A few years ago, I remember sitting in my car after a typical day thinking:
I don’t think this is it. I don’t think this is how I want my next 10 or 20 years to look. (I had no idea what I wanted it to look like, btw. I just knew something needed to change).
Nothing was wrong …
I was doing all the things. Showing up. Handling responsibilities. Keeping it together.
And yet…
Something just didn’t feel right. It was hard to describe. Unsettled maybe.
Or maybe quietly dissatisfied in a way I didnt want to admit because I felt like it made me sound ungrateful.
I tried the working harder thing. I tried reading and listening to things. I tried ignoring what felt broken.
But nothing changed.
Not until I realized that I was … entering a new chapter.
It showed up as discomfort.
As questions I couldn’t ignore.
As a growing awareness that my old ways just weren’t cutting it anymore..
What I didn’t realize then is that while I was feeling unsure, wobbly and a little scared, I got to choose.
I got to choose!
And the cool part about choosing?
I know more now.
I know what matters.
I know what drains me.
I know what costs me too much.
I know what I’m no longer willing to sacrifice my peace for.
I didn’t realize it at the time, but I knew what I wanted. I just needed a little time to focus on me (and a little help from my coach) so that I could see it.
And when I did, I could see that:
My priorities had shifted.
My values had changed .
And i wanted to be more protective of my energy, not because I was selfish, but because I was getting wiser.
That in-between space was ….
Uncomfortable.
Necessary.
And quietly transformative.
So if you’re in that place right now, hear this:
It’s ok.
It’s better than ok.
This is your moment.
This isn’t a breakdown.
It’s a recalibration.
It’s a freakin’ awesome time of your life if you are willing to see it, feel it and do something about it.
