Over the last couple of months, I’ve been sitting with some quiet questions.
About my life.
My business.
The rhythm of my purpose.
And what it means to honor my worth.
When you love what you do, it’s easy to say yes.
Yes to one more library.
Yes to one more interview.
Yes to squeezing in one more session.
But love without boundaries eventually becomes depletion.
The truth is, the past year has reminded me that time and energy are sacred.
Chuck’s health continues to require tenderness and attention.
My own immune system has asked me, very clearly, to slow down. Bodies whisper before they shout. And I’m choosing to listen.
So, this year, you won’t see me at as many locations.
I won’t be doing as many events.
I won’t have as many openings for sessions.
If I’m honest, it feels a little scary.
There’s a vulnerability in stepping back. In trusting that doing less doesn’t mean becoming less.
But I need a steadier pace.
I need rest woven into my calendar.
I need time to be present with my family.
I need space to create without running on fumes.
This isn’t about retreating from my purpose. It’s about protecting it.
I’m trusting the universe will provide. And I’m trusting that those who truly align with this work will stay.
Thank you for giving me the grace to grow.
To shift.
To breathe.
Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do… is slow down enough to continue.
I’ve made some tough decisions already, and I know a few people may be disappointed. That part isn’t easy for me. I’m a “say yes” person. I love my libraries. I love the interviews. I love the podcasts. I love the conversations. But I can’t say yes to everything anymore.
For a while, scaling back felt snooty. Like I was turning into someone I never wanted to be. But if I’m honest? Every December I’m left completely spent. Spiritually, physically, emotionally.
And that isn’t sustainable.
I have to find a pace.
I have to rest.
I have to take time off.
I have to choose what truly aligns.
This isn’t about pulling away; it’s about protecting the work so I can keep doing it long term. It’s about being present for my family. It’s about honoring the fact that energy is sacred and not infinite. I’m learning that boundaries aren’t ego. They’re stewardship.
Thank you for growing with me.
