompt in your journal or quietly in your heart:
👉 “I am someone who…”
And if you’d like, hit “reply” and share your words with me. I’d be honored to witness them.
Remember: lasting change doesn’t come from doing more—it comes from becoming more of who you truly are.
You already hold the wisdom within you. Trust that. Honor that. And step forward with new energy, one breath, one choice at a time.
Abundant Blessings and Namaste.
